Frankly, the only thing I got out of the conf. call
today is increased earnings forecast for Q4, all else
is status quo. If I were an analyst; microsoft told me
to do nothing to Q3 EPS forecast of 65c and revise my
Q4 up by 8c to 74c. So they will beat Q3 and report
may be 75 to 80c and then Q4 they will report 85 - 90c
for total FY 99 of 2.90 - 3.00.

If I believe that MSFT will go up by 25% by Jan, (at least) and I want to risk some of my money in Leaps or Calls, what would I do.

I do not want to have anything to do with anything that will expire in April-Aug, as the trial craze may still be going on...or at least the after effect. If they win, it will still be high by Dec, and if they lose, then it will have died down by then anyway.

Any suggestions.
