- "I know that MSFT continues to be under institutional accumulation"

- I know that the baby boomers continue to sock away $10 bill+ in to equities every month

- And I know that every S&P 500-related; Tech-related; etc... mutual fund owns shares in MSFT

- therefore, I have to believe that more of them will continue buying shares of MSFT - provided MSFT continues to grow profitably - which it does

Taxman - remember MSFT makes about $350 mill a quarter on selling puts.

- they've never had a loss from doing this that I'm aware of

- why do you you suppose this is so?

- b/c it's a boon to MSFT - who pockets all the premiums & doesn't pay out a dime in insured losses
