SFD -

Well so thats the answer so in that case is there any reason why anyone should stay in this stock either for thenext three years or alternatively until the stock has dropped another $28 or so ( which at the current daily rate of decline for MSFT will be more like three weeks rather than three years!).

Best regards,

L

Morgan, taxman, tech2000..I own 180 shares of this company, bought
at 78.5 about 3 weeks ago, I am debating buying another 200 at
77.5, I have read your posts and sincerly appreciate your input.
When is a good time for me to get more, seems we have gone no where
yet? Please express your views, do you think were headed below 75?
I also own IBM and have done quite well with it.
thanks.

Morgan, The outstanding put warrants have strike prices ranging from $59 to $65 per share and maturities ranging from 6 to 36 months

I had thought most of the put selling takes place at the start of July---new fiscal year (it does not appear to be the case). They may be picking stock price weakness to time the put selling. Too bad we can't get a breakdown of the price and expirations.

If this stock fell to 70, I can see an aggressive buy back strategy accompanied with announcements just like HP's Friday.
IMHO, there does not seem to be much downside at these prices ----75 or so is the lowest I can foresee. I bought more Friday at 77 1/2.
