"Microsoft: What do you want to buy today" No, it is not a new MSN ad.<g> A little bit of information on MSFT's buying spree. quote.bloomberg.com

Lehman Bros raised its price target from $92 to $110 as analyst feels 25% correction of MSFT is over and presents a good buy opportunity; maintained "buy" rating.

t2k, Morgan is very high and PFE and he is probably right on with his call. He has a very keen sense or he's just great at rewriting history! <ggg> Just kidding, Morgan. Anyway, I do not see MSFT trading below 76. If it happens, it's a gift. The trial is irrelevant. MSFT will propel the tech/internet sector northwards from here. You can smell it. I know I can. I have been selling puts on MSFT, CNET and buying shares of SFE. I am that confident. I am really not in the mood to have 2000 and 6000 shares of MSFT and CNET, respectively, put to me in three weeks. But I am that confident. If I am wrong, I'll spend the money and wait patiently. I just don't see the downside from here, however. Meeker should be egged in public. The whole game is despicable. Teflon

T2 Thanks for the advise, I ended up going with the Jan2002, strike 110 and got it at the bottom of the day at 14. Ironic that 14 is more than I paid for actual shares in my IRA and cash account when I bought my core holding in 1995,split adjusted of course. I bought during the heyday of the Windows 95 release and immediately took a 17% decline in price. I have learned to never sell and buy more on the pullbacks. This is my first try with options. The 2 1/2 year time frame is what finally convinced me to try them. Any further pullbacks and I'll buy more. JMO don't wait to long to make your move here. Once again thanks.
