Call your stock broker...

Have him buy you stock symbol MSFT. You might want to wait a week unless you can get the order in VERY early tomorrow the 21st.

Keep track of their shareholder meetings and votes.

Sell at the end of the year.

Short term: yes. Long term: no. Thank you.

It's all over the place: http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/040720/tech_microsoft_cash_8.html

I already put my order in with a limit of 32.59. I hope it gets in before it jumps to the mid 30s. Thursday I want to dump it, make a quick buck, and then put another 60 day limit on it around 30. I can profit, plus be set to grab the $3 extra dividend.
