To top it off, today we will be in position to control 1,000 shares of MSFT for very little premium, as we go all the way out until January (MSQAJ), to buy the $25 strike. I will place a limit order at $5.20 or better, a good-till-canceled order. This is one of the best opportunities I have seen this year -- at yesterday's $29.40 close, the stock has been meandering for the past six months, and it has been hard hit in the past few days of trading.
The Game of Life
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Memories are preserved in a snapshot, transforming intangible thoughts into one concrete photograph. Photo albums fill the bookcases in my living room, each photo representing a moment in time, revealing layers of nostalgia.
The click-click of a camera suddenly becomes a series of images weaved together to retell a story, with every detail as lucid as the moment in which the photos were captured.
I often find that the pictures with the most meaning are not those portraying my wedding day or my World Series victory, not to say that these moments weren't some of the most important times in my life.
However, the pictures that are most encapsulating are those that capture the power of a moment that has no predetermined significance. When you capture the expression of determination in a slide into second base, now that's a photograph worth more than a thousand words.
