is a depressing snapshot of the economy. That’s a chart showing the
stock performance of Microsoft against GE from July 1998 (when I

    Buy low, sell high
    That’s pretty much all I can tell you. Options expiring meaning you have to buy them right now or lose them?

    So are you just picking random song names for your blog titles?

    Yeah - but when I accepted the lowest-salary job offer I had coming out of college, the prospect that the options would some day be worth more than they were then factored into that equation. Anybody who knows me knows I’m all about the bling - I can’t get jack off of 2 fiddy a share!
