Yeah, I haven't changed anything.
Inez, my stock brokeress, agrees Microsoft's going nowhere, but I haven't needed to sell anything yet. It's only 1.6% of assets and my paper loss is a whopping $323 so I'm not giving it much thought right now.
More dear to my thoughts is that years ago when Inez set up this portfolio for my mother she packed it with major oil companies and I understand they're doing OK right now.

Re: Buy a Hummer!
I've got it beat on the guzzling front. I get 9-10 mpg with the motor home.

Well, that's driving a max 62 mph.
Wind resistance is a major factor.

He just doesn't take as many rest stops
Particularly not the ones with the guy with flashing lights behind him. :-)

He also has...
Cruise Control.
He can set cruise control, then get up and goto the bathroom in his RV's toilet. No pit-stop needed.
Of course other things *may* need to be addressed when using traditional Cruise Control.

Cruise Control is safest when used while at a full stop

There's no hurry, I'm on a permanent vacation! :)
I did have to go 80 to find a merge hole in rush hour traffic into the right lane so I could then take an exit on some expressway in San Antonio. There appeared to be a temporary shortage of courtesy in that part of Texas at the time.
