Well, I'm not one of the very smart members but I'll comment briefly on Microsoft -- they're definitely poised for a huge move to the upside but given the fact that the company has recently made a bid for Yahoo, their stock won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
If the merger does go through this will be a great move for the company and I'd be a bull long term - if it doesn't go through the stock might take a bit of a hit in the short term but will definitely keep looking good over the long term.
As for PZE - it seems like the stock found its support level fairly quickly and might make a quick move back to 14. However, that's only a 15% move and it might not be worth the added risk. If it's already in your portfolio however, I wouldn't be a seller just yet. See if it moves back up first.
Hope that was helpful :)

rob smith feels the Microsoft merger with yahoo would be a good move and he feels it would be bullish and he would be bullish . every one is entitled to their opinions on that , so i would love to give mine . i fell it would not be a good move. i feel it would be actually a foolish move on Microsoft's point. the reason it would be foolish is that yahoo and Microsoft have 2 very different business models and ways of of executing those styles . this will definitely cause much and thereby i feel, cause problems business wise. it could actually hurt growth and ultimately hurt share price.
its like trying to mix apples and mushrooms. although separately , they might both be great , as a team, i don't think it will work . it leaves a bad taste in my mouth..
