Yikes.. If buying QQQ is counted as "transacting with microsoft stock" then you could try finding a basket that didnt have microsoft. I'm not an expert in this stuff, but for example the Russell 2000 fits. It would be better if it was a tech/internet related basket. EDIT: here's a better idea. Just buy apple and/or half a dozen other big tech stocks that you like!
