OLYMPIA, Wash. - A pastor who threatened a national boycott against Microsoft and other major companies for supporting a gay civil rights bill is now urging people to buy up the companies' stock and dump it to drive prices down.

Rev. Ken Hutcherson, pastor of Antioch Bible Church in the Seattle suburb of Redmond, says he wants to use the stock market to make a political point.

But one market expert laughed at the idea. "The chances of him being successful with that are slim to none," said Hans Olsen, chief investment officer at Bingham Legg Advisers.

Hutcherson told The Associated Press last week he was calling for a boycott of the companies, but said Tuesday that the stock-dumping plan, which calls on people to sell the companies' shares on May 1, had been his strategy all along.

"You got to find out how you affect a company," Hutcherson said, conceding that it would be hard to get people to shun products from companies that dominate the marketplace as Microsoft and Boeing do.

"For me to ask people not to buy their product would be stupid," said Hutcherson, whose community is also home to the software company's headquarters. Instead, he wants his supporters to buy one or two shares over the next few months.

"All of us get together on the same day and sell our stock, just run it in the ground," Hutcherson said. "The only way you can deal with these companies is affect their stock."
