RE: Ballmer

I think the SEC should look into Ballmer to see if he didn't call his broker immediately after his comments to pick up some bargain basement shares.

His comments definitely impacted the markets and I think it's a shame. The info age has made it so the public reacts en masse to the babblings of any idiot with a public forum upon which to speak.

He probably cost Gates and Paul Allen a few billion in paper stock losses today.

If I were a M$FT shareholder I'd be doubly miffed that one of my Execs said we were overvalued. What is he hoping to accomplish? If you feel that way, keep your mouth shut and let the market hash it out. Comments from someone in that position that is so close to the subject can be blown out of proportion quickly.
