>>What we are discussing here is the principle, i.e "free market force " vs " Artificial manipulation of the market " , "The job function of the corp CEO", Is it right for a Corp CEO to make a public announcement like " The valuation of our company and the whole Hi Tech market is over valued" ...etc. I do not think it is right in a free market environment for a corp CEO to make such a public announcement , whether he said Microsoft is over or under valued, because , that is not his jub function.<<

Ed, I think that many of us agree with your assessment. Yes Microsoft does seems to contradict its own proposed philosophy by attempting to rig or control the stock price. I was shocked when the stock broke out above 95, Ballmer made those comments to bring it down. I do not think that this infamous day regarding Ballmer is going to go away anytime soon without there being some backlash.I just wonder how much longer his career with Microsoft will continue??
