John,

>>Whoever makes a big deal of this has no perspective of why a person invests and why they sell.

Bill and Paul sold $4 billion in stock in the last twelve months, essentially more than MSFT's earnings over the same period. There's more money in selling stock than holding it for them. Basically, investor's put $4 billion in for an earnings return of maybe $50 million. The math is pretty straight-forward.

Cheers,

Norm
