Based on historic valuations the market IS overvalued. It's not necessarily relevant information. If you know a way to make money off of this info, please tell us.

JohnD- Ballmer is the officer of a publically traded company... Greenspan and Buffet are not and so are not bound by the responsiblities or mission of the corporation. I try to figure out the reason Ballmer these comments, and any reason would have to logically point to an increase in shareholder value. Because this is part of the mission of Microsoft. As of now, his comments only appeared to destroy shareholder value. Microsoft has made comments regarding their performance in the past and even discouraging comments. But this was done as part of their responsibility to guide analysts expectations. Ballmers comments today do not fit fulfill any corporate responsibility. I ask anybody to explain how the statements he made today fulfilled Microsoft Corporations responsibility to increase shareholder value and not actively seek to destroy it. His comments about anything false is bad is another matter entirely. Just my opinion. Jon :)
