This was no less outrageous than Greenspan making comments about the market leve. I e-mailed. His head should roll!!!! I guess he made his billions and now can be smug.

Frank- Ballmer fired.. Hi Frank, With all due respect, having Ballmer fired would only add oil to the fire. Just my opinion. Jon :)

Hilarious!! You can't make this stuff up. So many greed-crazed people out there. God help the man who "causes" the next stock market crash.

Whoa, I have another to put in you black list, the Economist Magazine. economist.com I have been your crusade against GreenSpam, and now against Steve Ballmer (possibly the Economist). I have a better idea for you, take your battle to the US congress. Ask them, err, demand them to do the following: 1. Issue a gag order to stop talking anything negative about stocks by anybody. After all, that's what they have been following - in the footsteps of our beloved President. 1a. If any one violates no. 1 above, they should be imprisoned for 2 years and barred from investing for 2 years. 1b. If an international figure/rag violates rule 1, ban that person or rag in US. 2. Ban foreigners from taking their money out of US assets, even if they think that US markets are over valued (thinking is allowed, expressing is not!) 3. On a rotation basis, big investment bankers should be made incharge of the treasury and the Federal Reserve since they have the best interests of the public in mind. 4. Ban short selling or allow short selling only under a condition that shorts should not make money if they open a short position. 4a. Death to short-sellers who violate this rule and make money. -vbg-

Someone said that the emperor is not wearing any clothes, and the kingdom is shocked. Didn't he just state the obvious?

If Balmer's mouthing off actually caused the sell-off, the sell-off was itself evidence that Balmer was quite correct in his opinion that tech stocks were overvalued. I buy and hold selected tech stocks because I believe they will increase in price over the next few years. It is times like the present that I particularly like to buy such stocks. I had no plans to sell any I own, and I am not sure that they have gone down all they will. I think the very large effect of Balmer's comments is attributable to his being a conehead.
