You're obviously a fan of Ballmer but not one of the market nor company fundamentals. "If the market were to drop 30%" target companies would also be cheaper. - Of course it would, but that's not the point... "no longer consider[ed]...a cutting-edge place to work" because ballmer said stock price too high? - It's well documented that key employees like CTO Myhrvold had left MSFT in the past year. And new employees would rather join a dynamic start up for something more challenging and potentially more lucrative.. like a RHAT or PHCM. The WSJ or any reputable publications will tell you this.... "Guess where the stock price needs to go" earnings will drive the stock--not ballmer's words. -Again, you completely missed the point. "With Billions in MSFT paper profit" guess he's not as dumb as people say. - You don't have to be smart to win powerball. "massive buyings of MSFT long-dated puts" how do you know that? -If you've ever worked on a trading desk, you'll hear things you'll never see on cnbc. This was also reported by TSCM, but you're probably too busy to subscribe. "Address: Investor Relations Department" at $500 per attorney hour?--get serious. - If you own 100 shares, this might seem like alot.
