I'm sure the smart Mr. Ballmer has taken good care in managing his own personal finances.<g> I see his name has joined the two others of Microsoft heritage (Gates and Allen) who are noted by Forbes or some such rag as three of the top ten richest peoples of the world. Doubtful that even the biggest Kahuna effect on MSFT would drive the price low enough to impact his options such that repricing would be a factor. It takes a stock price close significantly below the options price and for long enough time to get a jetsetting Board of Directors to sit in a room and vote to reprice. And then on the following run up they could all become richer? The brass ring is their's already. How much more money do they need? All of it? That little piece of software that supports these windows of thought which we stare at day in and day out is capitalized at half a trillion dollars! That's some serious bread. Wish my software had a faint echo of that clout!
