Get-Rich Tip: Speak the truth. Steve Ballmer decided honesty was the best policy Thursday, when the Microsoft president boldly told a conference of business editors and writers, "There is such an overvaluation of technology stocks, it is absurd ... I could put our own company and others in that category." And don't tell me he thought the audience of journalists wouldn't quote him. Ballmer continued by saying that Microsoft's stock price should be "less." His words sent tech stocks into a spiral and his company's shares down 5 percent by day's end. At least he has his integrity. upside.com So far the good news, the bad news is she probably get paid for her job. Microsoft, Balmer, integrity. Have a reality-pill. They are in deep shit, they know it so Steve decided to be integer. Get real. Have no problems when someone don't understand it. But please don't write stories about it. BTW I see a job-oppurtunity for you at Upside Today. Anyhow, have a nice weekend, Paul

>>The bottom line to all this discussion regarding Balmer's recent >>comments is that MSFT will resort to any tactic, no matter how >>unscrupulous, to achieve its corporate objectives lml, ooohhhhh, just.............dismount. A big part of stock investing, and life, for that matter requires a certain ability to discern reality. Remember, "For A Few Good Men" where Jack Nicholson said, " You want the truth, you can't handle the truth." Anyway, you don't have to believe Steve, listen to JJCramer, at the G-Sachs London confab.. He made an absolutely brilliant speech on the subject: [I don't THINK Jim is just another MS lackee, like the rest of "them" :)] fnews.yahoo.com if you can't clic it, let me know I will cut and paste it to a post.
