Howdy Blue long tine pal-o-friend, so now agin we'uns C sum ribbits hoppin' outta MSFT dat shuds B stayin put an bettir git da net anda flashlite out deyll B hoppin rite inta da cookin pot an cryin' boutit later, yep. It jest wuzzint rite. An ahd B mitey disapointid 2C sum actshool dates uv aneedem Biggys bigblock sales jest rite B4 dis ting happint. Ef dere R den dat mite do sum reel damij. Me 2 as shareowner saying JUST STICK TO SOFTWARE, MSFT and boyOboy & did U ever give Ballmer a good Blast in his general direction LOL! Your point about the Big losing his job if he says something to make the Company look bad, does it still apply when that's what the Company wants him to say? So if Ballmer stays then I guess there's our answer. What gets me is gotta ask that old question "To What Purpose?" again. These Bigs with their mega-options....Fox In Charge Of The Henhouse Again when they talk about their stock so shouldn't ever mention it. Financial Guidance to investors or giving market hints isn't their business outside of the MSN Investor, and Co. got some nerve emailing shareowners a condescending tone from Up High. Bigs taking advantage of their position to quack or cover stocktrades while the Co. might want to devalue it or at least calm it down prior to spinoffs amidst a rally...dat ain't rite. Ain't the First Time that one's been pulled either, but this Ballmer mess is awful blatant especially with the thing with the Feds coming up for judgment about now. Shenanigans don't benefit the shareholders (I'm one too) and What Was Said Shouldn't Have Been Said by Anyone Responsible. The email they sent you (yep U know cybersleeze when U C it LOL) just piled more stupidity on it whether or not it was a real blunder or orchestrated. You're right Blue. It was wrong 2C Ballmer be Leader Of The Pack throwing dung at Techs getting into a good groove. And that's what it smells like too. Maybe they've compressed the hard drive a time too many ... making derisive comments about their own stock and sector....hey who do they think they are, US? That's OUR Privilege, Not Theirs!!!! "STICK WITH PAYING ATTENTION TO THE SOFTWARE PLEASE, MICROSOFT" like they should be doing, is what they should be doing. But I still do like MSFT the stock, looking forward to spinoffs, IMHO this will be shortly be a blip in the past rather than tumbling the sector. IMHO the codeword overvalued is getting real old... lots of good news for nets out there too especially in Businessweek...as so soon some Big Nets will be announcing nice earnings. Lately more so than formerly, those Naddering Nabobs of Negativity (quoting Spiro Agnew LOL remember that one?) so fond of whacking our technets to a rubble gotta all put in a bigger effort rowing together to move it down just a notch. Doubleplusgood 2C establishment of a low range edge Right About Here, better than we expected izzinit $;o) 909s, Joan
