since when is blunt honesty unethical? the dishonesty of big brokerages getting rich beyond words by pumping these techies and internets to dangerously bloated heights is what I view as unethical. The only thing that gets people mad at Ballmer is he is messing with the Bull Bonanza,that is driven by greed and he can see where it is leading if this madness doesn't cease. I myself have made money on this Bull,but I pulled out in July. The market needs desperately to settle and stabilize,if it again re-heats and runs at this time,it won't correct,it will CRASH. Ballmer completed his statement by suggesting that if this frenzy continues he sees the entire US economy in danger. We have an A-D line that gets worse and worse but one IPO after another comes out,with several simply being run up to ridiculous levels,why,so the underwriters can bloat themselves somemore,it is called piggism, this is the biggest boondoggle in history in my opinion.Max90

Frank - RE: What do you think would happen to the stock market if what Ballmer did became a trend for other ceo's of major corporation fo follow. This is a pretty amazing statement - what would happen if CEOs started just telling the truth about what they think? My GOD!! Chaos!! We certainly don't need any honesty from CEOs... they should be like politicians, figure out what most people want to hear and just say that. Oh, I forgot - CEOs don't have to get elected.
