Geez...two imbeciles!!.........Abelson agrees with Ballmer's comments-Barron's NEW YORK, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp.(NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) President Steve Ballmer's recent reprimand of the media for its feeding of the technology ''gold rush'' frenzy is ''right on the money,'' according to Alan Abelson's ''Up and Down Wall Street'' column in Barron's September 27 issue. On September 23, Ballmer told a gathering of business editors and writers that valuations on technology stocks have reached ''absurd'' levels. His comments played a hand in rattling U.S. stocks, with the Dow falling 205 points and the Nasdaq posting its fourth-largest point loss of 108.33 last Thursday following the comments. In his column Abelson noted the recent press attention given to celebrating those who have become rich thanks to the technology gold rush.
