Technology Stocks : How high will Microsoft fly? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

If anyone got people's life savings - to the tune of $200B - it is Bill Clinton and Janet Reno, not Steve Balmer and/or Bill Gates.

If you own any tech stocks, watch out. The hi-tech industry has been thriving not because of the government interference, but due to the lack of thereof. The US vs. Microsoft sets a dangerous precedent (pls spare us from comparisons with AT&T). Btw, if you want to know what our caring government does to stock P/E's, just look at auto and health care stocks.

I am looking forward to watching jack booted FBI stormtroopers armed with submachine guns bust into the Microsoft HQ in the name of consumer protection:).

PTB

P.S. Long and buying.

Bill - Ballmer didn't sell anything. Why do you post this crap without doing at least a little research?? Ballmer has not had a single insider trade of ANY TYPE going back more than a year. Perhaps you are confusing him with Paul Allen... Ballmer is one of the few MSFT executives who has actually bought MSFT stock - nearly half of his current holdings are from purchases he made over the years, mostly by going on margin on his existing MSFT position.
