Rude -- <<" holdings are from purchases he made over the years, mostly by going on margin on his existing MSFT position.">> LOLOLOL-- there will be many margin calls after today again,, doubtful Steve will be one of those... Agreed,, he must have been speaking of Paul-- and that is a NON-event..

My apologies for not citing a link. I thought this was breaking news since I heard it on ZDNet's "On Computers" radio show where the broadcaster spent a full fifteen minutes ranting about what he would do with 3.8 billion. I listened carefully and he distinctly said Steve Ballmer and lauded the "perfect timing" on selling the stock before the crash. I can only speculate that the braodcaster did their homework since this is a world-syndicated broadcast. You are correct that Paul Allen is more likely to sell shares, but he usually cashes in only a few hundred million at a time. The echo of 3.8 billion was distinct. Anyone out there have any news? I admit I cannot find any links with this info, not even on ZDNet.com. -Bill_H
