BigB made the case that Yahoo's sales manager's sale of stock was worrysome. BigB says Ballmer has never sold a share of Microsoft, and that somehow shows that a sales head selling vested Yahoo shares is a bad thing. Then it was since 1990. Of course Ballmer has sold Microsoft shares. He's worth near $10 billion from Microsoft; he's at the top in the Forbes 400. If he never sold any, where did he get the money to buy stock again in 1990? Do you think he's carrying a mortgage? Ballmer's source of wealth is Microsoft stock, not his salary. I'm sure BigB is a great straight guy, but he's posted on SI for two days. He made the point. Keep your objectivity, R.D. Sorry to be so frank, BigB.
