LE, you are absolutely wrong again. From what source, other than a contrarian article are you pulling this info from? Have you ever been in the field in any of the specialties that IT involves? I have. Have you ever talked to anyone with extensive experience in the industry? I have. And the conclusion that you are drawing is misleading. 1)Not everyone wants to go to Microsoft to work. There are factors such as independence, creative control, etc. that would lead many to go to smaller co's in the industry, sometimes with even a larger salary. 2)You cannot import IT workers as low salary slaves into this country. I have friends that are on sponsored visa's for IT from India and UK that makes some salaries look like chump change. One in particular, came into this country and now travels around every few months from contract to contract through a temp service, and he still makes an incredible salary, especially since his specialty is in MFC. 3)Most domestic companies seeking to save money in the industry aren't importing workers, most are development companies or companies in need of coding that export the work via satellite to code shops in India and the like. 4)Some of the companies that are taking advantage of the IT shortage also have some of the higher valuations. Regarding the $80 figure, you were the one that posted your entry at .32, your exit at .31, and boasted that you would sell at the opening bell, and the largest block that morning was for 3700 shares. Which part were you lying about? Regarding your link about the IT shortage, I can give you dozens and dozens that say the opposite thing, as well as salary survey reports that show how the salaries have been on a steady increase. Regarding personal attacks, I'll only attack you and Andrew H. and others who bash the company with misleading or baseless information on a consistent basis. 2 wrongs don't make a right, but sometimes it's too tempting. Jin.
