Good joke: That's right, Mr Bill made a deal with you-know-who, and was able to yet a copy a January 1999 Barron's. Imagine that! Any way, Mr Bill was shocked at what he saw. His Microsoft was not even traded on the NASDAQ any more. He found it on the Bulletin Board, and to his dismay, it had turned into a penny stock. Mr Bill said, "well it's a damn good thing I got this Barron's from the Devil". Mr Bill also seen that Amazon hit a new 52 week high at $500,000 per share. "Well, thank god I made that deal with the Devil, now I can save my nest egg from a terrible fate". So Bill Gates sold all of his Microsoft, and put all his money into Amazon. He even sold his cars, homes, jets. Well, you know what happenedl? That's right Microsoft hit a new 52 week high in January, and Amazon collapsed and became a penny stock on the Bulletin Board. Mr Gates was bankrupt, and he was furious with the Devil. He said, "now look here Devil, you gave me this bogus Barron's and none of the prices are right". "Oh", said the Devil," those prices are correct, they are the pro forma numbers"!
