Looks like Ballmer is going to be history soon. http://www.thestreet.com/story/11135000/1/4-of-ballmers-best-blunders-at-microsoft.html
Not necessarily. Even IF he poof, disappears, would it matter? Feeble rally. MSFT is a great shill. In the S&P 500. In the DJIA 30. In the NASDAQ 100. All weighted indices and MFST is a lot of weight. Dead weight. Masks carnage on down days and rotation. Lot of order flow. What? 27 million a day? Near churn. Transformed from a growth company to a utility long ago. Started out-sourcing support long ago. Sir, there is too much curry on lamb. What void(s) left to be filled on an O/S system? That leaves trinkets, baubles, and gadgets.
BTW I'm starting to wonder about Einhorn. Impressive Cornell credentials and compounded performance but.......... He's presently a partial owner in MSFT, BBY, and the Mets. WTF? Case study in size becoming an albatross?
