Ballmer Sells Part of his Stake in Microsoft

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the taking-the-money-and-sticking-around dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Financial Times reports that Steve Ballmer has sold part of his MS shares (my early morning math isn't very good, it seems a shade under 10%). Short of cash? Parking tickets? Or the start of a strategy to get rid of it all without causing too much upset in one go? No idea, but speculation is sure to be with us for a while."

    Geez. The guy is just diversifying his portfolio. He is the least diverse of all the software billionaires or Buffett.

    Unfricking believable that this is actually a slashdot story.

    I mean, come one. Isn't it amazing enough that he mades $12 billion or whatever on MSFT? Now, the implication of this being on slashdot is that this smells of some sort of bad omen for MS. It's a little late for that given that HE HAS $12 BILLION WORTH OF STOCK!!! (insert Sam Kinison "oh! oh! OooooH!" here)
