Balmer selling out Microsoft shares
Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer sells Microsoft stock in the amount of $1.34 Billion, according to the Wall street Journal. I guess Linux is doing well after all! Balmer is a business man, so he will be selling while the stocks still are worth something.
It is always interesting when the CEO of a company buys or sells. You buy the stocks you believe in and you sell the ones you do not believe to make a profit.
In general it is a good idea to follow the leaders example since he obviously has a lot of information. On the other hand it could just be the need for some personal cash.
