Thanks for reporting the stock moves when rumors squeeze Shorts and the reverse when you debunk the rumors. All is fair in love and the Internet.

Although it should be worth a note that both Newspapers (Times and WSJ) have a problem with accuracy. Would Lou Grant have published those rumors?

Yahoo with it’s CEO problem is still supposed to post a profit for the foreseeable future. While MSFT loses money every day on their Internet “adventures”.

Maybe while you wait for the next rumor to appear you can calculate how much value MSFT’s stock has declined since Bill turned operations over to Steve.

In a recession smart CEO’s are supposed to prepare for the next recovery. You know, when Google and Apple resume kicking MSFT into history.
