Skating to where the puck is going

[Grieve]

I assume y'all heard Ballmer's leaving MS. Did that effect the stock prices any?

The stock jumped 7.2% on Friday. I actually bought Sept $33 puts at the height of it, since I don't think this makes MSFT's problems (plunging PC sales, failure in phone/tablet space) any better. Plus Ballmer is still there for a year. Maybe they think Gates will come back to save the day, but I don't see it.

As for TSLA, backing up what I was saying about investing in Elon Musk more so than the cars, the director of Iron Man said that he based Tony Stark on Musk for Iron Man 1...and now Musk has made real the computer tech that Tony Stark used in the movie...
