Over at TechFlash this morning, Todd Bishop published a guest post by a disgruntled Microsoft stockholder about to attend his first stockholder meeting. The author, Michael McDonald, has reason to be disgruntled:
November 2000, I purchased 100,000 shares of MSFT at a split-adjusted, average price of $36 per share for a total cost of $3.6 million.
As one commenter noted, this is a “well-chosen” (and well written, I might add) guest post. However, from there, the commenter – Ted Howard – and I part ways. Specifically, I disagree with his xBox optimism and his thoughts on advertising as a business model savior.
