too long verbiage to countertroll it all, but let me address smartphone shares. the bat's shits bought Nokia (or at least significant part of it). according to "the register": http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/27/ballmers_billion_dollar_blunders/ Ballmer's billion-dollar blunders: When he gambled Microsoft's money and lost Nokia is the biggest write-off yet, but it wasn't the first <quote> It's worth revisiting this one, because it's a doozy. Microsoft paid $7.1bn to gobble Nokia's former Devices and Services business in April 2014. Less than a year and a half later, it would write down $8.44bn in a single quarter, with almost all of the charges related to the Nokia deal. </quote>
