Twitter Jumps After Steve Ballmer Confirms He Bought 4% Stake
When @Steven_Ballmer tweeted last night about acquiring a 4% stake in TWTR, many thought he was either hacked or the account was bogus. It appears, given Bloomberg headlines that this has been confirmed. A 4% stake makes him a bigger holder than Jack Dorsey who owns 3.2%.

The initial tweet...
Good job @twitter,@twittermoments innovation, @jack Ceo, leaner, more focused. Glad I bought 4% past few months. Like @alwaleedbinT move too
— Steve Ballmer (@Steven_Ballmer) October 16, 2015
And Bloomberg appears to confirm at 1132ET:
- *STEVE BALLMER SAYS HE OWNS 4% STAKE IN TWITTER
- *STEVE BALLMER COMMENTS IN E-MAIL TO BLOOMBERG NEWS
- Steve Ballmer confirms in e-mail to Bloomberg News that he owns a 4% stake in Twitter.
The result...
Don't get too excited though...

Developers Developers Developers Developers....
Guarantee that Balmer won't be tweeting that he just sold Twitter but is anyone watching?
Twitter?
#NoGracias
This is how Jewish monies are moved around.
Ballmer (Jew) to Biz Stone (what kind of name is that anyways) Jewish....
Keeping the game alive, all theae made men in tech, playing 3 card monte.... pretty disgustingly open about the bergs, steins and now Stones...
SillyCON Valley is run by the Establishment...Fucking disgusting...did I already say that? Fucking disgusting....
This is the kiss of death for Twitter.
Exactly! What a great short bounce. Why would anyone buy anything Ballmer bought? He has to be the biggest and most undeserving idiot of all time! Lucky wanker in the right lace at the right time sticking with Gates. Ffs.
Fuckers Fuckers Fuckers

I would not take a steve ballmer buy as guaranteed success
Oh isn't that special? Steve is trying to be Carl Icahn. What a douche.
Twitter: Windows Millenium Edition!
Twitter needs some Clippy.
Same guy that wanted to buy Yahoo? meh
Yay! Some asshole made a boneheaded move! Everyone pile in!
Who the fuck is following what Steve Ballmer is doing? Does he have a Twitter rap?

Steve Ballmer helped Microsoft ride into the sunset.
So many failures under him. Pretty much no innovation.
Now the Indians are in control. An Indian company will probably take over Microsoft.
Yeah but...
The difference is Ballmer sweats a lot but more than likely wears deordorant. The Kuldeeps on the other hand...
Ballmer Funk...
Crawl faster. [/Newt]
Explain /newt please. Thanks you.
It's the "Newt" eCONoME. lulz
It's the "Aliens" eCONoME.
theme friday? i dunno, make something up.
Riiiiippplee...
Steve Ballmer? Who was that again? Not heard from him in a long time.
What a toss twat.
On noes. Steve Ballmer? Cannot wait for Zuckerberg counter offer to consolidate a worthless social media platform.
Give it too me baby, I swallow. Dogs, cats, sheep, goats, horses, and camels are welcomed
Someone beat me to Ballmer Rap. I yield.
Given his recent business record the share price of Twitter should rather fall than rise..
Better question is who did Ballmer buy it FROM?
Maybe we'll find the real winner......
Why buy because that dipshit bought? Look what he did to MSFT stock price under his tenure. Sell the fucking dumb-ass TWTR.
Twitter looks like a great buy. P/E: NA Div: NA. Dorsey laid off 8% of the workforce. Most importantly Donald Trump Tweets. Like most people I use Twitter 24/7. I will sell my useless G & S and buy Twitter. Share price will skyrocket to the moon!
Sarc!
SELL ALL RALLIES
I thought you should run away with anything he touches.
