Microsoft Shareholder Discontentment: Is This a Case of the Fallback of Generosity Coming True?

Posted by HCN on Wednesday, October 2, 2013
A story was published by Reuters late last night, discussing that there are 3 shareholders vis-a-vis investors discontent with the stake Bill Gates has respective to Microsoft.  In simplified words, three investors are lobbying the board to pressure the Chairman to 'step down'.  Interpretations of the article, is that those 3 lobbying investors pursuing their want have a perceived view, that changes conforming to their wish is going to loosen constraints that they feel is inhibiting growth of other aspects of Microsoft.

Amid all the challenges the U.S. government is having in the area of finance, concerns about import imbalances respective to the production and sales of U.S. products, now there are folks that want to take aim at Bill Gates of Microsoft, and dismantle his stake in an organization he is credited for founding.

Going back to the ABCs, the basic building blocks of a new business that just got started, why in some cases is it not prudent to sell 90% of a company that is a year old and comprised of a team of 3 or 4, and only generating 30,000 a year?  The answer is, chances are, the modest income that you have, you might lose when that 90% starts challenging you, they want things their way, which might not be wisest for the company either, as you are the one with the strongest command, knowledge, and understanding of your own business concept.
