Ballmer's Microsoft Delivers Little Wealth to Shareholders

Since Steve Ballmer took over as CEO of Microsoft (MSFT) on January 13, 2000, Microsoft investors have had little to cheer about. The stock is down 37.42 percent from its January 13, 2000 close. And during Ballmer's tenure, of the possible 2,102,275 buy and sell combinations (based on daily close) 1,193,032 (56.75%) made money; the average gain was only 2.9 percent.

So for all of the millions of investments from short-term speculative trades to buy and hold for the long term, only a little over a half have made money. Microsoft, under Ballmer, has created little wealth for its investors.
