See http://feeltiptop.com/Eric Schmidt/.

Steve Ballmer (microsoft media ceo cannes steve video person talk ad stanford seminar) is 15% Tips & 13% Pits. See http://feeltiptop.com/Steve Ballmer/.

The sentiment gleamed through TipTop seems to parallel their perspective on the economy:)

The economy is more personal targeting a specific group of people – people who took a steady paycheck with no hustle.

Schmidt comments about "bouncing back" has no substance to it. Many people say this "coming back" but this is the first time in human history that middle class jobs are able to be outsourced to another country.

Ballmer is more accurate – we are in a reset. Things are cheaper, valuations and prospects are more realistic and opportunities are now wider thanks to emerging nations like BRIC. If you knew how to make paper in good times or bad times, then right now is the best time to dive in.

I can't think of a single reason to trust either one of them on that topic.

Prognostication doesn't seem to be Ballmer's specialty.
