Apple Insider – Influential hedge fund manager David Einhorn called Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer “the biggest overhang” on the company’s stock at an investment conference on Wednesday, saying he should step aside and “give someone else a chance.”
Einhorn serves as president of the Greenlight Capital hedge fund, which had roughly $7.9 billion in assets at the start of the year. He gained prominence in the spring of 2008 when he predicted the accounting troubles that would eventually lead to investment bank Lehman Brothers’ collapse.
