Riding into the Sunset with Bill

Mr. Gates recently reduced his role at Microsoft, effectively beginning his ride into retirement--a life of philanthropy, apparently (and good for him).

And so, I thought it would be appropriate that I should, in part, ride along with him--selling my shares in Microsoft which I have held since 1993 . Perhaps holding so long was not one of my better judgments in view of the last few years of non-performance, but I'm more of a buy-and-hold kind of guy and Microsoft had treated me okay over the years.

So long Bill, and thanks for the 4-bagger.
