Actually, that is not the case. He is still the eighth biggest individual MS stockholder:

Elop (Stephen A)
Shares: 130,026
Estimated Value of Shares: 3.18 M US$
But:

That is common knowledge. However, Finnish and EU law does not allow him to simply swap shares when he is/was so deep involved in both companies, there are legalities involved, and it take some time. (To be honest I thought it was done by now).

Don't reply in a way that makes you look foolish. As I clearly elaborated, I'm not seeking some nebulous anecdotal "common knowledge." I was seeking some reference so that if someone were to ask me about it, I can state incontestable evidence to prove said statements.
Thank you! That's PRECISELY the type of evidence I'm looking for. You, sir, are an asset to this forum.

First of all he is Canadian, and corporate governance is immune to nationalism. All corporations have well ironed rules when it comes to execs changing jobs. It has nothing to do with country of origin.

What if wp7 strategy fails?
Here’s what Elop said in an interview with CNBC’s Bill Griffeth:
So Elop does not have a Plan B, I hope thats just ceo babble, otherwise I'm worried about the future of nokia.
Here’s what Elop said in an interview with CNBC’s Bill Griffeth:
Griffeth: Here’s the question I have, Mr. Elop. As you transition from the Symbian platform – the operating system you’ve had for so many years there – to the Windows operating system, you are already scaling back research and development. Trying to cut costs as you make this transition. But you’re making the transition to an operating system that’s been used for handsets for ten years and has failed to gain traction at this point against the likes of an Apple or Android. I guess my first question to is, you know what if it doesn’t gain traction? These new Windows phones that you’re going to bring to market later this year? You’re already abandoning Symbian for down the road? What’s Plan B if this doesn’t work?
Elop: Plan B is to make sure that Plan A is very successful. The critical ingredient for success are there, consumers are saying the Windows brand operating system is very good. Better in terms of their satisfaction than the competing platforms, but Microsoft hasn’t had a partner doing its best work for Windows Phone. That’s the commitment Nokia made through this processor. By bringing together our hardware, software and services assets with the strengths that Microsoft brings, we have a formula we believe will drive great success.

And there's never a file in a drawer marked "Plan B" anyway.

Nokia's slogan shouldn't be the pedo-palmgrabbing image with the slogan, "Connecting People"... It should be one hand open pleadingly with another hand giving the middle finger and the more apt slogan, "Potential Unrealized." --DR
