That makes it 50 billion $ overpriced.

If the damn thing has never made 1 cent of profits, how the hell is it valued at 50 billion $?

 

I think alot of this cloud crap is highly overrated.

I think MS is better off not tossing all that cash out the window.

Its a cloud company, but yeah its overhyped. Amazon doesn't make money either, yet its worth 200 billion. I don't know why investors put their money into these companies, especially since they don't make money; and it can get quite risky.

Amazon does make money but it reinvests it contantly so it stays at the top it is a retailer with low margins after all.
