Good job MS



So it is back to where it was last year. Microsoft is very large and successful company, but since 2001 it has been roughly in this same range of price (excluding 2008/2009 when everyone took a hit. If it hits 40 then I'll be impressed and curious. For now it is a stable mature stock with a dependable increasing dividend, nothing wrong with that.

which part of highest in 5 years dont you get?


The stock is at 33 a share, last year it was at 32 and change.  Is it a five year high? Yes. Is it a huge difference from numbers achieved within those five years? Not really.  It is good news, but it is not as if there has been massive growth over past five years.  I did say there was nothing wrong with a steady stock. I'd suggest someone with long term conservative aims to look into MSFT as it is dependable.  Just don't expect it to rocket up into 40s or 50s over next few years.

I dont think their clients will be too happy.

Analysts don't issue buy/sell ratings to help people who see them on the internet buy or sell. That's not even the point of a stock analyst. They give those ratings away for free because they want to influence the market with it to make money for their paying clients.

If I could be bothered to gamble on the stock market I'd short MS. I don't see how their market position could improve.
