Time should prove that MSFT is not really an ideal growth stock anymore, and may be much worse. Competition is increasing under the radar for their core businesses of OS and Office Suite. Not good, because this time the competition is legit. Browser losing share to Apple, Firefox, and even Chrome. X-box losing to Wii. Zune losing to Apple. Live losing to Google. Cellphone OS losing to Apple, Android, and RIMM. Balance sheet getting riskier as they spend their cash. Microsoft is one of the world's greatest companies, but they are going to have to re-invent themselves...

In my opinion MSFT is continuing doing great and we will have to see this confirmed in the fall.
No reason just feelings.

BUY: Microsoft (nyse: MSFT)
Shares of Microsoft have been depressed
due primarily to the takeover attempt of
Yahoo!. However, now that the deal is off,
investors will begin to focus more on the
company's strong operating momentum. The
company has been making great strides in
boosting profitability of its ancillary businesses,
which will continue to help growth. I
think the tech sector represents one of the
best sectors to lead the market during the
next up-leg. Investors will continue to focus
on megacap stocks given the volatile market

Yes MSFT missed earnings a bit but, the selloff was over done. I bought some OCT $26 calls as I think we will get a good bounce in the coming months. All the Yahoo talk may end up being a distraction as I think they need to focus on their core business and look to find new technologies that can be future winners. Ad serving/search is not the solution for this company. Just make a BETTER Vista.

From the Blogosphere

I sold Nuance Communications -- here's why

Filed under: Microsoft (MSFT), International Business Machines (IBM), Financial Crisis

Alas, I had to say good-bye to an old friend Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN). This is a technology company that specializes in speech-recognition software and digital-document solutions, and it competes with the likes of IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). It's a cool business, although it grows by acquisition, so you do have to watch that part a bit (i.e., checking the GAAP vs. the non-GAAP numbers, cash flows, etc.). The 52-week high on the stock is $22.55; the 52-week low is $9.31. I reme

Are video games a defensive industry at this point?

Filed under: Microsoft (MSFT), Time Warner (TWX), Walt Disney (DIS), Sony Corp ADR (SNE), Electronic Arts (ERTS), Activision Inc (ATVI), Technology

There are some who say that video games will be just fine during the economic crisis. Of course, you have to consider who's spouting this idea when evaluating it. According to this article, gaming giants Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Sony (NYSE: SNE) believe that the upcoming holiday season won't be so tough on their PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. They agree with some pundits who think that people will look to drop several hundred dollars on...

Comparing Crashes: This One’s Worse Than ‘87
N/A

With today’s further decline - as I write this the Nasdaq Composite is now down another 86 points, or 5.2%, to 1,559 - the index has tumbled 45% since peaking at 2859 last Halloween. I think we can all agree that a 45% decline qualifies as a market crash, can’t we?

In fact, this decline is actually worse than the roughly 36% decline on the Nasdaq from peak to trough in 1987, but not nearly so bad as the 78% nightmare from 5048 on March 10, 2000 to 1114 on October 9, 2002.

Still, it is startling that the current crisis is now worse - considerably worse, in fact - than what happened in 1987. An
