    Nice trend but close to the supply line of the uptrend channel and it had effort versus result days on Thursday July 20th and Friday July 21st (a lot of volume came into the market without much if any upward progress).

    Also, the $1-box by 3-box-reversal Point & Figure indicates that the stepping stone cause is probably used up....it needs to build more cause.

    I'm not surprised. That field is simply uncontested. Anyone who've dealt with any form of accounting knows that. There's no real alternative to Excel or Word.

    I think this drops back to the 72s this week. I'm not a bear either. Bullish long term. Will load up more soon.

    Why is this Microsoft not a $100.00 stock yet especially in this market? Appears very undervalued still

    My prediction. MSFT will double over the next year and either it's a great investment and a safe way to store money.

    Sathya Nathella is one of the best CEOs. As long as Sathya Nathella is the CEO I won't sell Microsoft. Check out Microsoft earnings infograph here http://alphastreet.com/b87f9975

    MSFT declined 5% in yesterday’s trading, to below $90 per share. Is this a good buying opportunity?

    MSFT was affected by the trade war?

    The recent increase in the MSFT's margins has resulted from the adoption of Azure, Microsoft’s public cloud, more profitable channel distribution, and an ever-growing customer base. The hope is that Microsoft will have a $50 Billion EBIT by mid-2019.

    The firm anticipates doubling of the public cloud market to $230B by 2020. Morgan Stanley thinks Microsoft will hit a $1 Trillion market cap in the upcoming year.

    Such a rally over the course of this and next year would make MSFT go from the third largest public enterprise (only Apple and Alphabet and larger judging by market capitalization) to the largest one.

    Per Finstead Research, Microsoft has an average price target of almost $104. Its price upside is almost 14%.

    How does Github make money that makes it worth that much?

    Last month Microsoft announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase GitHub for $7.5 billion, financed entirely by Microsoft stock.
    Although this deal is roughly one fourth the size of Microsoft’s 2016 acquisition of LinkedIn, GitHub will provide unique opportunities for Microsoft Azure customers. Management expects GitHub to be accretive to adjusted operating income in fiscal 2020.

    Microsoft Closes In on Apple As World’s Largest Company
    Nov 27, 2018

    Below is a chart comparing the market caps of Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) going back to 1986. While Microsoft (MSFT) dominated Apple (AAPL) during the 80s and 90s, Steve Jobs finally one-upped Bill Gates with the release of the iPod and then the iPhone in the mid-2000s.

    After peaking in market cap at the highs of the Dot Com bubble in 2000, MSFT began a slow drift lower in size before finally putting in a bottom at the lows of the Financial Crisis. At the same time, Apple saw its market cap skyrocket higher and higher as the iPhone took over the world. While MSFT began to see a pick-up in market cap again in the early 2010s, it couldn’t keep up with Apple.

    Over the last few years, however, Microsoft has turned into a Tech juggernaut again as its Windows 365 “cloud subscription” model has worked to perfection. You can see in the chart that MSFT’s market cap has been rising nearly as quickly as Apple’s market cap since 2016.

    Below is a look at the spread between the two market caps going back to 1986. While Apple maintained a healthy lead in size over the past few years, the company’s recent swan dive has left it only marginally larger than Microsoft. As of this morning, Apple’s market cap stands at $821 billion, while Microsoft is worth $816 billion!

    Microsoft (MSFT) Back on Top — Largest Companies in the S&P 500
    Nov 28, 2018

    As of early afternoon trading today, Microsoft (MSFT) has moved back into the lead. Below is a table showing the 35 largest companies in the S&P 500.

    Microsoft (MSFT) sits at #1 with a market cap of $856.5 billion, followed closely by Apple (AAPL) at $850.6 billion. Amazon.com (AMZN) isn’t far behind in third place with a market cap of $804.1 billion, while Alphabet (GOOGL) ranks fourth at $746.7 billion. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/B) rounds out the top five at $531.4 billion.

    Earlier in the year, Facebook (FB) ranked in the top five with a market cap above $500 billion, but the company has lost 23.7% year-to-date at this point, leaving it in 7th place behind Johnson & Johnson (JNJ).

    JP Morgan (JPM), Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Walmart (WMT) rank 8th through 10th.

    One name conspicuously absent from the list of largest companies is General Electric (GE). At a share price of just $7.60, GE’s market cap has fallen all the way down to $66 billion. As recently as October 8th, the stock had a market cap of $120 billion, but a 44% decline since then has wiped out nearly half of its value. Pretty remarkable.
