Spring Break -MSFT

I am buying 100 shares of Microsoft (MSFT) because I believe that the company's stocks will continue to increase in the future. The income growth of the company has increased to 59.6% annually and the price of the stock seems to stay at a steady rate. The range between the daily high and the daily low is relatively small, which means that the shares do not have drastic changes in their value and the company is not in danger of losing profit. To try and become more successful, Microsoft has offered to buy Yahoo in hopes of being on a more leveled competitive field with Google, who has been currently winning the online services against Microsoft. Based on this information that I received in the article, found on moneycentral.msn.com by Charley Blaine and Elizabeth Strott, "Microsoft Offers to buy Yahoo", I believe that the company will be able to be more successful in winning their online battle with Google. This union between the two companies will help to make them a more formidable competitor to Google and would make the odds more even.

  1. I researched this stock just now and though it is down .22%, I agree with your comment about how they do not have a high fluctuation rate. Microsoft is also offering their blog for a cheaper price ($30.79) compared to Google ($556). I would also choose to buy this stock as it has been gradually increasing in the prices and if I buy it today, I can make a profit off of it in the long run.
