[Am-info] MSFT stock - last 4 years

[John J. Urbaniak]

MSFT closed down again today.  The stock is having trouble staying above
$50.

I'm not a technical expert, but I know that one technique is to draw
lines connecting recent highs and recent lows for a stock.  In MSFT's
case, the highs are trending lower and the lows are trending lower.
This is an indicator of further drops to follow.

One more cheery note for MSFT shareholders - except for one week around
January 1, 2001, anyone who bought MSFT in the *last four years* and has
held it has lost money.  And those who bought in Jan, 2001 have only
made about 5 bucks in almost 2 years

Gates can see this.  That's why he's dumping his Microsoft holdings and
buying Pfizer, Home Depot, etc.

To paraphrase:

"Microsoft - how much do you want to lose today?"

 - or -

"When is a good time to buy Microsoft?  Not lately!"
