[GeekyDad]

[Silent Viper]

Someone hates MS. Lol. Its just a news. No need to get your panties in a bunch lol

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Congratulations to my fellow shareholders.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Fucking Sega better watch out


For real though, fucking ridiculous these values. God DAMN MS

 

[DavidGzz]

Game Pass gains! Just kidding, I'm sure it's from other revenue. Congrats to them.

 

[Kenpachii]

Lol, Microsoft is way ahead of Apple. It is the number one company in the world. Apple hasn't diversified its business portfolio enough to even look at Microsoft in its eyes. Microsoft is simply put the best and the worst company in the world at the same time. Apple exists today only because of Microsoft's failure and not to mention because of Microsoft's investment in Apple regardless of the reason.
Apple has that shiny m1 but the share of Mac is declining as even Chromebooks have taken over macs. Apple survives on child labor, stealing other company's innovation and copywriting it as theirs and on the colossal stupidity and ignorance of iPhone users particularly women who shame green-colored messages from their android owning friends. Slavery is all cool as soon as they get that White House worthy of being President's home. Those shiny wallpapers and animations and all is cool to them. Also, Microsoft isn't innocent but there is a difference between a thief and a murderer. Microsoft is the best, the worst but apple is just evil.

That’s enough Bill

 

[TrueLegend]

That’s enough Bill

Bill Gates is not Microsoft but like I said he is not innocent, he is the worst but still not evil. He is just a royalty-feeding tycoon. I despise him more than most people. He is basically rockefeller II covering all his shit with philantraphy PR. Satya got some ethical values still left in him and he is Microsoft now; 'the series x'. Bill gates was Xbox One. Gib me munneeyy.

 

[Birdo]

I feel like that cap should be lower

Something something, rich company, something something capitalism.


that’s my take on this!
I need another coffee

 

[MaestroMike]

Lfg i for one welcome our old techno overlords

 

[Trogdor1123]

Surely we don't expect it to stay this high in the next 5 years. Amazon, apple, and ms all seem so overvalued right now

 

[eddie4]

That’s enough Bill

I bet if we went back in time 5 years ago, even 10, you'd find people saying the exact same thing lol.

 

[AJUMP23]

Sataya going to rake in those bonuses.

 

[eddie4]

Yeah but it has doubled to 2 trillion in a single year. This isn't normal growth for a company of this size.

Will those numbers remain though post pandemic, that is the question. Some, sure. Others, doubtful.

Probably not, I'm sure gaming, cloud, and business side (office, etc) will increase. Not sure about the rest.

And if you bought during the dotcom bubble, how long would it have taken you to get back to even?

10 - 15 years?

Something something GamePass is not legal…

I'm the idiot who sold 50% of his position in March 2020

F.

This has been one of my biggest gainers profile wise, ‘cloud’ buzzword alone was coming anyone could see it. Even I’m surprised how long they’ve kept this growth at 50% per quarter but in services it’s fucking insane and I love every second of it.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I bought into MSFT when Satya took over because I was so happy Ballmer was gone. Great decision.

 

[Kazekage1981]

MS has the gaming market with consoles and PC, and Enterprise
Apple has the mobile market with iphones, and applewatch

Can apple get the gaming market and enterprise? Can MS get the mobile market? I miss windows phones

Or maybe its a balance that has been achieved by the universe: Yin and Yang.

 

[Blade2.0]

So when are these companies going to get broken up?!

 

[ManaByte]

 

[V1LÆM]

and people laugh thinking MS ain't a threat to Sony. MS has the money to destroy Sony and they are already making moves. I hope Sony is prepared.

Could've been worse.
Could've sold 100%
And was still a 5 bagger profit after the sale.
But now it's a 10 bagger

Well I thought we got a real rescission and vastly lower stock prices. It was just a small dip.

You never know
