It might help to think of Microsoft as an IT services utility, investment-wise, instead of as a tech company. MS stock pays dividends, holds its value, and is generally a safe investment for pension funds and retirement accounts. Company growth is slow but steady and there isn't much chance of the market going irrationally exuberant and bidding the stock beyond reason only to crash once the hype cools. Probably better than munis, these days...  |
They used to say "No one every got fired for buying IBM." Now I guess it is "MS."
