MSFT

zendaddy76

I actually DCA’d into index funds starting in 2003 but I’m a school teacher so I couldn’t do the max until I got to the top of the salary schedule, and then I discovered FIRE and started adding to my 457 as well. My first stock was MSFT, just 2k from a college scholarship in 1998, so individual stocks didn’t begin until I 2016. I got interested in finance and stock picking was a hobby. The plan was to retire at 55 with my pension and retirement accounts covering my expenses, however I can hopefully retire at 52 if the economy stays stable or at least flat from now until then. It’s been a grind (work is stressful) but I’m grateful that I started early with small additions to retirement accounts that slowly increased and also compounded. And also of course for hitting some home runs with individual stocks (although I never invest more than 5k into one stock anymore, that’s my personal limit). Good luck with your journey 👍🏽

My total max additional would be $25k more. $15k done. I loaded the truck on GOOG in June 2025 then was up nearly 100% now down to 20% or so. Of course I regret not selling at the top. But I’m not selling now even though 20% on one’s biggest position in 17 months is not too bad for a giant company. I sold my whole position in MSFT instead to help fund more shares in RDDT. I was up 25% on MSFT this year and I while I think it’s by far the lowest risk of mega tech having a really smart approach to AI, it’s seems fairly valued to me and not sure it will beat the S&P. GOOG seems significantly undervalued due to well known fears around low ad density of AI Mode/Overviews. GOOG has an exemplary track record of capital allocation (unlike Meta for example) and brilliant M&As. I’m will to hold GOOG as I still fully believe in them even if they face some challenges.

I don’t think you know what spending commitments means. It’s the ideal path for everyone, but it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. Case in point: MSFT just lowered their CAPEX spending for 2027 and many others will do the same.

moatandmargin

I agree the demand looks real, and I'm holding NVDA, MSFT and GOOG through the swings. I'd just be careful timing it off sentiment, since fear can stay high longer than you'd expect. For me the better signal is whether the big buyers keep growing cloud revenue fast enough to justify the spend.

caprishouz

At some point hyper scalers will cut capex. And chip stocks will go back to where they belong in the double-digit price range. And hyper-scaler stocks will surge. $META $MSFT $AMZN 🚀

Taraih

MSFT is an easy buy/hold. Solid business and growing. There are no signs their enterprise business will be disrupted. GOOGL likely a buy but search is a major issue they did not show how to solve yet

DingDangandChill

Most tech stocks got blasted for capex. Apple spends 10 billion. Google, Amazon, Meta, MSFT all spend drastically more. Their cash flow will be strongly positive. I won’t be surprised if it goes up.

bzl33

MSFT and AAPL more likely than those two

groceriesN1trip

I disagree. GOOGL MSFT AMZN META are the big spenders keeping this all afloat. Once they secure their AI cloud infrastructure and stop spending, this oligopoly will be the primary beneficiaries  Anthropic and OpenAI will just layer on

Harp-Note

I sold MSFT calls as well, and it faded into profit. For someone so pessimistic about the market, you're oddly worried about call selling. 🧐

SilentExtinction

Did I mention MSFT or other companies?

SlySquid420

Take a look at AAPL or MSFT back in 2003 and get back to me

itsalwayscalls

MSFT revenue up 56.7% in 3 years, staff count flat 221,000 vs 223,000 in 2026. And you're selling AI stocks. They are shipping more, more quickly, in every business. Keep selling, I know what I got.

We're probably at least one more quarter of crap away before it's possible you have a MSFT earnings type moment by them where they do surprisingly well where most have given up sadly. It absolutely does have too many happy buy the dippers right now.

Draft_Gods

They’ve taken on \~30B in debt to fund a stock buyback and the market hasn’t batted an eye because their earnings look good. But their earnings has been distorted by investment gains in Anthropic/MSFT/NVDA for 4 consecutive quarters, propping up EPS and masking an inflated P/E. At their next ER (their first “clean” quarter in over a year), I’m expecting a correction when the market sees underwhelming operations.

OurSeepyD

Only thing that's stopping me is no "word and excel" stock. MSFT will probably survive through Azure. I genuinely don't know how people don't see what's coming.

Super-Activity-4675

Do you realize how much of that growth is compute spend for OpenAI and Anthropic? What do you think happens when those companies fail? Here's another fun fact, both OpenAI and Anthropic have huge concentration risks as most of their business comes from AI startups dependent on VC money. Look, I'm in this industry for a living, which included 10 years at MSFT in technical roles. The tech will never accomplish what it is promising, and you and I will end up suffering the most.

Super-Activity-4675

The entire bubble is predicated on virtually unlimited growth from Anthropic and OpenAI, both of which are seeing significant slow downs in the rate of increase in their revenues. The famous backlogs of MSFT, ORCL, GOOG, AMZN, NBIS, CRWV, etc. are either large percentages or the entire picture of both of these companies. Semi demand is gone when the AI labs go under. The other three have uses for the technology but not at a rate that justifies the spend.

OurSeepyD

I've used Word and Excel for ~20 years. Excel daily, Word less so. Both are (particularly Excel) genuinely fantastic products for their time. They will die. If you can't see Word dying, I think you might need immediate medical attention. Markdown files will be how documents work. In 5 years, nobody will be using spreadsheets for anything serious, and I think this will even mean that small quick spreadsheets for prototyping will die out. I'd be happy to put my money where my mouth is, but I think MSFT have a chance to grow in other areas, so not keen on shorting the whole company.

TheGoodBunny

Short MSFT is dum dum. Enterprise market is MSFT's house

futureformerjd

Buy MSFT and GOOGL 50/50 and I'd be shocked if you didn't beat the market over the next 5 year period.

Super-Activity-4675

I think it's worth noting that when the market sold off this week, MSFT held up. Most of the rest of the Mag 7 did not. I'm not sure I'd short MSFT. Google's problem is that one thing AI is good at is cutting through their enshitified search engine to get people what they need to find. They might be able to enshitify their AI assistant, which quite frankly makes plenty of mistakes as is, but they aren't going to be able to compete against ChatGPT, Claud, Muse, etc. GCP may grow its revenue, but until the AI bubble pops, Google's search monopoly is in trouble and they have no answer for that. It should bottom at some point, but I'd probably be wary of trying to time that.

livingbyvow2

Tbh, if OpenAI goes bust because they cannot keep on running / ran out of cash flow, they will just be reabsorbed into MSFT (who owns all their IP) while Anthropic's competitive position will likely allow them to continue being OK. Ant isn't that bad, they barely burned any of the cash they raised since founding.

Tis_But_A_Scratch___

By this logic, this is every major company. Google - search is dying, MSFT - their software is trash and AI will come up with something better over time, Apple - expensive hardware out pricing people and expensive cloud for photos, NVIDIA - once capex slows they are fucked, META - pretty much have already squeeze every cent they can out of the billions of people they have, Amazon - re-used products and cloud. At this point all this data centers being build will be a commodity companies just choosing the lowest bidder, destroying margins.

GregGirthman

OpenAI and Anthropic will both collapse, but they will take most of Mag7 with them. TSLA will get black swan'ed a cluple years. The debt is too high and with open source models and cheaper, efficient and more capable hardware entering the market, AI will become a cheap commodity. Very useful tool, but not beholden to access bazed on expensive tokens. If hyperscalers were smart, GOOG, MSFT and META should cut their losses (capex) and save their businesses. They are diversified enough.

Toucanopolis

Wish I was a bit smarter back then like you. I had about 50k worth of MSFT @400ish and was down for months. Ended up selling it a little above cost when it started to bounce, not believing it. I learned a hard lesson in patience there

ImpressiveAmount4684

I remember the miserable energy here when MSFT was down. Sweet, sweet tears are being licked as we speak **LMAO**

SeizeTheTrusts

sharks tasted blood and want to eat the whole thing they will force OpenAI to liquidate and MSFT or Oracle will pick up the pieces

zendaddy76

I usually look at forward pe and 250 day moving average. If macro environment looks ok, I add to my positions where I have conviction. But this is in my Roth and I’m holding for at least 10 years. I started doing this in 2016 and have outperformed VT by 82% in my “play money account” (which I limit to about 100k). You can’t win them all, but the pullbacks in 2018, 2020, 2024 (tariff tantrum) and 2025 (Iraq war) did wonders for my individual positions. That said, 90% of my investments are in VT or TDFs. This year I’ve added to MRVL, AMD and TSM in April, CRWD in July, MSFT in August, and Google and AMZN on Friday (first time buying AMZN). I still hold AAPL (my first stock pick in 2016, followed Buffet) and NVDA from 2020. Play the long game and be patient. I’ll be retiring 3 years early bc of my winners. 👍🏽

Cinq_A_Sept

I think MSFT buys OpenAI out of bargain bin this year. Not sure if that’s calls or puts

It doesn't work because you're seeing it from the perspective of a consumer at home. These corporations primarily sell to other businesses. As I was saying in this braindead subreddit back when MSFT was at $350, nobody cares what the average Joe feels about Windows and Xbox because that's not where Microsoft makes their real money.

Mustatan

AI industry run and and lead by historic fraudsters like Amodei, Altman and Elon pushing obvious scams with no hope of ever turning a profit and historic debt traps, using circular financing and creative accounting with NVDA's collusion that would make Theranos, Enron and the original Ponzi blush, and literally the most obvious rug-pull pump and dump IPO plans in history even openly planning to exit and grab F shares on Week 1 just hoping for enough retail regards to get exit liquidity. Except unfortunately even META, GOOG, AMZN, MSFT and of course ORCL have joined in the regardation and lemming-racing and that's all sucked in even the hyperscalers and shovel sellers like CRWV, INTC, AMD and NVDA itself (and even AAPL indirectly) into charging off the same cliff.

Mustatan

Lol this, we took a hit too, fortunately exited most of our earlier positions but still took AI bubble losses and kicking ourselves for not seeing the light sooner. So ridiculous how the AI industry is now sucking in even old Big Tech titans like AMZN, GOOG, META, MSFT and of course ORCL, to the point they seem committed to collective hara-kiri as a business strategy. Or volunteering to be lemmings off the cliff for better analogy. Cut off their own cash cows for sake of massive blind data center capex with not even a hope and a prayer of actually making money, when [the ROI stinks](https://www.apollo.com/wealth/insights-news/insights/daily-spark/no-signs-of-ai-payoff-outside-the-tech-sector), [Americans overwhelmingly hate it](https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/americans-turn-against-ai-poll) and China and Europe can just be the mole in whack-a-mole and pop up perpetually [with cheaper](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/businesses-experimenting-cheaper-chinese-ai-185931713.html) [and](https://enlyft.com/tech/products/mistral-ai) often [better AI options](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/07/chinese-ai-models-costs-us-openai-anthropic.html). Even NVDA, AMD, SPCX, INTC and the other shovel sellers are getting sucked in or already hitting negative cash flow or debt, even AAPL isn't untouched, the memory cost insanity is helping cut it's sales and their earnings don't back up that P/E anymore. The dumbest part is the "leaders" of the industry are such obvious no-profit mass scams for Big Tech to get sucked into, it's like putting together all the biggest hits of financial and business fraud from the Ponzi scheme through Enron and Theranos, complete with circular financing and creative accounting, and hundreds of billions in rising commitments that even the dumbest fantasy math can't ever repay, even with the AGI BS or if they had half the economy. It's basically a cash-burning machine, except Amodei and Altman could give Elizabeth Holmes a run for her money with the latest BS. Putting up an IPO begging for $2 trillion while you have junk bond status, historically massive debt and losses, oh and you alter the IPO rules so you the big insiders can basically unload on Day 1 and most of the rest shortly after, oh and they get the majority F shares so the small fry shareholders can't even steer the company? As bad as SpaceX was, this is such an obvious rug pull and pump and dump that even the dumbest retail investors should know they're just bagholders for exit liquidity. So Dario and Sam can grab it and run and maybe sell it to the big names. It's just a mystery why Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft would fall for the snake oil themselves, and Oracle basically speed-running a bankruptcy in tag team with CoreWeave to fund this disaster.

Jumpy_Bus7817

NVDA is interesting. Briefly up for a bit this year, and its back to where it was last year. Average price targets have it around a 60% upside. Even if half of rhe most bullish targets are high, then its still a 20-30% higher projection. I think it might go on a similar run like MSFT did back late this summer

ResultAfraid8340

I play both sides, only it didn’t work on Amazon or MSFT. Success so far in Goog, META, INTC, SPCX Have positions in PLTR and Tim Apple

Panthera__Tigris

After GOOG fell so much and even MSFT fell, I KNEW reddit, Intel and Sandisk will also fall no matter the earnings. Yet, I did not take a short position. You did. Good job.

Intelligent-Land2648

I don't know if it's worse than chatgpt / other LLMs because I don't use it. I just know that they did not want to push it to consumers, despite actually inventing the first widespread language model*. The Chatgpt posed a huge threat to them and they had no choice. I think putting it into search was their idea to save search. Then OpenAI cut that deal with MSFT. *You could say AI was invented in the 80s even if not technically possible. Google invented the first wide language model.

Confusing a shorter time stock price overreaction with the actual underlying business is the exact mistake retail makes every single earnings season. The "market" also dumped Meta to $88 in 2022 and MSFT to $360 a few months ago over capex fears before both ripped to new all-time highs. Did you even listen to the actual earnings call? The underlying business just grew revenue 25% YoY to $127.6B, grew operating income 30% to $40.6B, and doubled Google Cloud (+103% YoY) to $30.7B with a $561B backlog. The stock sold off because Wall Street panicked over $51.4B in upfront data center capex. Also, if we are talking about who knows more, Berkshire Hathaway is literally involved here and bought in more back in June around $350. I'll gladly take the underlying fundamentals and Buffett's playbook of buying great cash-flow machines during short-term capex panics over a short time sell-off.

Intelligent-Land2648

Yes, poor MSFT. They had to dump 60,000 "teammates" who are "like family" and wall st totally didn't even appreciate it.

Misdefined

Lmaoooo funny how 2 months ago people were saying MSFT should replace their ceo

itstheskylion

It’s just panic a couple of months back MSFT was trending at 380 and NVDA below 200 but no one was shitting their pants at that time because NBIS and micron were printing. Now MSFT is at 500+

gtaFrench

AMZN is down 3% and MSFT is flat for the week. What are you all talking about?

greenpride32

It's like armchair RDDT posters think that leadership at the top companies in the world are willing to spend large sums of money on resources without knowing if there is actual demand to consume such resources. Your AMZN/GOOGL/MSFT and your frontier AI labs are bidding on any new neocloud capacity that is made available because they don't have enough. Imagine being in the business of selling compute, and at same time willing to pay a neocloud their margin markup on same compute. There is only one scenario in which that happens, and that is you can leverage the resource for even more.

Dazzling-Cheetah5951

Any time bears are spreading FUD on RDDT, the bottom is in. They pulled the same on Liberation Day. I see the same kind of regard posting that GOOGL is going to 250 as the MSFT ones who were saying 310. GOOGL back at 320 by Friday 🤌💰👍

ateranol

Just a couple months back MSFT had lower share price than GOOGL

One_Advantage_7193

The neo clouds came up before the chip sales began(goog and amzns). Thats what i meant when i said different semis would behave differently. Because of the complex inter relationships. Sndk is needed by everyone, nvidia isnt. Idle chips is manifesting in 2 ways, ready to go datacenters because no power for them. And winter is coming. Another case is those chips sitting in the warehouses because the DCs haven't even been built out yet. Those can be sold back into the market if cash flow trimming is needed, especially if demand looks to taper( not any time soon). MSFT is overstretched, amy said that their new DCs capacity get taken up entirely as soon as it's turned on. Add that to customer complaints on the subs like azure and other places proves that msft will lose their loyal customers if they don't build out fast enough. They need the buildout and power on like yesterday. Canada having power isn't going to help, if at all they do, because it's the American grid that's weak, the power would need to be brought all the way to Virginia and Texas. Both are already heavily stressed out and can't handle the additional gigawatts of flow needed. And Grid buildout isn't going to happen anytime soon atleast 7 years out. Also canadian dams are running out of water. On-site generation it is for foreseeable near term. One hurricane or a storm could wreak havoc to the existing grid in a way that'll cripple operations. It will be interesting to see how on site generation will keep up during the winter.

Smallest-Yeet

wtf MSFT lmfao

BuffaloSabresFan

I'm not sure if its hedge funds, but yes, people are selling off other AI plays to free up cash for the Anthropic IPO. If Anthropic has $50-$100B available on day one, thats the entire market cap of some of the neoclouds, so people are dumping stuff like CRWV and IREN for the bigger player. But there's more at play. They aren't dumping NVDA or the hyperscalers en masse. Those are crashing because AI is proving to be a lot of smoke and wrecking the financials of GOOG, MSFT, etc. Google is spending money to destroy its own moat ffs.

One_Advantage_7193

Yup especially MSFT, AAA rated

To the people comparing MSFT to GOOGL I never knew MSFT's main business was search lmfao

Holy crap, just noticed MSFT built in a "help-me-type" blue dot over the text cursor in edge. Lemme see how it works... LMAO I called it a dumbass while asking it to explain why it exists and its output was blocked by MSFT.

barnacle9999

There is more upside with Google and Reddit compared to holding MSFT. Also no capital gains taxes where I live, so I can rotate into other stocks pretty easily.

Icy-Sheepherder-7595

Why dump the MSFT with such a low cost basis? I'm a little higher at $390 and not as large of a position ($60k) it's my most confident hold currently and as much as I'd want to lock in some of that profit I don't know why I'd give up the one stock that had good news this week

Spac55

BigTech are global. They have big cashflow. They saw future with AI adoption As big cash flow growing. They keep spending for AI-infrastructure build up Look coding jobs, now all coding by AI $MSFT $META $GOOG $AMZN $NVDA $AMD $AVGO $ASML $QQQ $SMH $SPY Watch liquidity today

I had about 100k in RDDT at around $120 average. Added another 60k today at $94. Similarly had about 80k in GOOG at $240 average. Added another $100k today at $279. I funded this by selling 160k of my MSFT position at $523. I have an average of $365 on MSFT.

EmergencyRace7158

This might be the AI bubble popping but I'm skeptical because the markets are focusing on the wrong things. They're focusing on AMZN, GOOG and INTC missing guidance targets but they should be focusing on the far more bearish story of MSFT beating because they undershot capex due to datacenter delays and cancelations. This is a capex bubble and it will pop when it becomes obvious that far from growing forever, a vast majority of guided capex is unrealistic to spend in any sort of reasonable timeframe.  My guess is the banks lower their expectations for NVDA's guidance on 11/18 and leave Jensen an easy layup for his usual narrative pumping bs. They can then go back to saying the AI trade is back on and trigger a relief rally so that Anthropic can safely list this bonus year for the sell side. I'm taking profits on my Nov expiry semiconductor puts today and will wait for a pop to reload for a Jan expiry.

OtisB

I made a lot of money buying MSFT at 355 and 380. Every time some hug megacap tech company that's fully entrenched in our lives takes a dip, it's a buying opportunity. I'm not talking about adobe. I'm talking about google. microsoft. amazon. the future will bring more names too.

zg44

Everybody got spooked by the AMZN FCF and INTC earnings. AMZN and GOOG are basically acting like start ups in terms of how much money they're burning to build out AI. MSFT is at least still FCF positive and should be for much of next year.

moatandmargin

Agree the doom posts get old, since these companies still print cash. The fair worry is narrower: when several of them raise spending in the same quarter, investors want to see the payback sooner. I hold GOOG, META and MSFT, and I'm watching cloud growth against spending, not daily market cap swings.

greenpride32

The reality is AMZN and GOOGL didn't care about their short term numbers because they are focused on their longer term growth. Companies of this size with in demand products and services can easily hit "the numbers" by some combination of sales and promotions or delaying spend until the next quarter. Your "lower tier" companies do this all the time. But I don't think they even care. The real money is made by investing in a company that grows over time, and you invest and hold and maybe buy more over time. It's the balance sheet that matters, not the short term stock price. If you looked at long term charts for MSFT AMZN GOOGL of top and bottom line, well it's basically up and to the right. Had you just looked at the stock chart you see a very different picture. In the longer term, that former chart will propel the latter chart up and to the right - but it won't always be a consistent pattern.

Extension-Horse-5331

Did people finally figure out that anthropic and openAI are just taking all the investment money and loans and giving it to NVDA, SpaceX and MSFT? It's such a pyramid scheme. They're never paying anyone back.

Cav829

Month 10 of that war with no end in sight. Korea, China, and Brazil stock markets have crashed. Every hyperscaler went cash flow negative (save MSFT which is hanging on by a thread and gutting its work force to avoid it). Rates skyrocketed higher with the Fed likely to hike twice more in the next few months, meaning this temporary dip in rates is not likely to hold long. Every tech company is choking under massive debt the debt market is increasingly not touching without insane rates. Do you want more? That's really the difference. March was essentially the "too early" correction to everything that has finally happened.

Harp-Note

Thank you 🩷 Either that, or selling calls seems to be the go-to strategy. META and MSFT proved that even "good" results fade and kill calls anyway.

My_2cents_

Yes, I am retired and have everything in NASDAQ (+ Mag7 individual stocks like AAPL, MSFT, GOOG, etc), it's always outperformed S&P since I've been in it (2005), although it is slightly more volatile (which is normal, you can't get higher high's without lower lows). In addition to several $M in QQQ (NASDAQ) I moved a $1M to QQQi which pays monthly dividends (around 14% per year) which is what I can live on, although QQQi is also NASDAQ it grows slower in exchange for monthly dividends and a slightly (2%) lower downside when the market turn bear because it's using covered calls on the NASDAQ index... either way, the fixed income is perfect for me and the rest continues to grow at a good clip for the last 20 years. S&P is a dog IMHO.

asiansensation78

During a gold rush, sell shovels. During an AI race, sell cloud computing services. Parts of MSFT's business can be dumpster fires (looking at you xbox) but Azure is a money printer.

SockeyeSTI

Wut It’d be like 13,xxx shares and 7.2mil without drip. You are taking the corrected share price and then splitting it again when in fact, the actual price range was \~$70-$120 back then. Also a relative put a similar amount in MSFT back in ‘89 and still holds today and the figures align up with my math.

Tis_But_A_Scratch___

Gemini says Google uses 75%-85% of their total compute capacity is run on their TPUs while the remainder is NVIDIA to satisfy Google Cloud customers who rely on the NVIDIA ecosystem. So this is actually crazy how much a leg up in making their buildout and investments go further than MSFT, META or Microsoft who rely on the Semis.

Competes in is meaningless. Apple has a moat with an monopoly on phone IOS. MSFT has a moat on windows OS. Email and maps Google is the best but it is very hard to monetize without destroying your market share. The only moat is in search and that's what the business should be valued for.

Y'all remember when MSFT dropped under $400? Fun times. I wonder if we will get an opportunity like that again...

MSFT gets rewarded by going down 1% instead of 13%. No prisoners. This market is hunting big tech down until the streets are red with their blood.
