So next time keep 1/2 instead… but you made money. 10% profit is better than a sharp stick in the eye. And MSFT should be beautiful at 400!
I had a really excellent 2025. In 2026 I've been rather busy and haven't had a huge amount of time to watch the portfolio, read the daily threads, etc. But it seems every time I check in, the sky is falling. (And I understand why people, particularly newer investors, are frightened.) I'm going through my portfolio to try and gain some perspective to see where the losses are coming from: |Holding|Return YTD|Return 1Y| |:-|:-|:-| |AMD|\-9.7%|\+91.53%| |ATRL|\+3.5%|\+40.43%| |BN|\-16.36%|\+9.2%| |GOOGL|\-3.42%|\+82.66%| |MSFT|\-18.21%|\+1.8%| |Rule 7 Play|\-34.90%|\+83.82%| |NVDA|\-3.35%|\+48.15%| |RKLB|\-1.94%|\+263.69%| |RDDT|\-42.42%|\+3.24%| While I've seen some nasty losses in the YTD category, the biggest losses are in in MSFT and my largest speculative play (Rule 7), as well as my smallest holding: RDDT. Aside from that, most losses are very mild on a YTD basis and you can see that the last 12 months have been extremely positive for most of these stocks even with the latest drops taken into account. It's good to get perspective and remember that a couple stocks dragging down your entire portfolio do not mean all underlying holdings need to be panic sold. The hope is that the market will eventually rally (probably before the midterms as the Republicans will attempt to use a soaring stock market to juice their base's enthusiasm) and those sub 5% losses on the YTD will flip to positive. Anyway, sorry for the wall of text. I was doing this to make myself feel better, and it worked. Time to continue holding. :)

r/valueinvesting said buy MSFT. That means potentially more downside https://www.reddit.com/r/ValueInvesting/s/YvrAzemsBC
Not a good weekend to be 100% in SPY and MSFT 😓
I'm still up and was up pretty decently until Captain Idiot decided to go on some foreign adventures. A couple of weeks ago I was up over 6% for the year, and now I am up about a little under 2%. Not surprisingly individual stocks have taken my biggest hits. Like MSFT or BAM both down around 18% I think. Most of my money is in more defensive/steady stocks or more broadly-diversified ETFs. I also have close to 20% fixed-income due to my age.
If MSFT can test is 200 MA in the 3 year weekly it is definitely looking like a promising position to enter
That’s my thesis. Currently bag holding Meta and MSFT but very patient. It’s actually kinda nice bag holding going into fishing season. Don’t even need to look cause it sucks but will be glorious in due time.
The “edge” is that this structure generates income in every market condition, flat, down, and big uptrends beyond the cheap weekly lotto call. A zero cost collar just sits there waiting for a big move. Collecting premium consistently is where the real edge lives, cushioning downside without cost. Downside spread and short call premiums fund upside protection and rolling. For your collar: On the downside cap, zero cost only works if IV is balanced enough that the call you sell funds the put you need. Right now puts are expensive across the board so you’re either paying a net debit or capping your upside aggressively to afford decent downside coverage. Rolling up in an uptrend isn’t free either, you’re buying back a winning put and selling a higher one for less credit. The math on that roll costs you something every time. Re-rolling sideways at zero cost sounds clean but both legs just decay to zero in a flat market and you’ve paid bid-ask twice for nothing. It’s a totally different animal. You identified the problem with a classic collar yourself at the end. Rolling a long put on a prolonged downturn gets expensive exactly when you can least afford it. With my strat, yeah you lose on downside but collecting the whole way down without paying to roll. That’s why this whole thing is just “a better PMCC” idea. For example, on Friday alone, MSFT share price lost 1.58%, my leaps position lost 5.63% (with 4.6x leverage) while my hedges gave me back 1.28% netting a total loss of 4.35%. My bear call and short call have 27 DTE so there’s still a lot more time value left to expire, meaning the offset isn’t in full effect yet with so much time left. I’m planning to switch the bear call credit spread to weekly so it’s more effective in reducing short term paper loss.
I'll give a real life example. Back in January I wrote a MSFT put credit spread, and like an idiot, I opened it with expiry between an earnings call and a dividend date ($460 / $465 expire 2/13). Microsoft dropped like a stone and I got assigned 2 contracts early, overnight 2/4. This means the broker bought 200 shares of Microsoft on my behalf for $93,000, and showed "-$93,000 buying power" in my account for me to resolve the next day. Now luckily my account is just large enough this wouldn't cause a margin call, and even if it would, usually a broker gives you about 24 hours to settle things up before getting serious (although you can't necessarily assume that!). The next morning I exercise my own put option at $460, selling the 200 shares I now owned for $92,000, for a total loss of $1,000 (minus whatever premium I made on the spread). In many cases, it is preferable to sell your long strike put options instead and sell the stock at market or even keep some of it, but Microsoft had dropped so low I didn't want to mess with it, just wanted to fix my account.) This was a good lesson for me, I still write these contracts but I'm much more willing to open, say, 5 $5-wides on a stock at $150, not on a stock at $600. (In other words, if I got assigned on everything what's the total negative buying power I might accrue.)
Most people use LEAPS on strong companies like NVDA, MSFT, or broad ETFs. Liquidity and fundamentals usually matter more than chasing smaller narrative plays.
Friendly reminder that if you had bought NIO instead of MSFT in January, you woul be up 24% instead of down 18%
the only thing that is down for me long term is MSFT I plan to DCA out of

I thought the same thing; it's very tempting to sell, but my long-term strategy is to have high dividend stocks be the anchors of my portfolio with growth stocks and commodities that can be rotated more often. Ideally, I'd like to rotate my bank holdings to high dividend stocks from banged up sectors; perhaps REIT? I've also been looking at MSFT and INTU for growth stocks.
Ah hem. Every time I see this comment I wonder why people comment on MSFT when they have NO IDEA how far they have moved past Office on the PC. They are in the catbird seat for enterprise computing.
+4% YTD. Mainly thanks to MU, TSMC, SNDK, XLE, LLY & metals. Plus exited NBIS, SN, CCL at near ATHs. Big drops on MSFT, MELI, URA, AMZ etc the usual tech names. Overall worry is so far we haven’t seen a sizeable crash, & that may be coming soon. So keeping dry powder on the sidelines instead of going right back in.
I bought a lot (for me) of MSFT in the year following initial public debut of chatgpt, based on this same logic. Wishing I’d split that across Google tbh.
We are here to make money. What's the plays? I am playing some calls in April hoping for a V. But could play the other side. Amex and MSFT calls.
There is a lot of uncertainty in the Csuite at the moment. Mustafa, Takeshi are both absolutely dropping the ball, and while Marketing is not that big of a deal at MSFT, he is overwhelmed. Mustafa is a much bigger miss, being head of AI whatever and constantly fumbeling around looks really bad. Hood is still solid and well respected, but there is noise that Satya is looking for his exit. Stepping into more engineering and that could cause a possible power struggle between Brad Smith and Judson. Add Phil stepping down and being replaced by a bean counter non gamer at Xbox and there is a lot of doubt about who is driving the ship and what they are doing. You just cannot have this much uncertainty at the top of the biggest company in the world with people flailing all over the place...
We have 1 max 2 more weeks of downtrend until this corrupt POS admin announces ground invasion or something to reclaim Hormuz and then we rip to ATHs. MSFT isn't going to stay below 400 for long. MSFT bottom is 400, META is 600. Don't need any fancy quant analysis, market just likes big round numbers. TSLA is 400.
I don’t know what you are going to do on Monday but I will feast on some juicy MSFT stakes
If you sell a MSFT $450 4/17/2026 Put and get $55/shr for it, and then it is assigned. Your cost basis will be $395 ($450 - $55). So MSFT will have to drop from $395 to take a loss.
This heat map isn't even accurate, TSLA is only down 5.09% for the month, MSFT 2.31% for the month, GOOG 1.94% for the month.
Anyone know what’s up with the MSFT stock acquiring by board members, but only for like 1 or 2 stocks each?
Bought yesterday when it was -1%. Then it ended -2%. Sold a lot of what I was holding today to keep averaging down until I was full port. But it just wouldn't stop dropping. At least MSFT, GOOG, and AMZN today has a brief window of recovery but AAPL was just a straight plummet. Sold most of them because who knows what will happen over the weekend but still holding a few. Going to get drunk and thank my former self for at least withdrawing all my initial amount I deposited and now I'm only playing with winnings. So no harm no foul. But it still fucking stinks.
This thread is reading like George Gammon mixed with Steven Van Meter permabull porn which is usually the signs of a bottom\* \*you guys keep thinking a war = a crash which isn't true. What happened to everyone who was contemplating NVDA going to $200, wondering if MSFT at $450 was a buy, etc.? Those aren't impacted by any was but all of those overly positive people are gone I used to be the bear voice but the lack of positivity has gone too far here
if you follow the stocks this sub loves long term, some are making $$$ on NVDA and GOOG and the rest already went through pain on CRM, MSFT, PLTR, and RDDT. Not sure the market in general is down that much
just need MSFT back to $420, RDDT back to $140 and META back to $633 and i can switch to cash gang
Make post about why you should be buying MSFT puts. Get downvoted by the hoard of bag holders in here. Proceed to print money off said puts. Thats been the playbook
Ouch. MSFT is at 395.20 today. One week to make some magic happen!
$MSFT never fails to under deliver 🤡
Man some people are so dense, my uncle is convinced I'm going to lose everything holding shares of MSFT and thinks I should sell now before it's too late. His argument is simply: "Look at what happened to BlackBerry, Kodak, etc., these tech companies have a high chance of going to zero, you're playing with fire". Tried explaining to him that MSFT is growing earnings faster than the market, while trading at a historically low valuation, and that investors would have to ignore a series of bad earnings releases to watch their investments go to zero, but his peanut brain can't comprehend anything.
MSFT is a special kind of retard. One day it is saving my port and the next day it is dragging it to hell.

MSFT might drill back to $320 at this rate.. going down to its liberation lows.
Not going to lie, I think we're going to keep dumping for a while. META to 550, MSFT to 350 would not shock me at all.

It’s hard to find something as dumb as a MSFT bull
Why do some commenters here want a crash so bad. We've had three crashes and one correction in six years + multiple sector crashes. Buy CRM, MSFT, ADP, AXP, and BX if you want a crash. HD was in a crash briefly yesterday too If you can find reasons why you don't want to buy those right now, then you don't truly want a crash because you will find excuses not to buy good companies raking in cash when it actually happens
