Yup. You can always use a bearish position as a hedge. Not saying that this is what Burry is doing but one could be long GOOG MSFT for some Ai exposure and then pick the crappiest AI-influenced company (eg ORCL CRWV)

I went long on $MSFT but $amzn been doing good for me
Please save my MSFT.
Honestly 6 weeks + a bull-ish tape is basically the best-case backtest, so I wouldn’t get too attached to the +4% yet. The allocation looks like “default Reddit core portfolio + a little crypto,” which isn’t *bad*, but the overlap (VTI + QQQ + AAPL/MSFT) means you’re kinda doubling down on the same thing and calling it diversification. If you like the AI angle, I think tools like Prospero are better for quick context and risk flags, but the actual portfolio construction still needs you to set tighter rules around concentration and rebalancing.

My MSFT calls need it
If you look at a dividend aristocratic fund it has approximate returns of VOO/VTI. However counter intuitively it does not have a high dividend yield , the dividend yield is just slightly higher than VOO. Because even companies like MSFT has paid and raised dividends over the last 20 years, its just that their stock price has also appreciated much faster then their dividends making the yield somewhat small Even NVIDIA pays a dividend .
I'd assume almost all of that is hardware purchases for AWS. The interesting ratio for [AMZN, GOOG, MSFT] would be cloud segment revenue :: capex.
MSFT UBER, i need you to pump, i'm no longer asking
AMZN, GOOG, MSFT make sense because majority of the capex is for compute that is sold. Meta is the odd one out. They need to recoup this via ads and I think that won’t work out. It’s the same play as the “metaverse” where they even changed the name of the company. Outcome of that has been minimal and flatline revenue. Expect the exact same outcome with AI for Meta. NVDA and AAPL get the best bang for their bucks. TSLA is a meme.
MSFT and META are the old Google now. My biggest positions, love it.
Apple, NVDA, Amazon, MSFT gonna do nothing all year 🤮
ngl, markets impressive as fk right now considering that AAPL & MSFT & META - and to a lesser extent NVDA & MSFT have been dead for months. AMZN and GOOG are really the only decent performers of late
FML Jimmy inverse Cramer just said he's still bullish on MSFT & META 2 of my heaviest positions
If AMZN and MSFT pooled their gains today they might come up with a dollar.
MSFT is like the kid in school who got dropped on his head and now nobody wants to play with him anymore…
This is the opposite of the guy that saw Kevin say buy calls on MSTR and accidentally bought calls on MSFT
SPY & MSFT continuing to gape my port. Theta death by one, stock to zero by the other
AMZN, AAPL, MSFT, and NVDA can barely hold us back haha
Buying MSFT if it gets to 450
People complaining about NVDA, AAPL, TSLA and MSFT should buy real stocks like BYND, OPEN, FIG and BULL. 🤌

I thought April17 MSFT 500C would be eeeeasy money when I bought them in November. I was so very wrong.
Please! Listen to me! I have travelled from the future to warn you: In 20 years, the AI-Energy wars have decimated our planet. Musk's robot army patrols the streets and what remains of humanity cowers in the dark of caves. Also, MSFT trades around $480-$500
Everything green except of course AMZN and MSFT, which I own lol
I think the concept you wanna touch on is **liquidity**, the term that OP is basically describing but doesn't have the word for it. If you are talking about an asset like Silver or gold or a stock like say NVIDIA or MSFT, or a crypto currency like BTC, they all have a lot of liquidity and it's a fungible asset and there are enough buyers and sellers at it's market price. Conversely, say if I had bought a castle on the cheap for 200K and now it's appraised at 5 million dollars, I might still not be able to find a buyer easily because a castle and real-estate in general is not a very liquid asset, and there is a considerable amount of friction in buying/selling real-estate, and there are a 1000 considerations before someone will buy your castle for 5 million. People are not flipping real-estate at the same pace as more liquid assets that I mentioned above, whereas I can buy/sell a million dollars worth of any of those assets sitting on the toilet using my phone in 1 minute.
Looking at the MSFT daily chart is fucken depressing
Buffet said invest in things that improve your everyday life. That rules out MSFT for me, not a product I don’t hate
I'm SPY/MSFT/BP now. MSFT just slowly sapping my will to live
MSFT up when? Thought we'd bottomed the other day when it finally went back to ~490. Got rug pulled.
They’re all on my ig or threads page @gamma_sniper but: MSFT $470 Calls Monday: Scalped 41% Tuesday: Scalped 66% Wednesday: 270% moved to $489 in at $472.50 AMD $215 Calls was a big and unexpected one. Jumped from $215 to $227 that one paid out like 3K
So go to options. Buy a MSFT long call Jan 9th expiry with a strike of 320$ for 15,800$. Then hold it until it expires. 500% gains. Thank me later
You couldn't go wrong with that line up tbh. Add MSFT to it though.
MSFT, AMZN, AAPL, GOOG, ORCL… These aren’t just tech companies - they are a huge part of the communications / industrial base of US businesses. Their biggest clients are multi-billion dollar global enterprises, not consumers.
Best 2 mega caps for 2026. I had 50/50 $AMZN and $GOOGL but will move into $META x $MSFT soon
Can I speak with the MSFT manager?
It's being financed by companies like META, GOOG, AMZN, MSFT, etc., which have large amounts of cash and very little debt.
MU Broadcom AMD APPL MSFT just absolutely everything dumping SPY says nah
Don't get me wrong, most of my money is in index funds and long holds on safe stocks (GOOG, AMZN, MSFT, etc) but when I am maxing out my yearly contributions, a little gambling on growth stocks is fun. Am I leaving some money on the table? Maybe. If maxing out a Roth means having some fun money to play with, perhaps OP is like me, it's better to max out and play than to not max out at all. Value investing in the traditional sense is not outpacing the market these days. Cheap stocks get cheaper and its seen as a better value. While a lot of stocks are seen as overpriced, yet continue to go up.
The continued rise of winner take all dynamics in software markets allowing for the creation of monopoly / oligopoly market dynamics that aren't easy to enforce from an antitrust perspective. Monopolies and oligopolies are very profitable. As an example, one of the big things in the MSFT antitrust case was the market share dominance of Internet explorer. The European case started in 2009. All this did was cause Chrome to become the dominant browser of choice: wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers America just happens to be the home of such tech companies, which partially helps explain the outperformance globally.
I was up 2,000 on my MSFT position now it’s a lost
I watch SPY nearly every day and it always follows MSFT NVIDIA and Apple and today it's just like nah. Nah I don't want to
SPY hasn't even caught up to how much MSFT and Google are dumping
MSFT always dragging my port down
Looks like everything is getting dumped today. Ofc I'm invested in MSFT & Gold
Meta gonna run out of boomers eventually and Google gonna eat MSFT’s lunch. Already kicked their ass on AI and cloud will be over once Gemini finishes destroying OpenAI and they’re coming out with a desktop OS soon.
MSFT & META to zero apparently
MSFT back to being useless
Microsoft fumbled the devices (phones) market. They had windows mobile for a long time, worked with blackberry, and a bunch of devices. They bought Nokia, but they fumbled it. It was Ballmer’s biggest mistake as CEO. He was making fun of iPhone not having a keyboard. This mistake by MSFT, cost them 100s of billions of potential revenue. Ballmer sat on the fat stack of revenue. Didn’t invest in future. Now they did get the hyperscaler chunk of market thanks to Satya going aggressive in Azure. Ballmer MSFT would have missed on Azure. Apple has a similar story, if they fumble on AI, Google will eat their lunch. Google has both Android and Chrome. They’re a hyperscaler with their custom chips, they have the DeepMind + Google brain talent. They have Waymo and can probably get into robotics too. Apple only has iPhone doing more than half its revenue. They aren’t gaining more market share. They could get into AI by partnering with OpenAI or another lab, but then they don’t get to capture the value. Someone else does.
Hey, sounds like you’re in a solid position overall — great income, a stable job, and you’re investing early with a long-term mindset. That’s already a huge win 👏 As for VOO vs VOOG — here’s how I’d think about it: **VOO** is the full S&P 500, so you’re getting a broad mix of everything — growth, value, tech, industrials, financials, etc. It’s kind of the "set it and forget it" option, and historically it’s been super reliable. Super low fees too. **VOOG** zooms in on the growth side of the S&P 500 — so more exposure to big tech and companies expected to grow faster. It’ll likely outperform in bull markets when growth is hot (like during the 2020 rally), but it can also underperform or get hit harder when growth stocks fall out of favor. Since you’ve got **time on your side**, VOOG could make sense if you're comfortable with more volatility and believe in long-term tech/growth trends (especially with AI, cloud, etc.). But yeah — it’s definitely a bit more concentrated, and you’ll feel the swings more. **On the AI front** — you’re right that a lot of the gains right now are concentrated in a few mega-cap names (Nvidia, MSFT, etc.). That can be a double-edged sword: great when those stocks are ripping, but painful if they pull back hard. **Tax-wise**, in tax-advantaged accounts (like Roth or TSP), there’s not a big difference — you don’t pay capital gains or dividends taxes there. In a **taxable brokerage**, they’re both ETFs so they’re generally tax-efficient, but VOOG might kick out slightly higher capital gains/dividends depending on rebalancing, since it’s more concentrated. Nothing crazy, though. **Mixing both?** Totally reasonable. Some people go like 70/30 VOO/VOOG, or the other way around, depending on their growth conviction. Or you could just pick one and stick to it — honestly, **the most important part is staying consistent over time.** Hope that helps — curious to hear what you end up going with!
Every dump will be re-pumped thanks to the Meme5 (MemeVDA, Google, MSFT, Meta, Amazon) + small MemeGang(PLTR and semis)
I’ll tell you what I bought, in order, starting Feb 2025: CSU UNH MSFT SHOP BLK PLTR AMD TSLA BABA VISA CEGS (And this week MU which shot ip over 10% the next day, weeeee!) The losers so far have been CSU, UNH and CEGS (to be fair, this one has upside and was the last one bought) Net gain in 2025 11.9%. Keep in mind, half of the picks haven’t been held half a year even, and they are rockin.
You’re not wrong to question it. VGT’s returns have been great, but the concentration risk (NVDA/AAPL/MSFT) is real. QQQM still gives you strong growth exposure, just with broader sector diversification and less dependence on a few names. Swapping VGT for QQQM is more about reducing volatility than giving up upside. You’ll still benefit if AI keeps winning, just without all the risk sitting in one sector. Personally, I prefer keeping the core diversified (VTI/VXUS/QQQM) and saving true speculation for small side bets...things I’m also considering, like Ian King next gen coin rather than concentrating that risk inside the core portfolio.
Dead money. Not enough innovation. Mind you, MSFT went through this, and they brought in an engineer to run the company. AAPL can come back, look at the history bringing back Steve Jobst.
Microsoft is the weakest Mag 7 right now. I'd genuinely rather buy TSLA at its current price than MSFT at its current price
Rotten $AAPL will be surpassed by $MSFT very soon. Apple is not innovating.
Covered MSFT short at 483.7 (from 489.6) and took profit.
I told you: Rotten $AAPL. $AAPL will be surpassed by $MSFT sooner or later.
"Nope. If I were playing that game, I would have mentioned my portfolio. I didn't." Have to call this BS. You didn't mention it because you were trying to put him on the spot and there was no need to. Like a snake waiting to strike and rattling their tale. You know it I know it. Why not own it. If you really were curious you would have said what did you see that led you to that? "Because those individuals clearly understood why I asked the question and didn't need me to explain why it matters." No cause they puffed up your ego and justification for asking that question. They affirmed you in the way you needed. And I would say on the betting thing someone living pay check to pay check puts all their money down (like the OP said he did) has way more conviction than someone who doesn't live paycheck to paycheck and puts it all down but has a great job and a spouse to support them and isn't living pay check to pay check. The person who has less that risks more, has more to loose. You don't see that? BTW, and something you really really really don't get. Is Risk Reward. People leaving their money in right now are the riskier bet. The people pulling it out like myself are the strategic betters. We risk lack of profits. You risk bottoming out your portfolio. Our risk is lack of profits which really isn't a risk. We still have our money. You risk your portfolio. Being in the tech industry myself for over 30 years and actually living through the dotcom bubble and working in it. I have seen the circular investing that is going on first hand. I worked for a startup company that didn't make a dime and sold for 30.5 million dollars (alot back then). The company that bought them sold to webmd within a few years. Gobble Gobble Gobble. So the SP500 being driven by tech industry the way it is and its circular investing is a pattern I am familiar with. During that time I was investing 150K doing day trading making 20K a month. Unfortunately, I am older and can no longer risk that type of money. If I Could I would be day trading on MSFT that keeps bouncing between 470-490 over the past weeks. I could afford to do that and I would make a shit load of money. Perhaps I should. After all not the worst thing to have 1 Mill in MSFT stock and waiting it out if it didn't pan out. They generally beat the SP500 a lot of times. And they are not going anywhere. Had I done that today I would have cleared 20K.

probably going to have to wait until earnings for MSFT and META to rip, they're still printing money
I moved from $MSFT to $GOOG after the disastrous Sam Altman interview a month or so ago.
3rd will be MSFT. Apple slowly going down.
I moved from $MSFT to $GOOG after the disastrous Sam Altman interview a month or so ago.
Almost 50 percent Amazon, Google, Microsoft. Not really intentional but when I have money to invest I normally put some amount into these and they have outperformed. It get especially tilted as last year I was generally piling into Google because it seemed undervalued...and then it caught up--going into the year I had more MSFT than anything else and now its Google by a wide margin.
Seems like every MAG7 stock except META and MSFT have hot streaks. META and MSFT just go fucking down and up repeatedly. Making no progress. GOOGL was on a tear. TSLA had a hot streak the other month. AMZN has 3% gainer days regularly. AAPL kind of sucks actually lol, although it's been on a heater recently too. SMDH dude.
#I can't believe my eyes, Microsoft is actually green. I thought MSFT didn't even know the color green. LMAO🤌
So glad I got the fuck out of my MSFT puts lol
Most people here are probably too young to remember or realize. But one of the biggest stock market crashes occurred in October 1987. Your question is interesting - but most people would have panicked - as I did following the Black Monday crash. The stock market back in 1987 is very different than it is today. Liquidity and microstructure entirely different. And friction to access the market by retail investors was much higher. Typical investments in 1987 would have been in companies that may no longer exist or have gone bankrupt. If you look at the Dow Jones constituents - stalwarts at the time like Kodak and Sears are bankrupt. In 1987 - many investors relied on mutual funds - and if I had to pick a fund in 1987 - it would have been the Fidelity Magellan Fund and/or the Janus Twenty fund. But even these funds became lackluster after the dotcom and gfc crashes. There is no such thing as simply buying and holding forever. It's a mistake that many investors make who think that stocks only go up if it's a "value" stock. People here saying things like MSFT are too young to understand that MSFT back in the mid '80's was considered speculative. There were other companies like Borland, CA, Paradox, Aston-Tate, Digital Research, Sun Microsystems, Apollo, Digital, IBM, etc. that was vying and competing to what Microsoft is today. And people suggesting Apple don't remember that Apple almost went bankrupt in the early '90s and was a struggling company in the late '80's.
Shorted some MSFT at 489.6; it is a bait.
Sold my MSFT calls too early this morning like a bitch. 🫠
MSFT reportedly planning January layoffs. Cheap labor is almost always immediately requested after and this time prolly won’t be different. Bullish af
MSFT is the most confusing Mag7 currently
MSFT is kind of obvious. As for a sector fund...FSELX. Altria would have been an excellent pick outside of the tech sector.
MSFT finally stopped being a piece of shit? My April calls were -40% Now they're only -10% at least
MSFT doing crazy things, I sold my calls (which were dead) at 484
Long AMZN, MSFT, NVDA, MU. About 1 million total position.
Fun question! 58% between BTC PLTR and MSFT
My brilliant Indian engineering friend told me to invest $1,000 in MSFT in 1987, but as a recent collage grad, I barely had $100 to my name. That $1,000 would be worth $2.3 million today! (Side note: my step-father would instead buy me one share of IBM around my birthday for few years, which really hadn’t done much but I still own the shares in physical certificates.)
Bought MSFT calls Friday, watched them go -90% and cut today for -10%. That’s a fucking win
1987 - 2005: MSFT (165x) 2005 - 3/1/2020 (Covid crash): AAPL (12.5x) 3/1/2020 - present: NVDA (14x) 28,500x $1000 => $28M
AAPL was available in 1987, and didn't do much for about 17 years until 2004. Holding it during that period would have gained you an awesome 4.7% CAGR. OTOH, 1987 was exactly when you wanted to get into MSFT, with a CAGR of over 17% during the same period.
I think MSFT would give you the best return. Another good one not mentioned would be WMT.
This sort of thing always happen with MSFT. People say it's a horrible stock only for it to rally 50% after a blowout earnings
MSFT could turn off the entire world if they liked. They will bounce back this year to new highs. Im saying at least $600 eoy.
Why does MSFT always cuck me
BRK.A is the obvious choice. Off the top of my head after that: MSFT, MCD, XOM, GE, KO
MSFT. Parlay that to NVDA
So there's this theory that there are only 2 ways to invest. Been listening to Howard marks recently where he explained this. You're after winners or avoiding losers. If you're after winners you'll buy losers too. But if you're good you'll win more than lose. If you're after avoiding losers you need low growth defensive stocks. And I think if you understand this you can think of your own goals better and adjust your strategy accordingly. If you're avoiding losers, concentration won't be a great idea. If you seek winners and you have high conviction, maybe concentrating your portfolio around fewer tickers is great. Not every strategy is for everyone. Myself I'm highly concentrated on ai and polish company CD projekt who own Witcher and Cyberpunk IP. I think of my positions like GOOG, asml, MSFT, CDR like I'm the owner of those companies. I don't hold tickers, not price. I'm just partial owner and those are my companies which I selected to own and be with them for good and for the bad. Concentration is risky but I have high conviction of their success. There's no gain without risk.
