2.46 Billion shares outstanding!!! Talk about dilution
The chart looks like a downward trend may be forming. I may be wrong but I personally think it is too late to join that party, at least at these prices. Wait until gates starts some real unloading! My advice is to follow Paul's example. He probably is in pretty good shape to judge MSFT's potential versus current share price <g> |
