I see nothing wrong with msft as a company. Indeed they will probably get stronger. It's the chart and valuation that makes me think the upside on it is limited. Last time I checked, msft represented over 10% of nasdaq. The whole index could be ok and still be down if that one stock trades lower. I think software looks bad though. The whole entire sector. And msft is one of the priciest stocks in it. Semis still look ok to me, but I haven't looked at charts with today's trades in them. I'm thinking of buying some soon on weakness as a trade. I think I posted once that it was "time to buy" but not necessarily "time to hold". I'm buying a few shares to hold in selected companies though because I want to own them for a few years and valuations are ok. They may trade lower in the short term but I think in the next few years they'll be looked at as a good move. I'm also looking at buying msft as a trade if it goes down another 10 or so. Otherwise, I'll just leave it be. I do not short. Ever.
