I know a little about everything but not much about specific businesses. I have been an investor/speculator for a long long time, and I think its difficult to predict when a company is losing its edge. I cant comment on intc and microsoft certainly looks like a value play however, I think its been decades since they came out with an exciting revolutionary product despite all their billions. I remember 4 years ago I met a computer consultant and Microsoft was coming out with some new program and i asked her what she thought of and she told me that she tried to avoid using microsoft products as they were more costly than less costly or sometimes free products. That is why I am more comfortable with goog ibm and even yahoo. Despite all the disparaging remarks about yahoo. I use it daily, and I love their chinese investments. these are businesses that I can understand and that seem to have moats.good luck with your investing. I googled myself the other day and i was surprised at the information that was public record, including the price i paid for my house, a charitable organization listing me as a contributor, and various comments i had made using my real name on public business websites, and on court proceedings. Try it sometime you may be amazed as well.
