Unfortunately, MSFT is probably the best investment going now. It is a monopoly, and it has never demonstrated a reluctance to doing whatever is necessary, including effectively bending the law, to do what it needs to do to destroy its competition. We don't have a DOJ that, at this time, has enough courage to do what it needs to do to stop this juggernaut, so it should indeed continue to climb. Even if the DOJ does find some brass somewhere to do what it needs to do, which is break up MSFT, it would be an investors dream. Equal shares in the pieces of the company, each with its own monopoly. So to me it is a good investment, although I have a hard time supporting them. But money is money, and that's the way it goes.
