Blankmind, If I was a stock investor, that is what i would have done. Buy and hold this stock. If you need to diversify add some stock and bond mutual funds. In my opinion, Microsoft is the only stock that I had been seeing as "undervalued" for a long time. It was the first reason I wanted to buy stocks instead of mutual funds back in 1996. The only other I had felt this optimistic about was Dell . Dell was great from 1997 to November 1998 but that was the end. At that point it became an ordinary good company. I stopped going 100% Dell after August 1998. It used to be very easy. Invest in Microsoft options leading up to earnings and then dump them and buy Dell options leading to its earnings (which are a month later). Unfortunately, I am only left with Microsoft now. I like(and invest in) Intel and Cisco but they are not in the same league as Microsoft. Just my opinion of course.
