Are Glorious Days Ahead for Microsoft?

jimmysmith:

MSFT may be undervalued right now and yes, could offer a 30% plus return, that is ofcourse you time it exact and get that whole 30% return.
Then what? Hold? Sell?

My point was more for the long term investor.

Anyone under 50 years old who wants their money to grow substantially must be invested in mid cap stocks as a means to create wealth. Mega cap stocks, even those with somewhat above average yield, are not going to make the average american (who saves very little) wealthy over the next 30 years.

Just as the folks who have owned mega cap stocks for the past 10 years. Other than XOM, which finally caught up to and surpassed its mega cap brethren, mega cap stocks have been and will continue to be forever dead money. I certainly would not want another 10 years to go by to suddenly realize you are running out of time.
