Microsoft Corp.  (MSFT)  @  $24.60  - -  What  -  When  -  Why . . .  { August 18, 2011 }

Investing Wisely requires knowing and implementing these three ( W’s ) very well.  With the command of these three aspects of investing, I guarantee you will have consistent annual profits and enjoy financial peace of mind.

Current Opinion:   MSFT is a Sell to Cash or Take Short Positions.  The sideways trend since 2000 is not a way to make money in the stock market.  Yes, it is up from the 2009 lows of about $14 but it is and has gone now where for a very long time.  After a near-term pull back I expect another rally but quite likely it will not return to the highs of early 2010 (approx. $31. ).  I do not recommend shorting this pull back.

The next MSFT Inflection Point will likely be Bullish but that is some time from now!    With MSFT, during bearish general market time frames, I would rather go to cash to be safer than hold for a possible pull back such as in mid 2007 – present when it contracted over 70% of its value (from $35. to $14.)  You might also note that this Company sold for $48 per share in 1999.   - - -   Note:  The accuracy of my forecasts / warnings / alerts is well respected as well as very accurate and profitable.  I use cash as a safe harbor and will short in bearish time frames.  If you are a buy & hold investor you would be wise to follow this series in InstaBlog.
