Microsoft

By:Tim Sighter

The name "Microsoft" is a household name and honestly I've never known anyone who hasn't heard of the company Microsoft. Which lead me to write this article because often new investors tend to target big name stocks for many reasons one being, they feel familiar to them because they grew up with the name.

Microsoft is in a slump with the opposition of three big names in the tech industry...Apple,Google,and Sony and all three are ganging up on Microsoft.To Microsoft's disadvantage recently Apple has been dominating the phone industry and music industry,While Google has always been the lead runner in the search engine area. In the gaming industry Microsoft has a little bit of a edge over Sony and their PS3.Because of a product called the Xbox360 which has allowed them to become king in the console world.

In all three of those industry's,nothing last's. There is always going to be some new must have trend.Which leads to me think once the I-anything trend dies out who has been digging into the music and phone area searching for something that would give them a boost past Apple,Microsoft has. The same is happening on the search engine side of things,recently there has been talk of a merge between search engines Yahoo and Microsoft,if this ever happened they think it would better compete with Google, because of the flexibility the search engine provides.

To me i find Microsoft a under rated stock,in time i think the stock is going to grow and thats because they branch out.As that hurts them in some aspects it gains a certain edge against other companies because most are not ready to take the leap into new markets where they will be considered the underdog.

When these things will influence Microsoft's stock is hard to say,but do you find the future benefits outweigh the prominent risk? that's up to you.
