Microsoft $MSFT has signed an agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following Activision Blizzard's acquisition of $ATVI. The agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation could further ease concerns about the impact of the acquisition on competition.
But will it be enough or will they find something else? 🙄
Since I own $MSFT stock I like the acquisition, I like how Microsoft is developing the video game market, their cloud gaming is something great. I feel a little bit like Microsoft messed up with their Xbox, Sony is definitely better at consoles, that's why Microsoft is trying to attract people with cloud gaming where you really only need fast internet and a newer TV. I'm currently holding and don't plan on selling.
Finally! A US court has ruled that Microsoft $MSFT can go ahead with its planned $69 billion acquisition of video game maker Activision Blizzard $ATVI.
I picked up$MSFT pretty well at $235 and I'm still holding. I believe they will improve results with the help of AI, the inclusion of AI in Office and Windows will attract new customers. I didn't buy $GOOGL and I'm glad I have money in $MSFT, I like that one better.
Have a nice evening Buliosians, I would be interested in your opinions, how do you see the future of these two - technological giants? Which of $MSFT vs $GOOG do you trust more in the future? For example, can Microsoft steal the #1 spot from Google in internet search with the help of their AI? Have your say in the comments!
I like Microsoft better, I like their diversification and incorporation of AI into Windows and MS Office. Personally I hope their acquisition of $ATVI works out, that would give them a bigger share of the video game market.
AI! The most talked about topic in the investment world lately. We had a crazy tech rally during covid. When the pandemic ended, inflation and interest rates rose and the tech. mega rally was extinguished.
Now we have a new rally! ChatGPT has left investors feeling exuberant. And a new rally is in full swing as all sorts of future AI opportunities are priced in. That's why I've... Read more
Or how Jim Cramer ruined our enjoyment of the stock markets... Time to short? 😂
Jim Cramer pointed out the top 7 stocks he thinks are guaranteed winners for this year - Apple $AAPL, Microsoft $MSFT, Nvidia $NVDA, Amazon $AMZN, Facebook $META, Tesla $TSLA, Google $GOOGL.
There are some good points and some that are a bit against. I don't see a lot of growth there right now either and I would have expected some sort of drop off. If we get to even lower levels than we were last year, that would be a bump. Still no blood flowing in the market yet...
I would also like to know the answer to the question of what to expect from the market, but now it's an unreal goulash, it seems to me, the market does pretty much whatever it wants regardless of what's going on around it,
$MSFT Market cap ($2.44 trillion) is slowly approaching $AAPL Market cap ($2.79 trillion). Do you think Apple will maintain its dominance with the largest market cap, or will Microsoft replace it in the top spot? :)
As most here have written, even if $AAPL is no longer on that first rung it probably won't matter. AAPL already has that name and that status awfully strong.
We are finally seeing some decline in stocks like $MCD$PEP$PG$KO and $SBUX has been added as well I think the decline is not over and so finally those new here will be able to buy into these good stocks for at least some first position to possibly dilute further.. :) It's just a shame that $MSFT and $GOOG haven't joined in yet... :)
