What is a better investment for you? Sony $SONY with its Playstation, or a competitor in the form of $MSFT with its Xbox? Who could be the future winner in the game console sector?
A friend and I were having a discussion today about whether $GOOGL or $MSFT is a better investment in the current situation, so I thought I'd ask you too. Which of these two companies do you think is a better investment for the long term these days?
I guess I don't care :D. Of course if I had to pick it would probably be $MSFT, but currently the stock is expensive and I wouldn't buy it. I have $GOOGL stock in my portfolio and am very happy. I mean, I don't have a problem with having MSFT stock in my portfolio but I also have GOOGL :D
Have a good weekend, investors. How do you feel about the dependence of tech giants like $MSFT$GOOGL$AMZN on artificial intelligence chips from $NVDA?
These tech giants are progressing in developing their own chips for their data centers with AI deployment. An important example is $MSFT 's recent investment in d-Matrix, a company that designs optimized chips to power... Read more
Big tech companies are "threatened" by the European Union + Apple is now in trouble in China.
Amazon $AMZN, Alphabet $GOOG, Apple $AAPL, Microsoft $MSFT, Meta $META and ByteDance (is a Chinese internet technology company) now have six months to comply with stricter market rules.
I don't really get it and it annoys me terribly ( to put it politely). As soon as a country, or in this case the EU, needs money it goes after companies that are doing well. It pisses me off that when a country or the EU needs money and they have a huge debt they go after these companies. Otherwise, I'm not worried about Apple. Apple will and probably already is building factories in India and will target India, so I don't see a problem there.
The SP500 index is up over 14% for the year, which is very respectable. The $SPY is up this year mainly due to technology stocks, which are up tens of % this year and some are even up over 100%, such as $NVDA or $META. The SP500 is rising this year mainly thanks to $AAPL, $MSFT, $NVDA, $META, $AMZN and $GOOGL. However, the question is whether these technology stocks will... Read more

I'm not going to write any direct news today, rather I just want to give space to discuss how you think this first busy week is going so far and JPMorgan's outlook for today's Fed meeting, which I'm sure we will all be watching closely. 😊
Great, nicely written again. I'm also interested in the results of a few companies and the Fed didn't surprise in the end and raised interest rates by 25bps. I'm really enjoying this week😁.
Microsoft's fiscal quarter earnings revealed a gradual decline in Azure cloud revenue growth that overshadowed quarterly gains. Microsoft reported year-over-year revenue growth from Azure and other cloud services of 26% for the fourth quarter, down 1 percentage point from the previous quarter.
I'm curious to see what results $MMM will report today given the lawsuits that are dragging on with this company. But I won't miss the results from $MSFT either. Which results are you looking forward to today?
Next week we will report the results of several interesting and well-known companies such as $GOOGL, $MSFT, or $PG. I'm definitely interested in the results of $GOOGL, $PG, $MCD, and I'm also interested in the results of $MMM because of where they are. Of course, I look forward to seeing the results of the other companies as well.
What companies' results will you be watching... Read more
On Tuesday, eyes on $MMM and $VZ, and of course Google. Then looking forward to Thursday's $BTI. I'll end Friday with $WPC, where maybe some discount could come in.
I have shares of $GOOGL in my portfolio and would like to buy shares of $MSFT below. I agree with Peter and Luke, I also have more faith in Google and Microsoft.
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'm of the same opinion as the others. Playstation is the better console, however, as far as stock goes, $MSFT clearly leads.
