Microsoft shares trying to get above $20

21
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) shares have tanked 42% in the last 52 weeks. With Zune issues, great XBOX sales, and Windows 7 on the horizon -- what do you make of it all?

Only if the XBOX division at Microsoft could become their own company, then it would be an easy buy. Microsoft has sold more Xbox 360 games last year than in any other year, and said that 28 million consoles have been sold since the game's introduction three years ago.

Xbox 360's total sales now are 8 million more than competitor Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3 game. Microsoft added that its Xbox Live online community now numbers 17 million members and more than $1 billion has been spent on Xbox Live in the past three years.

1 - Every stock is hurting.
MSFT is trading at $19.97. It will go up, it will go down. That's what it does. IBM is also down about 45%

They're not the only ones hurting from this recession. Let's hope this year things slowly get better.

Yeah, it's really messed up. Even Macy's is laying off people and closing stores.

EDIT: My comment was deleted when I just asked the guy what his comment had to do with anything relating to the topic.

Thanks mods!

Do you work in retail @ Macy's, Juuken?

I'm only saying because I have friends who work within the company.

Zone manager and a store manager, to be exact.

7 - This actually proves what bs the stock market is.
Microsoft hasn't stated anything about having a major lose of revenue and their stock drops over 40%. They will always sell software, they are always gaining access to new markets and the Devices Division is finally making money. But suddenly the stock drops. If the market worked like it is supposed to, the drops would only be in companies actually suffering major hardships. But companies that aren't losing anything are having their stocks fall too. It's a scam on the public and people are crazy to invest in it.

8.1 - Firstly, not a kid.
But that is the problem, there used to be a time when people kept their money in utilities to be safe. They were stable because people would always need water and power. It's no longer about sustainability, it's about constant growth(which is impossible). Not being a reliable source of a dividend, but a ever increasing dividend. You can't be comfortable, you can't even be well off. You gotta be filthy rich. Which leads to a totally unstable market because as we have seen over and over, everyone involved will lie, cheat and steal to get just a little more. The result, Enron, credit Default Swaps and Sub-Prime loans. And we all know where that gets you.
