    Let's assume you have some money, and you would like to secure/increase it by invest on a tech company. What would you do? I personally prefer M$ share because 1- low price ( about 40 USD ) so I could buy a good chunk! 2- Satia's work would increase MS profits in years to come ( this is my thought, may not be correct ) So, What would you do and why?

    I wouldn't invest in an already established firm like Microsoft, Apple or Google As I don't think you'd really get anything back. I would look into being an investor into Tech start up's get in while the company is not worth its full potential, look at the like of facebook, whatsapp etc

            Keep my money and not buy stocks and shares. Nobody knows which way they will go. Profits aren't directly linked to share price anyway! Look at Twitter, Amazon, and such like. MS assumed that Win8 would improve profits as well, remember. And Vista. And ...

                  The moment a company floats, management's focus changes from long term strategy to the very short term: They become obsessed with the next quarterly dividend as that directly influences their bonuses. :^)

                      1. Low price is a non-reason. % gain is % gain, regardless of the unit price. 2) By the time a technology company investment is open to the MOPs the main profit is already taken.

                      I didn't think it was that simple, don't you have to buy a block at a time (multiple shares) which kind of limits what you can buy based on your available cash?

                              I bought some Apple when they split. My return has been very nice.

                              According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.
