          MSFT     (long)     Microsoft Corp.

But remember, I'm a chartist.; I leave the "fundamentals to you'all"

The stock closed Friday at $94.06 per share.

52 wk. high/low            $94.06/$62.75      Revenue:  $89.40 B.

Founded in 1975 by Bill Gates; presently 124,000 employees;

Hdq. in Redmond, WA.

Probably not too risky to buy into a small, new company such as this one ..... LOL

me bad

[architecto25]

Mod., remember it's just a fun horserace. I just got on here; had posted the closing numbers

shortly after the close; had noticed Uncle's big gain; & thought I would be way down on the

list; was surprised I was still in #2. But the actual market numbers; I had a terrible day.

Hope tomorrow's much better....

[clarkrl2]

uncle23 gets the win with his second wire to wire race in as many weeks. The benchmark edged arhitecto25 for second.

On the worst closing day in some time, uncle was the positive winner this week and wins all the roses.    And, the only one to beat the BenchMark.  A great finish for a bad week.  Congratulations!
architecto ended in Show and was best of all the losers

What a week and closing day.
