I bought it after reading about the company&#39;s success with Azure-the second fastest growing of the big tech cloud services. <b>Alphabet&#39;s</b> (GOOG) Google Cloud was growing faster than Microsoft&#39;s Azure at the time (54% vs. 42%), but Azure was profitable while Google Cloud wasn&#39;t. So I figured that MSFT was the safer cloud bet.</p><p>When I bought MSFT, I was pretty much betting on Azure. When researching the stock, I discovered that its revenue growth in non-cloud businesses was slow, and that its valuation was expensive. Today, Microsoft only trades at 26.5 times earnings, but it was above 30 around the time I sold it. It has a sky-high 11.4 price-to-book ratio to this day.</p><p>Around the end of 2021 I knew that the Federal Reserve was planning on hiking interest rates, so I sold the two most expensive stocks in my portfolio: MSFT and <b>Adobe</b> (ADBE). The timing on those sales was pretty good because I booked gains on both (33% on MSFT and 20% on ADBE), while limiting my exposure to the tech bear market. Shortly after these sales, I wrote the article &#34;The Tech Stock Crash Will Likely Get Worse,&#34; which explained my reasons for being bearish on tech stocks. After the article published, the NASDAQ-100 fell a further 28%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a19f7b4044c0b5ef16645e84b3bfd206\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"923\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>NASDAQ trading after I predicted a tech crash (Google Finance)</span></p><p>Initially, I invested the proceeds I got from selling Microsoft into classic value plays: banks and energy stocks. I figured that rising interest rates would help banks earn more money while the economic recovery from COVID-19 would boost energy stocks. I was only half right about the first part (rising interest rates helped retail banks but not investment banks), I was 100% correct about the second part. At any rate, I booked some small profits on energy stocks and didn&#39;t buy anything new for a while after that.</p><p>Later, though, I started thinking about getting into tech stocks again. After watching the NASDAQ-100 tumble, I noticed that valuations were getting cheap. In particular, I noticed that Google had gone all the way down to 20 times earnings, despite still having double digit revenue growth, while Apple was gaining market share in China. Apple was on the pricey side at that point, but not as much as Microsoft (it traded at around 24 times earnings). So, I added some GOOGL and AAPL-the former stock has fallen about as much as Microsoft, the latter has given me a gain.</p><p>None of this is to say that I&#39;m actively bearish on Microsoft. I still hold the <b>Invesco QQQ Trust</b> (QQQ), which has a high level of MSFT exposure. However, factoring in price, competitive dynamics, and growth, I find Google and Apple to be better bets. In the ensuing paragraphs, I&#39;ll explain why I think that way.</p><p><b>Competitive Landscape</b></p><p>One area where Google and Apple both have an edge over Microsoft is competitive dynamics. Google and Apple both have wide moats, Microsoft&#39;s position relative to competitors is less robust.</p><p>First, we can look at Google&#39;s moat. It&#39;s the #1 online ad platform in the world, with 26.4% of the market. In second place after Google is <b>Meta Platforms</b> (META), which has gained at Google&#39;s expense over the last decade, but is experiencing issues this year due to Apple&#39;s privacy changes and competition from TikTok. We can expect Google&#39;s moat to persist, because it benefitted from the very same Apple policy changes that hurt Meta, proving it has a resilient model competitors can&#39;t touch.</p><p>Next, we can look at Apple&#39;s moat. This stems from its brand (the most valuable in the world), which helps it retain customers, and its interconnected ecosystem, which encourages customers to buy multiple products. Apple has a huge fan community on YouTube, which helps it sell products without extra ad spend. As a result, Apple is #1 or #2 across multiple product categories, including:</p><ul><li><p>Smartphones- #2 after <b>Samsung</b> (OTCPK:SSNLF).</p></li><li><p>Smartphone operating systems- #1 by revenue, #2 byuser count.</p></li><li><p>Tablets- #1.</p></li><li><p>Smart watches- #1.</p></li><li><p>Computer operating systems - #2 after Windows.</p></li></ul><p>So we can see that Google and Apple both have high market share. Additionally, they have factors that can lead us to infer continued high market share-brand loyalty in Apple&#39;s case, a resilient ad platform in Google&#39;s case.</p><p>As for Microsoft?</p><p>It has some of the advantages that Apple and Google have, but not to the same extent. It controls Windows, the most popular computer operating system, but that product category has plateaued. It no longer has a meaningful presence in smartphones, as it failed in that market. In cloud services, it is #2 after Amazon. Finally, in gaming, it&#39;s second in hardware sales to <b>Sony&#39;s</b> (SONY) PlayStation 5, and owns the popular Minecraft IP. Microsoft has a pretty good competitive position, but it is not the #1 player in any growth sectors the way Apple and Google are.</p><p><b>Comparative Valuation</b></p><p>Having looked at Microsoft&#39;s competitive position, we can now turn to its valuation. MSFT remains a pretty expensive stock well into the 2022 bear market, and it may continue to be expensive for a while. To illustrate this fact, we can compare Microsoft&#39;s earnings multiples with those of Apple and Google.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67e868df6fdac980f7adad3c07e00ed8\" tg-width=\"938\" tg-height=\"328\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>As you can see, Apple is pretty similar to Microsoft, while Google is far cheaper. Valuation favors Google, it does not favor Apple, but recall the previous section on the competitive landscape: Apple&#39;s high brand loyalty makes it a very reliable company. It is not under any threat of margin compression due to new competitors entering the market, Microsoft arguably is.</p><p>As for Microsoft&#39;s valuation in a discounted cash flow model: it&#39;s hard to forecast the cash flows of a company with as many moving pieces as MSFT. However, if we start with the last 12 months&#39; $8.69 in free cash flow per share, and assume that it grows at the 10-year CAGR rate of 7.7%, we get to $12.59 in FCF per share after five years. Using a 3.25% discount rate (the current treasury yield), and assuming that growth falls to zero after five years, we get a present value of $379. That&#39;s a significant amount of upside, but remember that DCF models are very sensitive to inputs. Change the discount rate to 8% and suddenly the fair value falls to $150, which is severe downside. If you run this same model swapping out Microsoft&#39;s free cash flow for Google&#39;s, you get a fair value of $215, which implies 2X upside. Google also ends up worth less than today&#39;s price if you raise the discount rate to 8%, but the amount of downside (about 20%) is less.</p><p><b>Microsoft&#39;s Earnings</b></p><p>As I showed above, Microsoft has a steeper valuation than other tech companies you can compare it to. However, it has some advantages that other tech companies don&#39;t have. For example, it&#39;s still growing. In its most recent quarter, MSFT managed to achieve positive top and bottom line growth, posting the following results:</p><ul><li><p>Revenue: $51.9 billion, up 12%.</p></li><li><p>Operating income: $20.5 billion, up 14%.</p></li><li><p>Net income: $16.7 billion, up 2%.</p></li><li><p>Diluted EPS: $2.23, up 3%.</p></li></ul><p>Like many companies in the same period, Microsoft achieved solid revenue growth in Q2; however, unlike those other companies, it also had positive earnings growth. For a tech company to still be growing in 2022 after the Fed&#39;s many rate hikes and Apple&#39;s privacy changes is impressive. However, note that:</p><ul><li><p>Google&#39;s Q2 top line growth was higher than Microsoft&#39;s, at 13%.</p></li><li><p>Apple is doing a major product launch today that could boost its sales.</p></li></ul><p>Certainly, Microsoft is a good company. But when you look at Google&#39;s wider moat and Apple&#39;s potential catalyst, both of these stocks look like better opportunities.</p><p><b>Risks and Challenges</b></p><p>As I&#39;ve shown in this article, Microsoft is a good stock, but perhaps not the best in the tech sector. I personally think Apple and Google are more appealing. However, there are risks and challenges facing any investor who chooses to overweight Google and Apple at the expense of Microsoft, including:</p><ul><li><p><b>Concentration risk.</b> All investors are exposed to two types of risk: market risk and specific risk. Market risk is the risk inherent in the whole market, specific risk is the risk in any one stock. The more you diversify, the less your specific risk. A broadly diversified portfolio with thousands of stocks reduces your specific risk to near zero. When you increase your specific risk by holding a lower number of stocks, your total portfolio is said to have &#39;concentration risk.&#39; If you&#39;re considering investing in just tech stocks, a full &#39;FAANG&#39; portfolio that includes MSFT, AAPL, GOOGL and the rest of the NASDAQ-100 will have less concentration risk than a pure Apple/Google portfolio. It would still be exposed to market risk, but its overall risk would be lower than holding just Apple and Google.</p></li><li><p><b>A slowdown in consumer spending.</b> Despite the current economic contraction, consumer spending is still rising modestly. In this environment, there are plenty of people buying Apple products, and patronizing companies that advertise on Google. If we enter a full fledged recession, though, that will likely change. As economic activity dips, people start to worry about being laid off-they often cut their spending as a result. Should something like that happen, an enterprise-focused company like MSFT might fare better than Google and Apple, which are heavily invested in the consumer.</p></li></ul><p>The risks above are worth keeping in mind.

I bought it after reading about the company's success with Azure-the second fastest growing of the big tech cloud services. Alphabet's (GOOG) Google Cloud was growing faster than Microsoft's Azure at the time (54% vs. 42%), but Azure was profitable while Google Cloud wasn't. So I figured that MSFT was the safer cloud bet.When I bought MSFT, I was pretty much betting on Azure. When researching the stock, I discovered that its revenue growth in non-cloud businesses was slow, and that its valuation was expensive. Today, Microsoft only trades at 26.5 times earnings, but it was above 30 around the time I sold it. It has a sky-high 11.4 price-to-book ratio to this day.Around the end of 2021 I knew that the Federal Reserve was planning on hiking interest rates, so I sold the two most expensive stocks in my portfolio: MSFT and Adobe (ADBE). The timing on those sales was pretty good because I booked gains on both (33% on MSFT and 20% on ADBE), while limiting my exposure to the tech bear market. Shortly after these sales, I wrote the article \"The Tech Stock Crash Will Likely Get Worse,\" which explained my reasons for being bearish on tech stocks. After the article published, the NASDAQ-100 fell a further 28%.NASDAQ trading after I predicted a tech crash (Google Finance)Initially, I invested the proceeds I got from selling Microsoft into classic value plays: banks and energy stocks. I figured that rising interest rates would help banks earn more money while the economic recovery from COVID-19 would boost energy stocks. I was only half right about the first part (rising interest rates helped retail banks but not investment banks), I was 100% correct about the second part. At any rate, I booked some small profits on energy stocks and didn't buy anything new for a while after that.Later, though, I started thinking about getting into tech stocks again. After watching the NASDAQ-100 tumble, I noticed that valuations were getting cheap. In particular, I noticed that Google had gone all the way down to 20 times earnings, despite still having double digit revenue growth, while Apple was gaining market share in China. Apple was on the pricey side at that point, but not as much as Microsoft (it traded at around 24 times earnings). So, I added some GOOGL and AAPL-the former stock has fallen about as much as Microsoft, the latter has given me a gain.None of this is to say that I'm actively bearish on Microsoft. I still hold the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), which has a high level of MSFT exposure. However, factoring in price, competitive dynamics, and growth, I find Google and Apple to be better bets. In the ensuing paragraphs, I'll explain why I think that way.Competitive LandscapeOne area where Google and Apple both have an edge over Microsoft is competitive dynamics. Google and Apple both have wide moats, Microsoft's position relative to competitors is less robust.First, we can look at Google's moat. It's the #1 online ad platform in the world, with 26.4% of the market. In second place after Google is Meta Platforms (META), which has gained at Google's expense over the last decade, but is experiencing issues this year due to Apple's privacy changes and competition from TikTok. We can expect Google's moat to persist, because it benefitted from the very same Apple policy changes that hurt Meta, proving it has a resilient model competitors can't touch.Next, we can look at Apple's moat. This stems from its brand (the most valuable in the world), which helps it retain customers, and its interconnected ecosystem, which encourages customers to buy multiple products. Apple has a huge fan community on YouTube, which helps it sell products without extra ad spend. As a result, Apple is #1 or #2 across multiple product categories, including:Smartphones- #2 after Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF).Smartphone operating systems- #1 by revenue, #2 byuser count.Tablets- #1.Smart watches- #1.Computer operating systems - #2 after Windows.So we can see that Google and Apple both have high market share. Additionally, they have factors that can lead us to infer continued high market share-brand loyalty in Apple's case, a resilient ad platform in Google's case.As for Microsoft?It has some of the advantages that Apple and Google have, but not to the same extent. It controls Windows, the most popular computer operating system, but that product category has plateaued. It no longer has a meaningful presence in smartphones, as it failed in that market. In cloud services, it is #2 after Amazon. Finally, in gaming, it's second in hardware sales to Sony's (SONY) PlayStation 5, and owns the popular Minecraft IP. Microsoft has a pretty good competitive position, but it is not the #1 player in any growth sectors the way Apple and Google are.Comparative ValuationHaving looked at Microsoft's competitive position, we can now turn to its valuation. MSFT remains a pretty expensive stock well into the 2022 bear market, and it may continue to be expensive for a while. To illustrate this fact, we can compare Microsoft's earnings multiples with those of Apple and Google.As you can see, Apple is pretty similar to Microsoft, while Google is far cheaper. Valuation favors Google, it does not favor Apple, but recall the previous section on the competitive landscape: Apple's high brand loyalty makes it a very reliable company. It is not under any threat of margin compression due to new competitors entering the market, Microsoft arguably is.As for Microsoft's valuation in a discounted cash flow model: it's hard to forecast the cash flows of a company with as many moving pieces as MSFT. However, if we start with the last 12 months' $8.69 in free cash flow per share, and assume that it grows at the 10-year CAGR rate of 7.7%, we get to $12.59 in FCF per share after five years. Using a 3.25% discount rate (the current treasury yield), and assuming that growth falls to zero after five years, we get a present value of $379. That's a significant amount of upside, but remember that DCF models are very sensitive to inputs. Change the discount rate to 8% and suddenly the fair value falls to $150, which is severe downside. If you run this same model swapping out Microsoft's free cash flow for Google's, you get a fair value of $215, which implies 2X upside. Google also ends up worth less than today's price if you raise the discount rate to 8%, but the amount of downside (about 20%) is less.Microsoft's EarningsAs I showed above, Microsoft has a steeper valuation than other tech companies you can compare it to. However, it has some advantages that other tech companies don't have. For example, it's still growing. In its most recent quarter, MSFT managed to achieve positive top and bottom line growth, posting the following results:Revenue: $51.9 billion, up 12%.Operating income: $20.5 billion, up 14%.Net income: $16.7 billion, up 2%.Diluted EPS: $2.23, up 3%.Like many companies in the same period, Microsoft achieved solid revenue growth in Q2; however, unlike those other companies, it also had positive earnings growth. For a tech company to still be growing in 2022 after the Fed's many rate hikes and Apple's privacy changes is impressive. However, note that:Google's Q2 top line growth was higher than Microsoft's, at 13%.Apple is doing a major product launch today that could boost its sales.Certainly, Microsoft is a good company. But when you look at Google's wider moat and Apple's potential catalyst, both of these stocks look like better opportunities.Risks and ChallengesAs I've shown in this article, Microsoft is a good stock, but perhaps not the best in the tech sector. I personally think Apple and Google are more appealing. However, there are risks and challenges facing any investor who chooses to overweight Google and Apple at the expense of Microsoft, including:Concentration risk. All investors are exposed to two types of risk: market risk and specific risk. Market risk is the risk inherent in the whole market, specific risk is the risk in any one stock. The more you diversify, the less your specific risk. A broadly diversified portfolio with thousands of stocks reduces your specific risk to near zero. When you increase your specific risk by holding a lower number of stocks, your total portfolio is said to have 'concentration risk.' If you're considering investing in just tech stocks, a full 'FAANG' portfolio that includes MSFT, AAPL, GOOGL and the rest of the NASDAQ-100 will have less concentration risk than a pure Apple/Google portfolio. It would still be exposed to market risk, but its overall risk would be lower than holding just Apple and Google.A slowdown in consumer spending. Despite the current economic contraction, consumer spending is still rising modestly. In this environment, there are plenty of people buying Apple products, and patronizing companies that advertise on Google. If we enter a full fledged recession, though, that will likely change. As economic activity dips, people start to worry about being laid off-they often cut their spending as a result. Should something like that happen, an enterprise-focused company like MSFT might fare better than Google and Apple, which are heavily invested in the consumer.The risks above are worth keeping in mind. If they concern you, then Invesco's QQQ ETF might suit you better than a concentrated Apple/Google bet. Nevertheless, it's hard not to notice that Google and Apple enjoy competitive advantages over Microsoft. That reason alone is enough for me to weight the former two stocks higher than the latter.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":554,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9029817528,"gmtCreate":1652753038764,"gmtModify":1676535155392,"author":{"id":"4104834856196050","authorId":"4104834856196050","name":"Estada1","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/540cbb22ae6a6be965da1f7800e86785","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4104834856196050","authorIdStr":"4104834856196050"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Invest knowing that it is still a risky asset","listText":"Invest knowing that it is still a risky asset","text":"Invest knowing that it is still a risky asset","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9029817528","repostId":"1114289990","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114289990","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1652747214,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1114289990?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-17 08:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"LUNA Crypto: Where Do Things Stand After Terra’s Stablecoin Failure?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114289990","media":"investorplace","summary":"Terra(LUNA-USD) developers are picking up the pieces after the network’s near total collapse last we","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><b>Terra</b>(<b>LUNA-USD</b>) developers are picking up the pieces after the network’s near total collapse last week</li><li>Community proposals are cropping up, aiming to right the ecosystem and allow LUNA to rebuild</li><li>The Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) is clarifying the state of its reserves, which are now nearly empty</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae9916c23f2f928ab45c1902098e97c8\" tg-width=\"1600\" tg-height=\"900\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: David Sandron / Shutterstock.com</p><p>The last week in cryptocurrency is certainly going to be one for the history books.

I bought it after reading about the company&#39;s success with Azure-the second fastest growing of the big tech cloud services. <b>Alphabet&#39;s</b> (GOOG) Google Cloud was growing faster than Microsoft&#39;s Azure at the time (54% vs. 42%), but Azure was profitable while Google Cloud wasn&#39;t. So I figured that MSFT was the safer cloud bet.</p><p>When I bought MSFT, I was pretty much betting on Azure. When researching the stock, I discovered that its revenue growth in non-cloud businesses was slow, and that its valuation was expensive. Today, Microsoft only trades at 26.5 times earnings, but it was above 30 around the time I sold it. It has a sky-high 11.4 price-to-book ratio to this day.</p><p>Around the end of 2021 I knew that the Federal Reserve was planning on hiking interest rates, so I sold the two most expensive stocks in my portfolio: MSFT and <b>Adobe</b> (ADBE). The timing on those sales was pretty good because I booked gains on both (33% on MSFT and 20% on ADBE), while limiting my exposure to the tech bear market. Shortly after these sales, I wrote the article &#34;The Tech Stock Crash Will Likely Get Worse,&#34; which explained my reasons for being bearish on tech stocks. After the article published, the NASDAQ-100 fell a further 28%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a19f7b4044c0b5ef16645e84b3bfd206\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"923\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>NASDAQ trading after I predicted a tech crash (Google Finance)</span></p><p>Initially, I invested the proceeds I got from selling Microsoft into classic value plays: banks and energy stocks. I figured that rising interest rates would help banks earn more money while the economic recovery from COVID-19 would boost energy stocks. I was only half right about the first part (rising interest rates helped retail banks but not investment banks), I was 100% correct about the second part. At any rate, I booked some small profits on energy stocks and didn&#39;t buy anything new for a while after that.</p><p>Later, though, I started thinking about getting into tech stocks again. After watching the NASDAQ-100 tumble, I noticed that valuations were getting cheap. In particular, I noticed that Google had gone all the way down to 20 times earnings, despite still having double digit revenue growth, while Apple was gaining market share in China. Apple was on the pricey side at that point, but not as much as Microsoft (it traded at around 24 times earnings). So, I added some GOOGL and AAPL-the former stock has fallen about as much as Microsoft, the latter has given me a gain.</p><p>None of this is to say that I&#39;m actively bearish on Microsoft. I still hold the <b>Invesco QQQ Trust</b> (QQQ), which has a high level of MSFT exposure. However, factoring in price, competitive dynamics, and growth, I find Google and Apple to be better bets. In the ensuing paragraphs, I&#39;ll explain why I think that way.</p><p><b>Competitive Landscape</b></p><p>One area where Google and Apple both have an edge over Microsoft is competitive dynamics. Google and Apple both have wide moats, Microsoft&#39;s position relative to competitors is less robust.</p><p>First, we can look at Google&#39;s moat. It&#39;s the #1 online ad platform in the world, with 26.4% of the market. In second place after Google is <b>Meta Platforms</b> (META), which has gained at Google&#39;s expense over the last decade, but is experiencing issues this year due to Apple&#39;s privacy changes and competition from TikTok. We can expect Google&#39;s moat to persist, because it benefitted from the very same Apple policy changes that hurt Meta, proving it has a resilient model competitors can&#39;t touch.</p><p>Next, we can look at Apple&#39;s moat. This stems from its brand (the most valuable in the world), which helps it retain customers, and its interconnected ecosystem, which encourages customers to buy multiple products. Apple has a huge fan community on YouTube, which helps it sell products without extra ad spend. As a result, Apple is #1 or #2 across multiple product categories, including:</p><ul><li><p>Smartphones- #2 after <b>Samsung</b> (OTCPK:SSNLF).</p></li><li><p>Smartphone operating systems- #1 by revenue, #2 byuser count.</p></li><li><p>Tablets- #1.</p></li><li><p>Smart watches- #1.</p></li><li><p>Computer operating systems - #2 after Windows.</p></li></ul><p>So we can see that Google and Apple both have high market share. Additionally, they have factors that can lead us to infer continued high market share-brand loyalty in Apple&#39;s case, a resilient ad platform in Google&#39;s case.</p><p>As for Microsoft?</p><p>It has some of the advantages that Apple and Google have, but not to the same extent. It controls Windows, the most popular computer operating system, but that product category has plateaued. It no longer has a meaningful presence in smartphones, as it failed in that market. In cloud services, it is #2 after Amazon. Finally, in gaming, it&#39;s second in hardware sales to <b>Sony&#39;s</b> (SONY) PlayStation 5, and owns the popular Minecraft IP. Microsoft has a pretty good competitive position, but it is not the #1 player in any growth sectors the way Apple and Google are.</p><p><b>Comparative Valuation</b></p><p>Having looked at Microsoft&#39;s competitive position, we can now turn to its valuation. MSFT remains a pretty expensive stock well into the 2022 bear market, and it may continue to be expensive for a while. To illustrate this fact, we can compare Microsoft&#39;s earnings multiples with those of Apple and Google.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67e868df6fdac980f7adad3c07e00ed8\" tg-width=\"938\" tg-height=\"328\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>As you can see, Apple is pretty similar to Microsoft, while Google is far cheaper. Valuation favors Google, it does not favor Apple, but recall the previous section on the competitive landscape: Apple&#39;s high brand loyalty makes it a very reliable company. It is not under any threat of margin compression due to new competitors entering the market, Microsoft arguably is.</p><p>As for Microsoft&#39;s valuation in a discounted cash flow model: it&#39;s hard to forecast the cash flows of a company with as many moving pieces as MSFT. However, if we start with the last 12 months&#39; $8.69 in free cash flow per share, and assume that it grows at the 10-year CAGR rate of 7.7%, we get to $12.59 in FCF per share after five years. Using a 3.25% discount rate (the current treasury yield), and assuming that growth falls to zero after five years, we get a present value of $379. That&#39;s a significant amount of upside, but remember that DCF models are very sensitive to inputs. Change the discount rate to 8% and suddenly the fair value falls to $150, which is severe downside. If you run this same model swapping out Microsoft&#39;s free cash flow for Google&#39;s, you get a fair value of $215, which implies 2X upside. Google also ends up worth less than today&#39;s price if you raise the discount rate to 8%, but the amount of downside (about 20%) is less.</p><p><b>Microsoft&#39;s Earnings</b></p><p>As I showed above, Microsoft has a steeper valuation than other tech companies you can compare it to. However, it has some advantages that other tech companies don&#39;t have. For example, it&#39;s still growing. In its most recent quarter, MSFT managed to achieve positive top and bottom line growth, posting the following results:</p><ul><li><p>Revenue: $51.9 billion, up 12%.</p></li><li><p>Operating income: $20.5 billion, up 14%.</p></li><li><p>Net income: $16.7 billion, up 2%.</p></li><li><p>Diluted EPS: $2.23, up 3%.</p></li></ul><p>Like many companies in the same period, Microsoft achieved solid revenue growth in Q2; however, unlike those other companies, it also had positive earnings growth. For a tech company to still be growing in 2022 after the Fed&#39;s many rate hikes and Apple&#39;s privacy changes is impressive. However, note that:</p><ul><li><p>Google&#39;s Q2 top line growth was higher than Microsoft&#39;s, at 13%.</p></li><li><p>Apple is doing a major product launch today that could boost its sales.</p></li></ul><p>Certainly, Microsoft is a good company. But when you look at Google&#39;s wider moat and Apple&#39;s potential catalyst, both of these stocks look like better opportunities.</p><p><b>Risks and Challenges</b></p><p>As I&#39;ve shown in this article, Microsoft is a good stock, but perhaps not the best in the tech sector. I personally think Apple and Google are more appealing. However, there are risks and challenges facing any investor who chooses to overweight Google and Apple at the expense of Microsoft, including:</p><ul><li><p><b>Concentration risk.</b> All investors are exposed to two types of risk: market risk and specific risk. Market risk is the risk inherent in the whole market, specific risk is the risk in any one stock. The more you diversify, the less your specific risk. A broadly diversified portfolio with thousands of stocks reduces your specific risk to near zero. When you increase your specific risk by holding a lower number of stocks, your total portfolio is said to have &#39;concentration risk.&#39; If you&#39;re considering investing in just tech stocks, a full &#39;FAANG&#39; portfolio that includes MSFT, AAPL, GOOGL and the rest of the NASDAQ-100 will have less concentration risk than a pure Apple/Google portfolio. It would still be exposed to market risk, but its overall risk would be lower than holding just Apple and Google.</p></li><li><p><b>A slowdown in consumer spending.</b> Despite the current economic contraction, consumer spending is still rising modestly. In this environment, there are plenty of people buying Apple products, and patronizing companies that advertise on Google. If we enter a full fledged recession, though, that will likely change. As economic activity dips, people start to worry about being laid off-they often cut their spending as a result. Should something like that happen, an enterprise-focused company like MSFT might fare better than Google and Apple, which are heavily invested in the consumer.</p></li></ul><p>The risks above are worth keeping in mind. If they concern you, then Invesco&#39;s QQQ ETF might suit you better than a concentrated Apple/Google bet. Nevertheless, it&#39;s hard not to notice that Google and Apple enjoy competitive advantages over Microsoft. That reason alone is enough for me to weight the former two stocks higher than the latter.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Microsoft: Why I Traded It In For Apple And Google</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nMicrosoft: Why I Traded It In For Apple And Google\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-08 11:11 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4539353-microsoft-stock-why-i-traded-for-apple-and-google><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryI sold my Microsoft stock last year at around $320.Initially, I re-invested the money in bank stocks, but when the NASDAQ crashed, I started putting it into Apple and Google.Microsoft still has...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4539353-microsoft-stock-why-i-traded-for-apple-and-google\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"GOOGL":"谷歌A","AAPL":"苹果","MSFT":"微软","GOOG":"谷歌"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4539353-microsoft-stock-why-i-traded-for-apple-and-google","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2265005862","content_text":"SummaryI sold my Microsoft stock last year at around $320.Initially, I re-invested the money in bank stocks, but when the NASDAQ crashed, I started putting it into Apple and Google.Microsoft still has better growth than Apple, but its whole story depends on one segment (the cloud).Microsoft's non-cloud segments aren't growing very fast.Because they have multiple growing segments instead of one, I consider Apple and Google better than Microsoft.Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images EntertainmentMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is a stock that I held through the 2020/2021 NASDAQ rally and managed to sell before it came crashing down. I bought it after reading about the company's success with Azure-the second fastest growing of the big tech cloud services. Alphabet's (GOOG) Google Cloud was growing faster than Microsoft's Azure at the time (54% vs. 42%), but Azure was profitable while Google Cloud wasn't. So I figured that MSFT was the safer cloud bet.When I bought MSFT, I was pretty much betting on Azure. When researching the stock, I discovered that its revenue growth in non-cloud businesses was slow, and that its valuation was expensive. Today, Microsoft only trades at 26.5 times earnings, but it was above 30 around the time I sold it. It has a sky-high 11.4 price-to-book ratio to this day.Around the end of 2021 I knew that the Federal Reserve was planning on hiking interest rates, so I sold the two most expensive stocks in my portfolio: MSFT and Adobe (ADBE). The timing on those sales was pretty good because I booked gains on both (33% on MSFT and 20% on ADBE), while limiting my exposure to the tech bear market. Shortly after these sales, I wrote the article \"The Tech Stock Crash Will Likely Get Worse,\" which explained my reasons for being bearish on tech stocks. After the article published, the NASDAQ-100 fell a further 28%.NASDAQ trading after I predicted a tech crash (Google Finance)Initially, I invested the proceeds I got from selling Microsoft into classic value plays: banks and energy stocks. I figured that rising interest rates would help banks earn more money while the economic recovery from COVID-19 would boost energy stocks. I was only half right about the first part (rising interest rates helped retail banks but not investment banks), I was 100% correct about the second part. At any rate, I booked some small profits on energy stocks and didn't buy anything new for a while after that.Later, though, I started thinking about getting into tech stocks again. After watching the NASDAQ-100 tumble, I noticed that valuations were getting cheap. In particular, I noticed that Google had gone all the way down to 20 times earnings, despite still having double digit revenue growth, while Apple was gaining market share in China. Apple was on the pricey side at that point, but not as much as Microsoft (it traded at around 24 times earnings). So, I added some GOOGL and AAPL-the former stock has fallen about as much as Microsoft, the latter has given me a gain.None of this is to say that I'm actively bearish on Microsoft. I still hold the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), which has a high level of MSFT exposure. However, factoring in price, competitive dynamics, and growth, I find Google and Apple to be better bets. In the ensuing paragraphs, I'll explain why I think that way.Competitive LandscapeOne area where Google and Apple both have an edge over Microsoft is competitive dynamics. Google and Apple both have wide moats, Microsoft's position relative to competitors is less robust.First, we can look at Google's moat. It's the #1 online ad platform in the world, with 26.4% of the market. In second place after Google is Meta Platforms (META), which has gained at Google's expense over the last decade, but is experiencing issues this year due to Apple's privacy changes and competition from TikTok. We can expect Google's moat to persist, because it benefitted from the very same Apple policy changes that hurt Meta, proving it has a resilient model competitors can't touch.Next, we can look at Apple's moat. This stems from its brand (the most valuable in the world), which helps it retain customers, and its interconnected ecosystem, which encourages customers to buy multiple products. Apple has a huge fan community on YouTube, which helps it sell products without extra ad spend. As a result, Apple is #1 or #2 across multiple product categories, including:Smartphones- #2 after Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF).Smartphone operating systems- #1 by revenue, #2 byuser count.Tablets- #1.Smart watches- #1.Computer operating systems - #2 after Windows.So we can see that Google and Apple both have high market share. Additionally, they have factors that can lead us to infer continued high market share-brand loyalty in Apple's case, a resilient ad platform in Google's case.As for Microsoft?It has some of the advantages that Apple and Google have, but not to the same extent. It controls Windows, the most popular computer operating system, but that product category has plateaued. It no longer has a meaningful presence in smartphones, as it failed in that market. In cloud services, it is #2 after Amazon. Finally, in gaming, it's second in hardware sales to Sony's (SONY) PlayStation 5, and owns the popular Minecraft IP. Microsoft has a pretty good competitive position, but it is not the #1 player in any growth sectors the way Apple and Google are.Comparative ValuationHaving looked at Microsoft's competitive position, we can now turn to its valuation. MSFT remains a pretty expensive stock well into the 2022 bear market, and it may continue to be expensive for a while.

The LUNA crypto saw perhaps the most dramatic collapse ever, with prices plummeting nearly 100%. The coin serves as a bleak reminder of just how quickly projects can turn sour.</p><p>But developers are not giving up yet: The project’s leads are turning to community proposals once again to right the wrongs that led to this point. Moreover, they are providing updates on LFG’s crypto reserves.</p><p>To quickly recap, Terrafell apart last weekafter its stablecoin <b>TerraUSD</b>(<b>UST-USD</b>) lost its $1 peg. The algorithmic stablecoin is supposed to automatically fluctuate in supply as a way to keep prices at $1. Unfortunately, this did not work, and UST prices spiraled. This in turn affects LUNA, since it is an integral part of the UST algorithm and the main token on the Terra network. The de-pegging turned into a rapid plunge for both coins. As it stands now, UST is trading at about 10 cents and LUNA dropped from nearly $80 to less than a half of 1 cent.</p><h2>LUNA Crypto Turnaround Plans Heat Up</h2><p>In the wake of the disaster, users have lots of questions. Most notably, they want to know what happened to the billions of dollars worth of crypto assets in the LFG’s reserve wallet. They also want to know what’s next for the LUNA crypto. Luckily, they are getting at least some answers this week.</p><p>The LFG, an organization that oversees development of the Terra network, posted a Twitter thread this morningdetailing its reserve balance. This reserve, which cropped up in early 2022 after a separate UST de-pegging, is comprised of billions of dollars in assets. It includes a stash of over 80,000 <b>Bitcoin</b>(<b><u>BTC-USD</u></b>). Accumulated for the purpose of deploying in case of emergency, developers seem to have put nearly the entire portfolio into action to little effect.</p><p>According to this report, the LFG deployed over 99% of its Bitcoin, a stash of 80,394. 46,876 BTC went to a “professional market maker.” This market maker then deployed the Bitcoin on behalf of LFG to buy up UST. The LFG sold another 33,206 Bitcoin to buy even more UST later last week,bringing total BTC reserves to just 313.</p><p>Thanks to this data, we can see just how many resources the LFG threw at the LUNA crypto. Interestingly enough, the reserve also holds large amounts of <b>Binance</b>(<b><u>BNB-USD</u></b>) and <b>Avalanche</b>(<b><u>AVAX-USD</u></b>). It did not sell any of these BNB or AVAX holdings.</p><p>Last week, theprice of AVAX fell steeplyas investors anticipated a dump of the $100 million stash the LFG held.</p><h2>What’s Next for LUNA? Developers Prepare to Reimburse Holders.</h2><p>In the wake of the meltdown, it seems that developers are going to put the most affected LUNA crypto holders at the forefront of the rebuild.

The LUNA crypto saw perhaps the most dramatic collapse ever, with prices plummeting nearly 100%. The coin serves as a bleak reminder of just how quickly projects can turn sour.But developers are not giving up yet: The project’s leads are turning to community proposals once again to right the wrongs that led to this point. Moreover, they are providing updates on LFG’s crypto reserves.To quickly recap, Terrafell apart last weekafter its stablecoin TerraUSD(UST-USD) lost its $1 peg. The algorithmic stablecoin is supposed to automatically fluctuate in supply as a way to keep prices at $1. Unfortunately, this did not work, and UST prices spiraled. This in turn affects LUNA, since it is an integral part of the UST algorithm and the main token on the Terra network. The de-pegging turned into a rapid plunge for both coins. As it stands now, UST is trading at about 10 cents and LUNA dropped from nearly $80 to less than a half of 1 cent.LUNA Crypto Turnaround Plans Heat UpIn the wake of the disaster, users have lots of questions. Most notably, they want to know what happened to the billions of dollars worth of crypto assets in the LFG’s reserve wallet. They also want to know what’s next for the LUNA crypto. Luckily, they are getting at least some answers this week.The LFG, an organization that oversees development of the Terra network, posted a Twitter thread this morningdetailing its reserve balance. This reserve, which cropped up in early 2022 after a separate UST de-pegging, is comprised of billions of dollars in assets. It includes a stash of over 80,000 Bitcoin(BTC-USD). Accumulated for the purpose of deploying in case of emergency, developers seem to have put nearly the entire portfolio into action to little effect.According to this report, the LFG deployed over 99% of its Bitcoin, a stash of 80,394. 46,876 BTC went to a “professional market maker.” This market maker then deployed the Bitcoin on behalf of LFG to buy up UST. The LFG sold another 33,206 Bitcoin to buy even more UST later last week,bringing total BTC reserves to just 313.Thanks to this data, we can see just how many resources the LFG threw at the LUNA crypto. Interestingly enough, the reserve also holds large amounts of Binance(BNB-USD) and Avalanche(AVAX-USD). It did not sell any of these BNB or AVAX holdings.Last week, theprice of AVAX fell steeplyas investors anticipated a dump of the $100 million stash the LFG held.What’s Next for LUNA? Developers Prepare to Reimburse Holders.In the wake of the meltdown, it seems that developers are going to put the most affected LUNA crypto holders at the forefront of the rebuild. The LFG is going to compensate small holders after their investments shrank to nearly $0.Alongside its reserves report, Terra developers say they are working on a plan toredistribute the remaining LFG funds to users, from smallest wallets upward.
