Is microsoft stock going to go up soon?

Question

I have about 70 shares and i want to know if i should buy or sell now

Answer 1

MSFT has been hovering between 20-40 for the 10 years.  There was a brief run up to $60 but the majority of it's time, MSFT has been sitting around $30.  I think you should change the question from trying to predict the future of a stock to what signal via technical indicators or chart patterns do you use to determine the time to sell or buy.

Having those defined as a part of your trade plan is what sets apart the novice, frustrated inconsistent trade with the successful consistent trader.  It allows you to make decisions based upon a system you can repeat versus emotional decisions that are not repeatable.  

As I stated, looking at the chart, you can hold on to the fact that's there hard support @ 21ish.  As the previous poster stated (and I too am not an expert), the market appears to be in a long term bear market.  That doesnt bode well for any stock; however, the Tech stocks have been leading the market higher over the past month.  Yet, MSFT did not participate.  Finally, I dont think anything is going to happen with MSFT until the MSFT / YHOO deal is finalized one way or another

Answer 2

Well over all in my opinion (by which i'm no expert)

The market might be heading to lower lows in the short term.

The dow has broken its up trend, and I think the nasdaq is soon to follow.

This stock is already below the 50 day moving average, and thats not a good sign.

MSFT has a recent low of 27 back in march and it is trading near it.  If it breaks 27, the lower it will go.  

If it heads up, i think resistance may be at 29 and at 31.

Answer 3

i don't think it will break it resistant soon, microsoft having trouble with it Income and sales Growth for couple of years, no big buyers going to add money soon...
