Microsoft
Microsoft - Long PositionThere's A Lot To Like About Microsoft's Upcoming US$0.62 Dividend. The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.62 per share, and in the last 12 months, the company paid a total of US$2.48 per share. Last year's total dividend payments show that Microsoft has a trailing yield of 0.9% on the current share price of $261.12. Dividends are an important source of income to many shareholders, but the health of the business is crucial to maintaining those dividends. That's why we should always check whether the dividend payments appear sustainable, and if the company is growing.
Microsoft Stocks will be BullishMicrosoft's Stocks is in a Descending Channel and Now the Price is at the Bottom of that Channel. The Price Will Start to Increase to the Top of the Channel Pretty Soon because the Fact that It is at the Bottom of the channel, makes it enough Reason to Increase and also we have a Regular Bullish Divergence on MACD Indicator as well Which is also another Reason for Us to Think about Bullish Stuff!

Microsoft - Time to Buy the Dip? Still the undefeated software giant Microsoft , top 3 company of the world has corrected for 25%, nearly as much as we have seen in March 2020.
Is it time to buy?
Fundamental indicators:
Revenue and Profits - consistent strong growth for the past 10 years
Profit margin - impressive 35% in 2021
P/E - although still above the norms with 27x ratio it can be considered by many very much acceptable for this highly effective company
Liabilities - no problems with debt
Technical Analysis (Elliott Waves):
The rapid drop in March 2020 has completed correction that has been observed for nearly year and a half and formed by a Running Flat
Since then Microsoft has enjoyed an explosive growth with over 150% increase in an impulse movement
And having peaked at $350 there is another correction developing now
Given the rank of this highly sought after stock it is possible to assume that this correction is going to be similar to the previous one and the depth is not going to exceed 0.382 Fibonacci retracement of wave 3, i.e. not lower than $230, and it will also be shaped as a Running Flat
Duration of this running correction is likely to be longer than the previous one lasting at least till end of 2023 followed by another rocket-like movement to the moon
What do you think about the prospects for Microsoft ?
Please share your thoughts in the comments and like this idea if you would like to see more stocks analysed using Elliott Waves.

Will Microsoft let itself be affected by negative events? ⚔️We tend to see triangles everywhere, we realize that this may be redundant for some, but all modes of chartist analysis are good to go.
We also realize that the triangle Microsoft is forming is not the prettiest, but if it is truly a compression triangle, then we could be looking at an upside breakout.
Only time will tell, I must admit that taking positions in these complicated times for everyone is a risky bet, which may or may not be taken for a good performance.
Only two paths are possible, but which one will Microsoft choose?

Microsoft is a rock. No doubt. But i feel like that the stock is priced for perfection and if earnings do not constantly surprise investors, then we could see a strong move downward. Especially when we think FED will increase rates and decrease money supply.
MSFT p/e is only 29 which is pretty low for a tech company but its market cap 2.1 trillion dollars. It is %10 of US GDP and around %2,5 of worlds GDP.
How much more can it grow? Where is the line for a company to be too big?
Right now FED is increasing rates and decreasing money supply which is not good for stock market.
This year we can experience that big techs, such as Google, MSFT, Apple is overvalued for this kind of economic policies.
Lets take a look at important price levels.
Support levels
280
266
241
If we cant keep 280 levels as support, fast downward movement to 266 and 241 is possible.
Resistance leves
299
On the upside if we can breakout of 299 level, it is possible for more increase.
Price targets are
310
320
350
Thanks

Why We Must Use Stop Loss ?! And What The Stop Loss Mean What Is a Stop-Loss Order?
A stop-loss order is an order placed with a broker to buy or sell a specific stock once the stock reaches a certain price. A stop-loss is designed to limit an investor's loss on a security position. For example, setting a stop-loss order for 10% below the price at which you bought the stock will limit your loss to 10%. Suppose you just purchased Microsoft (MSFT) at $20 per share. Right after buying the stock, you enter a stop-loss order for $18. If the stock falls below $18, your shares will then be sold at the prevailing market price.
Stop-limit orders are similar to stop-loss orders. However, as their name states, there is a limit on the price at which they will execute. There are then two prices specified in a stop-limit order: the stop price, which will convert the order to a sell order, and the limit price. Instead of the order becoming a market order to sell, the sell order becomes a limit order that will only execute at the limit price (or better).
Stop-Loss Orders Are Also a Way to Lock In Profits
Stop-loss orders are traditionally thought of as a way to prevent losses. However, another use of this tool is to lock in profits. In this case, sometimes stop-loss orders are referred to as a "trailing stop." Here, the stop-loss order is set at a percentage level below the current market price (not the price at which you bought it). The price of the stop-loss adjusts as the stock price fluctuates. It's important to keep in mind that if a stock goes up, you have an unrealized gain; you don't have the cash in hand until you sell. Using a trailing stop allows you to let profits run, while, at the same time, guaranteeing at least some realized capital gain.
Continuing with our Microsoft example from above, suppose you set a trailing stop order for 10% below the current price, and the stock skyrockets to $30 within a month. Your trailing-stop order would then lock in at $27 per share ($30 - (10% x $30) = $27). Because this is the worst price you would receive, even if the stock takes an unexpected dip, you won't be in the red. Of course, keep in mind the stop-loss order is still a market order—it simply stays dormant and is activated only when the trigger price is reached. So, the price your sale actually trades at may be slightly different than the specified trigger price.
