Microsoft reports first loss....

Microsoft corporation has reported its first loss since going public. What does this message send to the world? The boom period in the Technology sector is over for now. The days of double digit growth quarter-on-quarter is history. People still throng this sector with big dreams, there are many children who are forced to take up IT as their career, only to find themselves in dismay when they approach the job market which at present is highly competitive in this sector. 

There was a time when every INFY result would spur its stock price higher, now all of are witness to the direct opposite of what we had seen a few years back. Every new result is bringing the stock price lower and lower. But, still when we come across people buying this stock to average their portfolio and build dreams to make profit from this investment, it may happen, but not with the same euphoric returns which these stocks offered a few years back. And if the positions have to be liquidated with profit, it needs a long wait.

The same amounts invested in a real growth stock will provide opportunities of double or triple returns. Think and invest in the best stock, do not become emotional or sentimental, don't chase a stock for gains, it should offer to be taken by us. Wait for the right opportunity, markets are abundant with opportunities.
