MSFT
Microsoft Corporation
stock NASDAQ

I've posted this on a couple comments. Feels like it deserves its own comment.
Using the same data:
* AAPL is over $5000/share
* MSFT is over $1000/share
* Meta is over $4500/share
Basically this data seems to be saying something else. I'm sure that Institutional Value would be wrong (at least wrong in the way we believe it's calculated) for just about any ticker.
If you scroll down and look at the actual individual investors and do the same calculations you get a value much closer to the current share price for each of these companies, including GME.

Good job. I'd toss ARKK and substitute XSD or one of the other semiconductor ETFs.
I'd also suggest having one share of XLK and QQQ to just compare your whole portfolio against. QQQ could be a stand-in for META/GOOG/TSLA/AMZN/COST and XLK for AAPL/MSFT/NVDA/AMD. Longterm it is a good idea to have an industry base ETF (like QQQ and XLK for "tech") and then go heavier with individual stocks. You kinda do that by hoding SPY, but it is a pretty small part of your portfolio at this point.
Obviously you like tech, and so do I. Having some diversity beyond tech, like KO, is good but don't worry too much about it until you have at least $xx,xxx in the market.

It's not a bad strategy to trim some tax lots you have been buying when they kept moving lower once they rebound and reach the price you feel like you might have overpaid 6-12 months ago.
I tend to trade a little too much; but if I am buying 10-20 shares of $MOS or $HAL on every 10% dip, than you can be sure that I have also sold all the tax lots of $HAL that I had bought above $34-$36 when $HAL was last above $40 last fall.
Even if it was for only a 1 cent gain. You have to practice risk management as well.
If $AMD, $MSFT, etc keep running, you still hold a position to capture some of that upside.

I think of MSFT as the OG FAANG stock.
Also, they’re the only stock that’s maintained a position in the top ten by market cap for the past three straight decades.

MSFT, Apple, AMD. I'm near even to my cost basis so want to reduce their size in my portfolio. Would rather put money elsewhere.

An older friend of mine in WA put both his kids thru college on his early investments on MSFT

Our betters are destroying the middle and working class. We need real cuts to government, now. The reason banks are in crisis, is because of inflation(forcing interest hikes) caused by reckless spending, with no end in site. We need real cuts. Why is MSFT and FB laying off people, but the federal government is not?

I am in about the same as you minus the VWO. I am young so I have 10% in individual stocks such as MSFT, GOOG and O that I like in the long run I am young so I am okay with the slight risk increase.

Dividend funds only contain stocks that pay dividends, growth funds contain stocks that are predicted to or have previously increased in value above market averages.
A lot of the same stocks can be found in both types of funds (eg AAPL and MSFT) so dividend funds can increase substantially in value just like growth funds over time, but are built to provide dividend payouts first and foremost.

Bruh…. Valuations are not just about Tech and Innovations. It’s about ability to generate revenues and actually make profits, something which MSFT has.

BRKB, MA, SPGI, APPLE, AMAZON, GOOG, MSFT, UNH, UNP, ADP….. DCA into them and then retire early

AMZN \~3%, AAPL \~2%, MSFT \~2%. Tech making a comeback today

MSFT

I always thought MSFT was Umbrella Corp

I think there are 2 angles here.
1 - As many have mentioned, 5 separate companies will have tons of overlap especially in management/overhead and so that adds inefficiency.
2 - Someone else made a great reference to standard oil. When it was broken up into multiple companies, John Rockefeller became far wealthier than he ever would have if he had just owned standard oil.
So I think from an investing perspective, if you own GOOG, AMZN, MSFT it actually would be beneficial for them to break up. The units that are more valuable will likely result in higher stock prices whereas the less efficient units could later be acquired in other mergers that cannot happen while part of the parent company. When you see how BABA stock jumped, I think there may be something to this.

MSFT wore out 📉

So everytime I see posts like this, which is great, it would make sense to cross check other stocks in similar/dissimilar scenarios: AAPL, AMZN, MSFT etc, stocks that are typically held long and not under tons of short duress, then also the TSLA, AYY EM CEE, BB of the worlds that are under short duress to see what that looks like in relation. Make graph with crayon, post, swim in that sweet sweet karma
