Microsoft announces $40 bil share buyback

I pity anyone who bought Microsoft shares.

I pity anyone who bought Microsoft shares.

Why? They're still getting dividends since it's still a profitable company. They control the business sector, and that won't be changing for awhile since businesses tend to be conservative.

Tiny rise for such a big programme.

I don't exactly pity the fool who bought Microsoft stock. If you bought $10,000 of its stock in 1985, it would be worth $3,000,000 now.
