>Also, their stock price has been basically flat for 10 years. That tells you what the market thinks of Microsoft.
If you consider MSFT stock price to have been flat over the last 10 years, then the market itself has essentially been flat over the last 10 years.
MSFT stock is up 20% over the last 10 years.
The S&P 500 is up 26% over the last 10 years.
That's not that big of a difference when considering (1) the immense volatility that we gone through over the last two boom and bust cycles and (2) some large portion of that 26% S&P 500 gain is Apple's 100x increase in split adjusted stock price.
