Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) could be a good investment for investors who like to sleep at night. Microsoft has a sideways oriented graph. For the last year it has flowed up and down 5 times with a maximum variation between $24 and $29. The last three ups and downs are getting shorter and are down to a $3 variation.
But why would anyone want a stock that just goes up and down without it seriously going up? Well one answer is the dividend. It has been paying 16% which is pretty good compared to treasury bonds. A second answer is that the company earns very well. The third answer is that Microsoft is a leader in a field that supports technological advance and that’s what business is willing to pay for.
