Microsoft Shareholders Unhappy After Annual Meeting

Kozar_The_Malignant writes "Microsoft shareholders left today's annual meeting grumbling about the 15 minute Q&A period with Bill Gates and Steve Balmer and the lack of any real specifics about corporate direction. Many shareholders are concerned about Microsoft's static share price over the last decade."

    Anything that makes Microsoft or Microsoft shareholders unhappy is a good thing, IMHO.

    Until one considers people with a pension plan, IRA, or 401K. For many of these people with the later two they don't pick individual stocks, they pick funds that are managed by a "pro". Many of these funds own Microsoft.

    Wow. Expecting Microsoft to take care of them .. that's like socialism.

    I'll get my coat.

    The dividend is currently paying 3%.

    Investing in MSFT is like buying government treasuries, only the yield is higher and Microsoft is less likely to default.

    That's understandable. if I had to listen to either of them for more than 30 seconds I'd chew my own toes off.
