However, MSFT made it through the tech bubble, it made it through the recession and has made it through a period of handheld devices when many people thought they were too late to the party. <br /><br />It is my opinion at this time that they are starting to take some market share with their Surface products and their XBOX is another avenue where there could be untapped potential. Both of which just add to their incredible revenue sources from licensing products.<br /><br />We shall see how things work out! If they start to change, and MSFT goes the way of AOL or Blackberry, you may come back to this post and say "I told you so" :)<br /><br />Thanks for commenting, looking forward to your input in the future!ADDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258208917142939036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837687243407973220.post-25408204879888895882015-01-16T18:21:50.444-08:002015-01-16T18:21:50.444-08:00Yea, I happened to get in initially at a much bett...Yea, I happened to get in initially at a much better price, but with the recent sideways trend and catalysts on the way to perhaps propel the stock further, I think it is a good purchase.<br /><br />Hopefully oil prices stabilize soon and CVX is better able to adjust their operations so they can continue doing what they do... raise dividends for decades!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping byADDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258208917142939036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837687243407973220.post-2102202845480012642015-01-16T15:57:29.870-08:002015-01-16T15:57:29.870-08:00Thank you for sharing your recent buys with us. I ...Thank you for sharing your recent buys with us. I can appreciate the CVX and KMI buys as energy is definitely offering some great buys in recent months but I am not into the MSFT trade. I don;t care for any tech company in my long term dividend growth portfolio. Things can change too quickly and never come back. At one time AOL was the Internet for many people. Where is it today. Research in Motion with Blackberry was THE mobile device that everyone carried. Where is it today? Just my two cents.DivHuthttp://divhut.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837687243407973220.post-88418162061610027102015-01-16T13:30:39.363-08:002015-01-16T13:30:39.363-08:00You're right, not many own MSFT, but it is loo...You're right, not many own MSFT, but it is looking good right now!

So quickly companies can go in and out of favor but MSFT is one of those companies that I believe will be generating substantial revenues/earnings for years to come. The licensing side alone is a great enterprise and it seems their products are starting to catch on.<br /><br />Volatility can be a good thing as long as you think the company will keep growing. Could mean getting in at cheaper prices!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!ADDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258208917142939036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837687243407973220.post-73943362906658149012015-01-16T12:25:23.656-08:002015-01-16T12:25:23.656-08:00ADD,

Just a cash cow with all of its licensing and products. My continued fear over tech leaves me leery about long-term investments in the sector, perhaps to my own detriment. <br /><br />Happy to be a fellow shareholder in CVX and KMI. They're both well-positioned for future demand in energy, though not without volatility along the way.<br /><br />Cheers!Dividend Mantrahttp://www.dividendmantra.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837687243407973220.post-75701750319237382562015-01-15T17:10:28.101-08:002015-01-15T17:10:28.101-08:00Thanks!

That means there is plenty more potential for rewarding shareholders in the future!

Not many dividend investors own MSFT, but I love the company, its balance sheet, and it has really rewarded shareholders in recent years with big dividend raises. CVX at 4%+ is great and KMI is a beast!<br /><br />Great job!<br /><br />MDPMy Dividend Pipelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105884431032493602noreply@blogger.com
