Why Bill Gates Just Invested $9 Billion in Microsoft Stock

When Bill Gates, one of the richest men on earth, makes a $9 billion investment, people take notice. Especially, when that investment is in Microsoft stock. That’s right, the same business he co-founded and turned into one of the most successful companies in the world. Despite Microsoft being the overwhelming source of Gate’s fortune, he hasn’t actually owned very much of the stock in recent years. Today, I’m going to explain the story behind Gates' latest investment and his long history with Microsoft stock.

Comment Below if you think Gates should have never sold his Microsoft stock?

The stock market rally run is gone, but I'm not sure if equities will swiftly recover, keep falling or swing in a narrow range for a few weeks, or if things will quickly get worse. I'm under pressure to increase my $250k reserve.

Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.

Investing in the stock market & crypto market is the best option to make a passive income. Virtually all the markets are crazy, most people pay more attention to the shiniest position on the graph, I'm keeping a diversified portfolio. !!!

Microsoft is one of only two AAA rated companies in the USA. Which is higher rating than US gov bonds.

*I came here to learn how to trade after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $560, 000 in 4 months from $1660k. Somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas*

Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. hence I will suggest you get yourself a financial- advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist

Microsoft's involvement with openai could make steve ballmer the wealthiest man in the world soon.

Very telling. I’m glad MSFT is one of the largest holdings in my portfolio.

That $9 Billion must be the profits from Gate's short position in tesla stock :)

I wonder what the best opportunities to invest now are, there are opinions but a little later I find out these opinions don't matter as a totally different turn of events play out with the stocks they discussed therein...

He bought these stocks back because Microsoft is buying ChatGPT for 10 Billion and is expecting to 100x this investment after incorporating ChatGPT with Bing.

[lighttravel]

I checked if he really bought latley and could not find anything about it. Is this true?

[colemeeker]

Microsoft buys 49% of openAI and a week later Bill Gates bumps it up. I’m buying Microsoft.

As an investor your focus should be on cryptocurrency bitcoin to be precise as it have jumped 15.5% this year so far it has lots of grounds t cover and lots of profits to be be made trading. It is not advisable to go into the market unguided as it have shone to be a wrong move multiple time, I for one can testify as i lost thinking i can do it myself with the help of Juliann Hart I was able recover and earn over 7 bitcoin last year when the market was in bear cycle. This year profit will definitely be higher..

I thought Microsoft was turning into a giant stagnant company, too big to innovate, sort of like the path IBM took. Except recently Microsoft’s involvement with OpenAI has drastically changed my opinion. I am now very excited to see what Microsoft can do by integrating OpenAI’s technology into their products (just please make it easy to enable/disable bloat / data-mining). This may seem like a silly use of such powerful AI technology, but I really want to play Minecraft with NPC characters who can behave believably human and hold a conversation (or even generate unique interesting quests on the fly).

I can't find any other source about this investment, can you share some?

[travismartinson]

I didn't see any AAPL or TSLA in the Gates Foundation lol.

Smart purchase. Buy stock in one of the world's most valuable companies, when as Warren Buffett would say, buy when others sell. There is minimum upside of 50% on this stock in coming years.

I've been unsure about the market due to volatility, at the same time I still feel it's the right time to make profit cos of the price decrease, heard someone speaking of making over $500k since the lockdown and I'm driven to ask what techniques/skillset is needed to achieve this
