Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) closed recently at $23.72 with a volume of 468671 X 100. My current rating on MSFT is "Buy."
When I rate a stock "buy," it means that the momentum indicators I follow are in full swing. I see a "buy" stock as one that is usually already in the process of trending higher from previously oversold levels.
A "buy" rated stock is one that I would want to buy. I'd be more inclined to buy it than wait for it to drop lower before I considered picking up any shares.
This is a stock that would have -- most likely -- been rated "Strong Buy" sometime in the recent past. Now, I'm waiting to see technical indications that the time to sell is near. The next rating along that path is a "Weak sell."
