Some of you have completely lost touch with reality.

I can’t believe how disconnected some people here have become. There’s someone in this subreddit regretting their investment in Microsoft because it “only” gained 20% in a year. Let me remind you that this is one of the largest companies in the world, with a market cap in the trillions. A 20% increase for a company like Microsoft is monumental! Do you realize how much money that is in actual dollars?

Yes, I get it—crypto and Nvidia have spoiled you with their ridiculous, lottery-like returns of 10,000% in a few years. But acting like a 20% gain is somehow “worthless” or not enough shows how distorted the expectations here have become.

If you had invested $10,000 in Microsoft 10 years ago, you’d be sitting on over $90,000 today—and that’s not even considering dividends or reinvestments. If you had added just $150 monthly to your position over the past 10 years, your portfolio would be worth hundreds of thousands now. That’s the power of consistent investing in real, reliable growth companies.

Microsoft is a rock-solid investment. Not every stock needs to pump 10,000% to be worth holding. Some of you need to take a deep breath and look at the long game, not just your short-term greed.
