Michael Kamerman, CEO of Skilling, shares his opinion on what stock you should buy this week.

Microsoft

In light of recent political triggers, markets are more prone than ever to volatility. For investors, it’s best to focus on big companies during this – given their high transparency and rigid business models.

Valued at over $2 trillion, Microsoft is a great example of a robust company. However, even the most robust companies are vulnerable to market volatility, as shown by shares falling by over 22% from the highs of $311 before rallying to $303.

Whilst buying during the dip has been a winning strategy for investors in the past, they need to exercise extra caution given the impact of political triggers on stocks currently. The stock market is facing heightened pressure and as a result, stocks aren’t performing in line with investors’ expected patterns. This means investors need to be certain they’re making rational and realistic decisions, rather than following the zeitgeist. 

Despite this, Microsoft stock is still a sustainable choice for investors given its track record of healthy returns. Also, given the growth runway, Microsoft can reap from the cloud, there’s a great opportunity for extra revenue for the company. By considering gaming and the emerging metaverse, the company can also look at expanding its offerings exponentially.
