Speaker 2: So let's get into this conversation.
Speaker 3: The first thing that I want to start with is
Speaker 3: a company that is near and dear to our hearts.
Speaker 3: Ian Ian's has been pre chating this company for a
Speaker 3: long time. So last week Microsoft made news by surpassing
Speaker 3: Apple and now has the largest market cap out of
Speaker 3: any country. So I think is a company company company
Speaker 3: is like a country or a lot of countries if
Speaker 3: it's like two point six trillion dollars in market cap. So,
Speaker 3: and you know, I made a post about how the
Speaker 3: stock has gone up since last year. It's up sixty percent.
Speaker 3: It's up like thirty percent in the last six months.
Speaker 3: Over the last ten years, Microsoft stock is up eleven
Speaker 3: one hundred percent. Of course, you know, Shout the nineteen
Speaker 3: Keys talked about the HoloLens of Microsoft, and now we're
Speaker 3: talking about metaverse things.
Speaker 4: Stvery episode. If you guys haven't seen.
Speaker 2: It classic, it's actually a classic.
Speaker 3: So I think I have to say it still surprises
Speaker 3: me that people overlook Microsoft and they always they don't
Speaker 3: give Microsoft, I don't think enough credit. So can we
Speaker 3: talk about Microsoft? What does this mean? And why don't
Speaker 3: people fully appreciate Microsoft.
Speaker 5: It's pretty bland, right, It's like the old consistent company
Speaker 5: that never goes away, that just keeps innovating and keeps winning.
Speaker 5: And so it's it's easy to say, like, oh, I
Speaker 5: don't want to pay goods and they're always winning, but
Speaker 5: you should because this is staple and we said this,
Speaker 5: we told people, you know, I think we gave them
Speaker 5: a year warning. We said this is going to be
Speaker 5: the stock of twenty twenty one, said the decade, and
Speaker 5: they laughed. I know, I said twenty twenty like this
Speaker 5: is it, and I'm like, look, this is going to
Speaker 5: be it if you look at what they did last quarter,
Speaker 5: right A Zori and I want to pronounce.
Speaker 4: It, right? Is it Zori Zorayeah?
Speaker 5: They were up just the cloud service right because a
Speaker 5: lot of people don't really underestimate what cloud services do
Speaker 5: for a company, like what what AWS does for Amazon
Speaker 5: A Zori does for Microsoft. It was up forty seven
Speaker 5: percent this quarter, forty seven percent more than Google, which
Speaker 5: has YouTube, right forty seven percent. The revenue is out
Speaker 5: of this world. But the reason and I'll let you
Speaker 5: talk about Microsoft, but we got to go into the
Speaker 5: reason why maybe surpass them because a couple companies missed there.
Speaker 6: So I'll go into that after you talking. You got
Speaker 6: people have to realize and we talked about it with
Speaker 6: Nigerian and perception. People try to brand Microsoft as a
Speaker 6: boring company because of the Bomber years. You can make
Speaker 6: your argument after Tim Cook, Microsoft probably has the second.
Speaker 4: Best CEO in all of tech.
Speaker 6: I think that Microsoft will eventually have the number one
Speaker 6: cloud company. They in five or ten years, there'll be
Speaker 6: number one in healthcare. And as this race we talk
Speaker 6: about later in the metaverse, he's up. They're going to
Speaker 6: be prime to take that space over as well. And
Speaker 6: they haven't even announced their cryptocurrency project. This is like
Speaker 6: the moment for the culture when Jay came out with
Speaker 6: Hard Knock Life and everybody woke up and was like,
Speaker 6: whoa biggie wasn't next to him? Okay, this is like
Speaker 6: their Hard Knock Life moment. They haven't even made Blueprint
Speaker 6: one Black album yet.
Speaker 4: With their crypto project.
Speaker 6: I've been screaming two tech, two Index, Apple and Microsoft
Speaker 6: forever and even during the Bomber years when it was flat,
Speaker 6: that was a great time to build a base. I'm
Speaker 6: looking at the chart now. In twenty sixteen it was
Speaker 6: at fifty seven dollars and twenty eight cent is now
Speaker 6: at three twenty seven. They have thirty one percent for
Speaker 6: the year for a trillion dollar market cap company.
Speaker 4: Write this down.
Speaker 6: Best strategy is to invest in the number one player
Speaker 6: in the space. So number one crypto, number one real
Speaker 6: estate company, number one cloud, number one Tech, number one fintech.
Speaker 6: That's an easy formula to use, and Microsoft is not
Speaker 6: going to give up this position anytime soon.
Speaker 4: One of the greatest of all time.
Speaker 5: With our question, that's why I like that analogy who's
Speaker 5: the best MC's bigge jy Z and NAS And I
Speaker 5: was like, wait, who jay Z?
Speaker 4: Yeah, jay Z's been here. Yeah, so it's been here.
Speaker 5: NAS has been here for some piece of big But yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean, like, like you said, it's something that works
Speaker 5: so well that people doubt it, and it's been working
Speaker 5: so well, it's like, yeah, why would we invest in that?
Speaker 4: But we talked about there.
Speaker 6: I've never seen people turn down an easy thirty five
Speaker 6: percent in my life. I know everyone wants the ones
Speaker 6: to shoot up a thousand, but you don't want to
Speaker 6: risk associated with and if you've invested in this.
Speaker 5: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.
Speaker 5: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,
Speaker 5: and sure they definitely can be, but understanding of professionals
Speaker 5: routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little,
Speaker 5: day after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank,
Speaker 5: it might seem boring to save plan and make calculated
Speaker 5: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is
Speaker 5: what helps you live or more happily fulfilled life. P

Speaker 6: Put your money on Microsoft, Please put it in chat.
Speaker 6: If you've invested in Microsoft, have you ever woke up
Speaker 6: and been worried about your money.
Speaker 4: I know I haven't. I know I haven't not once
Speaker 4: yeah once.
Speaker 3: And Microsoft the heavy backer of XLM seller lumis.
Speaker 2: Yes, we talked about it that last week.
Speaker 3: So yeah, when you look at the company, you gotta
Speaker 3: look at all this other verticals that is that's involved
Speaker 3: with and Microsoft one of these companies that it's not
Speaker 3: the most exciting company in the world.
Speaker 2: I'll be honest.
Speaker 3: It has nowhere near the level of excitement that like
Speaker 3: Apple has. It's like Apple is like Nike and Microsoft
Speaker 3: is like rebound, Like, let's do it. I'm just saying
Speaker 3: it's level with excitement. Nobody's excited.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you still got that you got something.
Speaker 6: There are more There are more people excited over Sweetie
Speaker 6: than they were Michelle Obama. But Michelle Obama is more
Speaker 6: pieces and soul.
Speaker 2: You have to.
Speaker 6: We're recording one of your face, So Hi, so.
Speaker 4: Special go The only way if.
Speaker 6: I can make the argument that Microsoft hasn't branded themselves
Speaker 6: or rebranded themselves as sexier, so they can slowly take over,
Speaker 6: because if it wasn't for those Bamber years, that there
Speaker 6: would be no Apple. Like Bamber, I don't want anybody
Speaker 6: to go to jail, but he should be jailed for
Speaker 6: how bad his performance was while he was CEO of Apple.
Speaker 6: And we have to look at the founder. Steve was
Speaker 6: not better than Bill. They got ahead because Tim took
Speaker 6: over and Tim had an easier competitor in comparison. But
Speaker 6: if you look at Microsoft CEO in his beginnings, the
Speaker 6: humble beginnings, all the focuses on being better and not
Speaker 6: on the flashiness of.
Speaker 4: The company.
Speaker 6: Microsoft is what Tesla, what people want Tesla to be
Speaker 6: for sure?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tesla wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And so the reason and I wanted to talk about
Speaker 5: that really quickly, the reason why it became the number
Speaker 5: one company as far as market cap is because Apple
Speaker 5: missed on his urge.
Speaker 4: And so we talked about Apple and some of the things.
Speaker 5: But I want to put things into context, right when
Speaker 5: when people are talking about missing on revenue, they're really
Speaker 5: just missing on expectations that somebody has put out, like
Speaker 5: Wall Street has put out in expectation. But if you
Speaker 5: really peel back the numbers, right, I'm gonna run down
Speaker 5: to listen to this, all right, So the revenue was
Speaker 5: up twenty nine percent year over year. The iPhone numbers
Speaker 5: were up forty seven percent year over year. The service
Speaker 5: numbers were up twenty five percent year over year. The
Speaker 5: MacBook numbers were only up one point six percent year
Speaker 5: over year. Obviously we know what the supply chain issues
Speaker 5: that you know that that plays a major.
Speaker 4: Role in it.
Speaker 5: And then the iPad numbers were up twenty one percent
Speaker 5: year over year. So the numbers are still increasing. So
Speaker 5: people are like, wait, miss this numbers? Should we not
Speaker 5: be investing in Apple? No, no, folks, that's not what
Speaker 5: this means. Don't ever not invest in Apples?
Speaker 2: Wrong?
Speaker 5: No, Yeah, these companies are amazing companies. Yes, there will
Speaker 5: be times when they will miss in a quarter. This
Speaker 5: is one of those times. The same thing with with
Speaker 5: with Amazon. Yeah, amazonssag that like.
Speaker 6: Two Jordans and ninety six jordan on the same team
Speaker 6: if they missed one shot, are you swapping them out
Speaker 6: for Tim harderway like the shout of Tim hardaware, But
Speaker 6: you're not going to change them no matter what. So
Speaker 6: going back, I know we haven't done in a while
Speaker 6: with the basketball or that knowlogy, But if I can
Speaker 6: get the best three players of all time, I'm not
Speaker 6: gonna move. I don't care what comes on the court
Speaker 6: or what's available. Those are going to produce a year
Speaker 6: over year month after month. And for you business owners,
Speaker 6: I keep telling you who's going to produce more money
Speaker 6: for your company consistently? Apple, Microsoft, Tesla or the employees
Speaker 6: and consultants that you have. Now you know the answer,
Speaker 6: like I know the answer unless you got the kind
Speaker 6: of infrastructure that we have.
Speaker 4: Apple.
Speaker 6: Microsoft's crazy.
Speaker 3: My graduates from my school being forced.
Speaker 2: Back drop bag drop, Mike, drop backdrop.
Speaker 8: Coach, The energy out there felt different. What changed for
Speaker 8: the team today?
Speaker 7: It was the new game day scratches from the California
Speaker 7: Lottery players everything.
Speaker 2: Those games sent the team's energy through.
Speaker 8: The Are you saying it was the off field play
Speaker 8: that made the difference on the field.
Speaker 6: Hey, little play makes your day, and today it made
Speaker 6: the game. That's awfu Now, Coach.
Speaker 8: One more question played the new Los Angeles Chargers, San
Speaker 8: Francisco forty nine Ers and Los Angeles Rams scratchers from
Speaker 8: the California Lottery. A little play can make your day.
Speaker 8: Peace play responsibily. Must be eighteen years or older to
