Microsoft Stock Is Fairly Valued, but Azure’s Success Will Drive It Higher

By Thomas Niel, InvestorPlace Contributor

Consider the risks and valuation, but there may be more upside in the near-term.

Add in potential selling pressure from Privateer shareholders unloading their position, and there's too many fleas on this dog for my taste.
