| | How has the stock performed?
Investors need to know how a stock has performed relative to all other stocks. Generally they attempt to hold the market's top-performing securities -- those that have done better over the past year than the majority of stocks in their industrial group and all stocks in our database. Look for a positive trend in the 12-month, 6-month and 3-month periods.

Where is the stock's support and resistance?
Investors should note the average prices at which a stock traded over the
past 50- and 200-day periods. These "moving averages" tend to provide a
floor, or support, for stocks trading above them and a ceiling, or
resistance, for stocks trading below them. Stocks that sink below support
are in danger of further weakening; stocks that rise above resistance
have a shot at new highs.
- Microsoft current price: 28.07
- First resistance for Microsoft: 29.89 (50-day moving average)
- First support for Microsoft: 25.69 (200-day moving average)
