If You're Bullish Here, Just Have a Look at Microsoft

With a market cap still over $1.8 trillion (with a T!) as I write this, Microsoft clearly remains one of the most epic winners from the QE/ZIRP era, as fund managers and retail alike constantly piled into the name and equated it to one of the safest financial assets on Planet Earth.
