Is Microsoft’s AI CapEx creating a telecom-style capital-intensity risk?
Microsoft's escalating AI infrastructure capex mirrors telecom's capital-intensity trap: massive ongoing investments may not generate sufficient pricing power or ROIC, forcing either reduced shareholder returns (dividends/buybacks) or higher debt levels that will widen the gap between operating and net margins, ultimately pressuring shareholder value.

“Loaded up on Microsoft below $400; considering trimming or selling at current levels”
At what point are you trimming or selling all of your $MSFT?
Microsoft appears fairly valued relative to Google at current levels, with MSFT trading at a reasonable gap versus GOOG based on earnings and balance sheets. The author suggests trimming or reallocating MSFT holdings to other opportunities rather than holding indefinitely.
