No, I'm just saying my large profit was mainly due to the pandemic. It so happens that the Microsoft Cloud Computing Platform helped people work from home, but of course that was just luck.

My managers gave me advice round about the time of the pandemic and the advice re MC ( because of MC Computing Cloud), a little before pandemic, turned out to be very lucrative largely due to the the pandemic which followed very soon after. You are obsessed by semantics but I do not have time to try and put you right anymore, or saying I may have phrased my post badly---carry on posting your stuff and I'll just ignore and enjoy my $ 47,000 profit ( which no-one has had a kind word to say anything about----and perhaps that's where envy enters the reasons for some of the awful posts aimed at me on this thread). Anyway, just keep posting away and I hope you find peace in doing so.

It's not semantics when your thread title is literally "Shares purchased as pandemic arrived and what happened to them". It doesn't sound quite as dramatic to say "shares I already owned a year before the pandemic and how are they now" One share wasn't bought during the pandemic and 2 others don't even exist. That's a bit more than a typo.

I am pleased for you with a good investment in Microsoft (one of my favourite companies and my job relies heavily on their success). I think a bit of baggage came with you to your thread though. We don't all have wealth managers and in this case they don't seem to have helped much if you only invested in Microsoft in 2019. The cloud story began in 2008 but by 2015 really started to take off. Most people here were likely invested in Microsoft, through simple index funds or active funds, through the whole of that time.

So more interesting to me at least is what investments did your wealth manager suggest during the spring of 2020 itself? Hopefully an experienced investor would have taken advantage of the crash to grab some bargains just before the work from home story began to play out.

People do post minor details and this doesn't always come across as normal, that happens online in other places too. People do not usually mean any harm in going into detail, detail is good reading.

We are all anonymous, so there cannot be any embarrassment, people just need to chill.
