Contest: Microsoft defeats eBay…

With 67% of the vote, Microsoft (MSFT) defeats eBay (EBAY). Microsoft will advance to the next round to face a yet to be determined opponent. I am in complete agreement with the description given by one of the voters (Soo Chin): This fight is like Joe …

As an undergrad student studying towards an analyst position, the Morningstar Analyst Research has been an invaluable tool to see what a CPA looks at in a financial services company, for example.

– Towards that regard, I do not agree with their assessments for FITB. Callahan far outweights their competitive advantages and their deposit market share will not be as high as he expects due to the competitive market looking forward into ‘06. While it is a great company and an interesting stock, their are certainly better large regional bank investments out their in the financials sector.

– The same could be said for JPM as well. While it is a huge diversified financial — I love their revenue breakdown throughout business segments as well — this stock is certainly not as aggressively situated when looking at its comparables. B of A would be a better investment, IMHO.

I’ve never been that impressed by Morningstar’s stock research, free or otherwise… Maybe that explains why they’re giving it away.

Mike -

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your opinion. I still think that Dell will eventually go the way of IBM and HP. They are a producer of a commodity item.

Microsoft software maybe clones of other products, but their products are now the defacto business standard for many applications. The real key to their competitive advantage is the Windows operating system.

I think Dell’s moat will remain intact.

On Microsft, most of thier stuff is cloned:

- Word from Wordperfect
- Excel from Lotus
- Xbox from Playstation
- Windows from Apple
- Internet Explorer from Netscape
- Micrsoft Money from Quicken
- MSN search from Google and Yahoo

The list doesn’t stop. I think Microsoft is too big to provide a meaningful return, MSN search has no chance at Google, Quicken is head and tails over Microsoft Money and Xbox is about even w/ the playstation.

Microsoft will be around for a long time, but it won’t grow very much during that time.
