By the same token, though, it's also not certain that inflation won't rise faster than 10%.\nNow what\nGranted, the Federal Reserve will probably work to get inflation rates under control, but even there, the news isn't all great because the Fed's primary tool for containing inflation is raising interest rates.\nThe Fed is meeting today and tomorrow, by the way, to set policy on inflation (and interest rates). If they decide to raise rates, then that's likely to slow the economy and potentially also slow the rate at which Microsoft's profits are expected to grow -- which would result in no net benefit to Microsoft's real earnings growth.\nThis, in a nutshell, is why Microsoft closed the day down and why $82.5 billion worth of Microsoft's market capitalization just went up in smoke.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"MSFT":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":6987234,"gmtCreate":1639535863045,"gmtModify":1639535863078,"authorId":3572697049328629,"author":{"id":3572697049328629,"idStr":"3572697049328629","authorId":3572697049328629,"name":"Someonelse","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/565912489d2649d83bea8e52f43f2e6c","vip":1,"crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":607651175,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Ok","text":"Ok","html":"Ok"},{"id":6987171,"gmtCreate":1639535674015,"gmtModify":1639535674091,"authorId":4090202748844200,"author":{"id":4090202748844200,"idStr":"4090202748844200","authorId":4090202748844200,"name":"BotakTur","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fbfb7690052b45745da7270aa672c42d","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":607651175,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"K","text":"K","html":"K"}],"langContent":"CN"},{"id":607653692,"gmtCreate":1639535622068,"gmtModify":1639535665145,"author":{"id":"3585354270249282","authorId":"3585354270249282","name":"MuppyKoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/280b63f52e5976fb134c31bfb22ec07d","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3585354270249282","idStr":"3585354270249282"},"htmlText":"Please like","listText":"Please like","text":"Please like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/607653692","repostId":1165597848,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165597848","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1639535034,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1165597848?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-15 10:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Microsoft Stock Dropped","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1165597848","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"What happened\nMicrosoft(NASDAQ:MSFT)shares closed 3.3% lower on Tuesday after the U.S. Department of","content":"<p><b>What happened</b></p>\n<p><b>Microsoft</b>(NASDAQ:MSFT)shares closed 3.3% lower on Tuesday after the U.S. Department of Labor reported that producer price inflation hit a historic high in November, up 9.6% from a year ago.
