Questions about MSFT

What people ask.

Why is MSFT on Broken Stocks?

MSFT qualifies for the Amber List on decline sigma. The recent drop measures 1.7σ over a 10-bar window — large enough that even a small percentage drop is structurally significant given the stock's typical day-to-day volatility (3.81%).

Is MSFT a falling knife?

MSFT is on Broken Stocks for time-frame continuity or decline-sigma reasons rather than headline depth, so the falling-knife label doesn't cleanly apply. The phrase usually requires a meaningful percentage drop from a fresh high. See the structural break signals above for the axis that actually triggered the listing.
