Everyone knows Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT). It’s one of the largest and best-recognized companies in the world. I’m writing this note in Microsoft Word on a computer running Microsoft Windows. And if you’re reading this on a computer or smartphone, there’s a good chance it went to a Microsoft Outlook email inbox. Microsoft is also a leader in cloud computing, second only to Amazon in that space. It’s hard to imagine a world in which Microsoft doesn’t exist! The massive software company has also made investors an insane amount of money over the past 10 years leading up to this year’s bear market. In the decade ending on December 31, 2021, MSFT shares returned an astounding 1,500%! It’s one of the greatest success stories of our time. Now let’s look at that same company when it was still just a baby. In 1981, Microsoft launched MS-DOS, its old-school text-command-based operating system. It followed that up with the first version of Microsoft Windows in 1985 — and then went public in 1986. In its first 10 years as a public company, Microsoft shares returned 6,980%, more than quadrupling returns in the decade leading up to 2021. How was MSFT able to generate such massive returns? It’s all about size.

| Chart of the Day Bear markets can lead to devastating losses for growth investors who buy stocks they believe will be market leaders in the future. Some growth will come from new markets. For example, electric scooter rentals have appeared on many city streets in recent years. Users unlock the scooters with their phones. Costs are low, just a few dollars to rent a device. They leave the scooter at their destination. When the battery needs recharging, the company sends someone to pick up the scooter. Today’s chart shows the new market like the electric scooter business is in trouble.
