The short version
Joseph Carlson's selected Microsoft comments move from ownership and a premium valuation in September 2025 to an explicit bullish view in April 2026. He describes buying Microsoft when it is discounted and holding it when it is expensive, rather than selling solely because its valuation rises. On April 22 he calls the stock a fantastic buy and expects returns above the market. These excerpts document his stated approach and outlook; they do not establish his complete trading history or realized return.

What Joseph Carlson said, when

8:01 “I'm already in the green, and I've held Microsoft for a long time, but I agree with the comments. This one is a fantastic buy today. Microsoft likely will have compounded returns above the market going forward.”
How to read this
Quotes are short excerpts from Joseph Carlson's public YouTube videos, attributed to the speaker and linked to the timestamp. “Close that day” is MSFT's split-adjusted closing price on the day the video was published (New York time); if markets were closed that day, the last close before it. “Since” compares that close with the latest close on 2026-09-16. It is a price observation, not the creator's realized return, and not investment advice. How the price change is calculated. Next to it we show SPY, the ETF tracking the S&P 500, over the same two dates — so a move can be read against the market rather than on its own: why we compare with SPY. Each quote also carries a label — Named as a pick, Risk acknowledged, Reducing — describing what kind of statement it was: see what the labels mean.
