After numerous issues with operating system Vista, the failure of the Zune to catch on, and the failed takeover bid for Yahoo, is Microsoft's stock still a good play going forward?
Karen Finerman believes that the company's cash flow and "impenetrable" balance sheet combined with its valuation make it a good stock to own.
Microsoft has more than $20 billion in cash on hand and is trading at a 5 year low in P/E.
Jeff Macke wants to love Microsoft so much, but he says that Microsoft along with Sony is a company that gets the least amount of the greatest number of assets it owns.
Guy Adami is going to continue to own Microsoft and thinks the valuation is compelling.
Tim agrees that the valuation looks very good.
