Could Microsoft Stock Help You Retire A Millionaire?
Many investors hope to build up a significant nest egg by the time they reach retirement age. It's not as hard as you might think to amass $1 million or more, given the right mix of time, steady deposits into your portfolio, and portfolio returns.
The return portion of this equation is important, as you'll want to at least match -- and ideally beat -- the returns of the wider market over long time periods. Most individual stocks will not deliver those market-thumping returns, however.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) might be a different story. Sure, the tech giant is already massive today and has created many millionaires since its founding in 1975. But owning the stock over the next several decades might help you move toward your retirement goals.
