Microsoft's Ascendancy and Market Dynamics

Microsoft taking the spot as the largest company in the world is a good reminder that sometimes it takes a while for big names to turn it around. We explain why and talk about how IBM and Comcast could have good times ahead.

(00:21) Bill Mann and Andy Cross discuss:

- Microsoft crossing $3T and surpassing Apple as the largest publicly traded company.

- Alibaba’s co-founders buying up $200M shares, and the state of investing in China.

- Tesla’s tough, but predictable quarter, big subscriber growth from Netflix, and why IBM is a sneaky AI play.
