The Future of Microsoft!§  We  believe  that  Microso>  stock  

will  trade  over  $60  within  3  years  and  that  over  the  next  5  years  Microso>  will  re-­‐emerge  as  the  market’s  most  valuable  company.    

 §  The  catalyst    for  this  growth  

will  be  driven  by  a  market  dominance  in  enterprise  cloud  compuAng  and  high  value  tools  and  services  and  a  powerful  differenAaAng  plaOorm  of  Android  +  Windows  hybrid  devices.

An  alterna>ve  approach  to  naviga>ng  the  investment  ocean      Longboard  is  an  asset  management  firm  specializing  in  trend  following  strategies.  The  firm’s  principals  have  been  invesAng  in  and  researching  trend  following  strategies  since  the  late  1990s.      We  manage  both  private  investment  funds  and  mutual  funds  applying  our  trend  following  investment  style.      

     “Trends  come  like  a  series  of  ocean  waves,  bringing  the  high  Ade  when  things  are  good  and,  as  condiAons  recede,  the  low  Ade  appears.  These  trends  come  unexpectedly,  unpredictably,  and  they  have  to  be  weathered  with  temperance,  poise,  and  paAence-­‐  good  or  bad.”    Jesse  Livermore,  Reminiscences  of  a  Stock  Operator
