Ann: Appendix 3B, page-21

What do you expect, pal? All companies go through a phase when they have to take on more debts before they can make profits out of their commodities or services. Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon etc., all went through that phase. I am not saying Axiom will become any of those companies; but if you want to give yourself a chance of making multibagger gains in buying Microsoft, you did it in 1980s. If you want a blue chip stock with normally no more than 10% per annum gains, you buy Microsoft today. Assess your risk category and take your position accordingly. This is not advice.

And mind you, plenty of people have lost plenty of money on blue chips like BHP and the likes. There are very few guarantees in life, stock market play is not known to be one of them, at least in short term.
