Stock prices are about whether investors are happy, not about whether the company is actually doing well.

  ... Guess what makes investors happy?

    Profits. Liquidating MS holdings would also increase profits for a short term gain.

      Actually if Microsoft liquidated its holdings its stock would drop like a rock... Investors know how compounding works and put a high price on growth, if you send the message that there is no future growth you suddenly are valued at what's in the bank.
