A business should avoid holding too much stock to prevent tying up valuable capital that could be used for other investments or operational needs. Excess inventory can lead to increased storage costs, higher risk of obsolescence, and potential wastage, particularly in industries with perishable goods. Additionally, overstocking can create cash flow issues and reduce overall profitability by necessitating discounts to clear out unsold items. Maintaining optimal stock levels helps ensure efficiency and responsiveness to market demand.

What does the EPS tell an investor?

EPS means Earnings per Share. It is the company's earnings for a certain period--usually a quarter or a year--divided by shares outstanding. It could tell me a lot of things. Wall Street investors feel that there is a certain range in which a stock's earnings per share should be. If the EPS drops below that range, the company needs to do something to improve it, and there are two basic ways to do that: increase earnings or decrease the number of shares outstanding through a stock buyback or a reverse stock split. Increasing earnings is, of course, much better--decreasing the shares outstanding is a bandaid...one that's soaked in blood and has half the glue missing. EPS that's too high is bad too. That means either you're not putting enough money back into the company (when I worked for Home Depot, our stock took a serious hit because our EPS was too high; the analysts said our biggest problem was we had very outdated computers and it was slowing us down, and we should buy a lot of new automation to make the employees' jobs easier.) or you don't have enough stock outstanding and should do a stock split or another issue.

Why should you buy stock?

I can't think of a reason I'd want any Microsoft stock. It fluctuates way too much for my taste. Basically, any tech stock--especially this one--is way too volatile for me. Another answer is that it is simple, you shouldn't buy stock.

Why should you write a comprehensive business letter?

A business letter is for the purpose of communicating specific information and that information should be clearly stated. Comprehensive should not mean lengthy or densely written, it should mean that all information for the communication is included but nothing more. Trying to include too much or using too many words can be confusing to the recipient and may camouflage the purpose of the letter. A business letter should be comprehensive but concise.
