If you chart them for comparison sake - only the move yesterday pulled them into "decent" performance category. I charted both against Snap-On (SNA) just for fun and SNA beats MSFT handily -- over a 5 year chart (212% vs 55%) and even beats AMZN (212% vs 209%). I'm laughing here because who'd have thought Snap-On could pound those two.... The performance would be even worse if you backed up a week (before the latest move).

Now --- punch FaceBook (FB) into the equation... it's only up 113% over the same period. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
