Check out these 3 dividend paying tech stocks to buy as yield curve and trade war fears heat up...

Technology is still the best performing sector this year despite trade tensions and global growth concerns

Outside of all other context, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is, in my opinion, a candidate for a "forever" hold. However, no investment operates in a vacuum. Therefore, the massive 800-point plummet in the Dow Jones is an event you must consider when analyzing MSFT stock.Source: Shutterstock Let's start with the obvious. As a growth and technology play, Microsoft stock depends substantially on investor sentiment. Yes, it does pay a dividend. However, with a yield of only 1.4%, it's not nearly enough to justify an excessive position against a volatile backdrop.Further, the reason for the broader market downturn is especially problematic for MSFT stock. Initially, the U.S.-China trade war started out in some ways as a political stunt. Bolstering his image as the "sheriff," President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese goods for various acts of malfeasance, particularly intellectual property theft.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsHowever, the Trump administration may have miscalculated Beijing's resolve. With each side refusing to budge, then stepping up their retaliatory tariffs, the matter has seemingly spiraled out of control. On paper, that's pernicious for Microsoft stock. Outside of the U.S., China is the tech giant's biggest revenue stream. * 15 Growth Stocks to Buy for the Long Haul As if that weren't enough, the constant back-and-forth between the two nations may have exacerbated domestic economic weaknesses. Recently, the benchmark yield curve inverted when the yield for 10-year Treasuries slipped underneath the 2-year yield. In other words, investors are getting less reward for accepting greater time risk.It makes no sense. And not surprisingly, this dynamic represents a warning about a coming recession. Thus, investors see little reason to hold more "risk on" names like MSFT stock. No Need to Panic on MSFT Stock YetEven with a preponderance of negative news items, it's still tricky to figure out what to do with a blue-chip name like Microsoft stock. Clearly, this is no time to load the boat with the company's shares. With multiple headwinds cascading down like rainwater, you don't want to be a premature contrarian.That said, I also don't think it's a time to panic on MSFT stock. First, let's have a quick rundown about the yield-curve inversions and their implications. What this trend truly suggests is that the markets are very nervous about incoming events. Essentially, Wall Street is dealing with a math problem where key constants are replaced with variables.If you never liked calculus class, you can appreciate the sentiment. However, the increase of variables does not necessarily mean that everything is going to Hades all at once. As Credit Suisse reported, it takes on average 22 months following a "2-10" yield-curve inversion to spark a recession. Therefore, we may have some time to work things out.Optimists may note that next year is a key presidential election cycle. Thus, even a tough sheriff like Trump sees the value of seeking a peaceable solution. Naturally, that would bode very well for Microsoft stock, along with tech peers like Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).And positive signs do exist. Unexpectedly, the president delayed a ramp up in tariffs until after the Christmas shopping season starts. That's an important acknowledgement that the White House recognizes our economy's global interdependence.However, a trade war resolution may be some months off. In the meantime, stakeholders of MSFT stock can rely upon the underlying company's secular businesses, such as its dominance in endpoint management. Challenges for Microsoft Stock Drive EfficienciesFinally, I'd like to point out that a silver lining exists in this trade war malaise. Under bullish conditions, there's not as much incentive to push for corporate efficiencies. With the money flowing in, it's easy to get complacent.However, in a distressed ecosystem, every dollar of revenue counts. That's why if you own MSFT stock, you've got to love Microsoft's new "outsourcing" license policy as it pertains to its cloud business.Long story short, Microsoft is cutting a loophole that enables Amazon's and Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) cloud customers to bring with them their existing Microsoft enterprise software licenses.For years, Amazon promoted such "bring your own licenses" capabilities to prospective clients. This gave Amazon and Alphabet comprehensive usability at Microsoft's expense. Now, this loophole is closed, which should help Microsoft stock at least mitigate some volatility.Still, it's probably going to be a rough ride in the coming months. If you have a large position in MSFT stock, a little trimming makes sense. Otherwise, if you're looking to buy in, wait. Almost certainly, we'll see a better entry point for this iconic tech firm.As of this writing, Josh Enomoto did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Being the CTO for one of the three major hypercloud providers may seem likeenough of a job for most people, but Mark Russinovich, the CTO of MicrosoftAzure, has a few other talents in his back pocket

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL, NASDAQ:GOOG) is the ultimate tech company.Google is a self-service cash machine that delivers incredible free value yet generates enormous revenue. In its June earnings report, GOOGL stock showed net income of nearly $10 billion, $14.21 per share fully diluted, on revenue of almost $39 billion.Despite its scale, Google is growing at 19% per year. The company's cash hoard is now listed at $117 billion. That's more than Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). Shares jumped on the news.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 10 Stocks Under $5 to Buy for Fall To this proof of American economic leadership, the government's response is more like: "Nice business you got there, a shame if something happened to it." The Federal Trade Commission is seriously talking about breaking this company up. The Cloud and the ServicesWhat would such a breakup look like?The most logical form, in the case of Google, would be to separate services from the cloud. Have YouTube, Google, and every other service rent cloud capacity and make it on their own. Maybe the enterprise-focused Google Cloud business might stay, but that would be it.That wouldn't be enough for some rivals. They claim every aggregation of Google search has an antitrust violation. "You do the work, and let us take the profit" is their attitude. But would these companies really stay in their lanes if Google didn't exist?The clouds of Google and the other Cloud Czars - Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple and Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) - were built on the cash flow of free or cheap services. Their investment, with no guarantee of profit, created $4.5 trillion of market cap.Turning clouds into landlords would mean building tech with debt, as companies like Equinix (NASDAQ:EQIX) do. It would also mean throwing off all profits as dividends, which is the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) model. After watching AT&T (NYSE:T) take government subsidies for decades without investing in new technology, while Google exploded past it without one government dime, do we really want to go back to that 20th century business model?Even the trade groups Google belongs to, like the Internet Association, are not rushing to its defense. That's because the companies being crushed by Google's expanding services, including Yelp (NASDAQ:YELP) and Trip Advisor (NASDAQ:TRIP), are also members of these groups.Combine the jealousy of cloud tenants, the liberal fear of scale, and the right's desire for ideological compliance, and you get a perfect regulatory storm. Buy Alphabet Stock Now?For people who focus on the numbers, like our Bret Kenwell, GOOGL stock is a screaming buy. Google is achieving all this growth while its cloud business still measures its market share in the single digits.For those who follow politics, however, there are warning signs. The companies that should be Google's friends aren't stepping up in support. European regulators treat the Cloud Czars as ATMs. American regulators want government to take the internet's power from the marketplace. The Bottom Line on GOOGL StockThe regulatory goals of the Cloud Czars are different from those of every other tech company. But each of the Czars works through these things on their own.This keeps those who built the clouds from speaking with one voice in its defense. A smart Google lobbyist might point to how the company is using its cash to fight kidney disease, or how it has pioneered in car safety technology. They might point out that every company shocked by Google's use of data is doing the same thing with it.But if that is happening, I don't see it. If the clouds won't defend themselves, no one else will.Dana Blankenhorn is a financial and technology journalist.
