Stock Opinions by Stephen Weiss, Founder, Short Hills Capital Partners

DON'T BUY
Apple Inc
They beat top and bottom and issued a huge share buyback

They will remain an underperform and not a player in AI. Yes, they have a good installed base.

electrical / electronic
BUY
Goldman Sachs

He just bought more. GS are the best in breed, across all bank categories.

investment companies / funds
BUY
Netflix Inc.

He bought more due to JOMO -- joy of missing out. NFLX is back on its way.

Technology
BUY
Leidos

Since new management started a year ago, each quarter has bested the last. Just reported a super quarter. Is cheap, well-positioned and defensive.

Defense
BUY
Amazon.com, Inc.

Growth is amazing and will accelerate. They have strength in cloud and data storage, and demand will only rise as companies use AI tools and that demand more cloud. He's happy to keep owning this.

PARTIAL SELL
ASML Holding

He trimmed it this morning after shares plunged 8% after they reported a miss that was larger than the street expected and guidance was soft. If the market were better, he would nibble at these levels, but not now. He remains confident in it and expects it to come back, because their tech is critical to AI. It's a show-me story.

electrical / electronic
HOLD

They report tomorrow. Doesn't expect surprises, because you can follow their monthly numbers and the company tells you often how they're doing. He's comfortable with it.

electrical / electronic
DON'T BUY
Apple Inc

It's dead money at best, not exciting the market with any earnings report. He struggles to see what impact AI will have on Apple, but they need to answer this question.

electrical / electronic
SHORT
Tesla Inc

He's shorting it. The company has no governance over Elon Musk. What about allegations of drug use? Questionable acquisitions? The fundamentals are weakening--EV adoption is slipping and China is supporting its own EV-makers that compete with Tesla. Also, Tesla is cutting prices. Musk is a liar to keep his price stock up.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Netflix Inc.

Expectations are so high and he fears they can't deliver. Then again, they keep cutting back content. This stock always bounces when it misses, so he will buy more.

COMMENT
STRONG BUY
Goldman Sachs

Shares are rising this morning after reporting a solid beat. He never felt like this stock went away or slumped. He always believed in it and its CEO. They identified their mistakes and corrected them. Are best in breed.

investment companies / funds
SHORT

Is shorting the QQQ as a hedge. The VIX has moved up a lot in recent weeks.

E.T.F.'s
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Intel

Their foundry reported a $7 billion loss. That's major, but will pick up business. That's why he bought it.

DON'T BUY
Tesla Inc

Trades at 90x PE and is declining on nearly every metric. GM trades at 4.7x PE. Tesla is not a growth company anymore.
