TOP PICK

The fact that it has made all these vast investments in infrastructure, they have very little debt. They continue to grow like mad. Moving into India and internationally. They may not be making any money because they are reinvesting the money in growth. It is hard to find good management that is fearless. In 2006, they were using an incredible amount of computer power. Decided to overinvest in computers, and rent out computer space, and are now the largest Cloud computer company globally. (Analysts’ price target is $945.03.)

COMMENT

Has a lot of respect for this company. There is no sharper entrepreneur that has done more in the last decade than Jeff Bezos. He is wiping out whole swabs of the retail space. On this one, don’t use PE, but instead use Price to Sales as a valuation. On that basis, it is far more reasonable.

COMMENT

An incredible story, but from a valuation perspective it is incredibly expensive. They dominate online retail spending and no one is coming close. The big box stores are having a really hard time competing on an online basis. The money coming from Amazon’s cloud business AWS is really subsidizing the retail side of it.

BUY

This is the biggest winner of all the stocks out there. This is the first question he has ever had on this stock in 17 years. Don’t hold your breath on stock splits. The CEO does not believe in them.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 14/16. Up 4.28%.) This is a pretty good trend. Every time it comes down to the bottom of the trend line, you want to pick some up. For the long run, this is a great stock to own.

COMMENT

It marches to its own drummer. Management is considered a genius. They are slowly but surely taking over online shopping. He likes to look at revenue growth rather than profits with them. He does not own it because of a lack of visibility, however.

COMMENT

Trading at almost 80-90 times earnings. You have to take a lot of volatility with the stock, because the earnings multiple is so high. From a broader perspective, they have $138 billion of sales, so they dominate the online business. AWS, their cloud business is 1st or 2nd relative to Microsoft (MSFT-Q). They have some really great businesses. You need to own this, because they will become a very big competitor to a lot of retail companies, and will dominate retail over the next 10-15 years.

COMMENT

They are reportedly in talks to buy a Dubai based online retailer SOUQ.COM for $1 billion. That would be peanuts for them. This is an amazing company that has grown from zero to revenues of over $100 billion. He has no idea how to value this company, and therefore he can’t buy it. They are generating all of their growth through their own free cash flow generation. An unbelievable operation, growing in the Cloud.

COMMENT

His long-term thesis on this is very bullish. They are dominant in Cloud and in retail. In the very short term, it has been used as a source of funds for people who under-owned financials. Financials is the most under owned sector in the market. He would have no problem holding this.

HOLD

Trump is not what to be nervous about with this one. The disruption would be how in the US you don’t pay sales tax on something bought out of state. They are an incredible company that is in all kinds of areas. But it trades at nose bleed levels and you might not be comfortable owning it at these levels.

TOP PICK

No Dividend. Cloud computing is a strong grower. The Alexa device will allow you to yell at it that you need something and it will be delivered in one day. The web services are a huge growth engine. (Analysts’ target: $940.37)

DON'T BUY

He would have a hard time advocating buying or owning this, based on its valuation and its ability to generate cash. They are doing a phenomenal job of owning a lot of businesses, but are doing it by spending a lot of money and not generating a lot for shareholders. Valuations are pretty nosebleed territory.

COMMENT

A high growth, momentum stock. Fund flows were coming out of large cap technology, which had done very well, into the other areas of the economy. The company grows their top line, but not a lot falls to the bottom line, which is a difficulty she has in owning this for her clients. For an entry point, perhaps look at their 20-day moving average, and when it gets to those levels, it may be one you want to start looking at.

TOP PICK

Trump thinks they have dominance. It is going to be tough to keep a growth engine like this down. It is bouncing off the trend line. He started buying last week. If it breaks $700 for two to three weeks he would get out again. No Dividend. (Analysts’ Target: $940.46).

WATCH

The upside for the Internet delivery model, the Cloud, all the back model that is being offered through this company is only going to get better. It is a very pricey stock. To get into it you would need a selloff, but if you are looking for more upside, he would look at Ali Baba (BABA-N). He thinks the space is going to become increasingly interesting as we move into the next phase of the economy, particularly under Trump. This is one to watch.
