BUY
History of free cash flow and return on equity is what tells you if a stock is good to own. If you had bought Cisco instead of Nortel (NT-T) you would have had much better stock performance.

DON'T BUY
Expect to see weaker numbers from the tech sector in the 1st half of the year. There was a big inventory build ahead of the end of the year and the retail sector did not see the demand expected in their products. A world class company with a market leading position but now is not the right time to buy.

WEAK BUY
Mixed opinion. Internet drives the growth longer term, however growth is not what it was 5/10 years ago. It has become a more mature company. An FASB ruling is coming regarding expensing of employee stock options> This company will be hit the hardest. Have lots of money and good management.

BUY
A good point to get into this stock. Has suffered because it's so big, it's hard for it to grow. Has a dominant position in routers. Struggling to keep up with the advances being made by Juniper but it will get there. The last few quarters there have been issues with inventory, but now they have got through that and growth should accelerate.

A much better company than Lucent. A lot of cash. Very smart managment and great products. China's competition is a threat.

PAST TOP PICK
BUY
The world is going to internet protocol because it is a cost savings solution for big traditional suppliers. A great entrance point.

The bellweather of US technology. Sees some rally coming. Buy and hold for a year or two. Cheap. 20% plus growth.
