TOP PICK

Uncharacteristically missed revenue last quarter. Cloud business continues to grow. Still benefits from digital advertising. One of the cheaper stocks in this area at 19x. Will continue to do well. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $1720.48)

TOP PICK

Bought more last month after Google announced results. Google has lagged the FANGs actually in the past year. Their revenues were flat YOY, which is the first time they haven't increased; the reason was COVID. But online search and advertising has a lot of room to grow, so Google will recover. Also, Google is now giving more disclosure about its YouTube and cloud businesses. The valuation has risen in the past year, but still reasonable. They have a lot of cash to fund growth. (Analysts’ price target is $1720.48)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 20/20, Up 41%) A very diversified company with many different products and divisions that customers love. Regulation is a risk, but consumers will continue to use these products.

TOP PICK

It has underperformed recently, especially with the lack of revenue from airline advertisement. They have over a billion customers. An ecosystem stock that increases consumer stickiness. The premium is worth paying, especially with a 20% growth expectation. (Analysts’ price target is $1720.48)

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The recent pullback in GOOG share prices from highs near $1600, makes this a good entry point. Analysts at JPM Securties, Bank of America, Canaccord, Guggenheim, Royal Bank and Barclays have all upgraded their view on the company this past week to about $1750 -- upside of over 16%. Analysts see their cloud development businesses continuing to grow along with AI and home automation services for years to come. Yield 0%

HOLD

Online advertising is a continuing trend. She's chosen Alphabet instead of FB, which has to keep spending money to deal with these regulatory issues. You want a very strong balance sheet. Alphabet has net cash, so they have more cash than debt and can fund their own growth.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 22/19, Up 34%) His price target is $1550. The third largest holding in his portfolio. He will begin to take it off it if goes above his price target, but he wouldn't sell all of it. 82% of their revenue comes from advertising. He continues to like it as they are the third largest provider of cloud services, along with devices/cell phones and autonomous driving. Still a buy and hold for everyone's portfolio.

BUY

A core holding he still likes. They dominate internet search. They could float YouTube itself for a huge amount. Yes, Google has done well, but he will hold this for a long, long time unless something dramatic happens.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Warren Buffet has 43% of his portfolio in APPL. APPL is a wonderful brand and strong company. He does not own it today. What worries him a little is that more than half of their revenues come from iPhone sales. They are diversifying, but it will take time. People are tending to keep their phones a year or two longer today it seems. The valuation has made it quite expensive. He would wait for a pullback or consider V, GOOG or MSFT. Warren Buffet must have some amazing incite to take on that concentration in the portfolio.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 11/19, Up 35%) She continues to hold it. Tech stocks have been leading the rally. She would not put new capital in at these valuation levels. Wait for a pullback. It has $162 per share of cash, which implies a price of 25 times 2021 earnings -- reasonable, but not cheap.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 30/19, Up 28%) He continues to like it. The company dominates the market. It is not trading at massive market multiple. It has a sizable growth outlook, so it warrants the premium. They are monetizing investments of the past.

TOP PICK

Still green shoot opportunities. It has been a vital service in how we manage our lives. Bottom line, it has 25% earnings growth and trades at 35 times earnings. On a price to growth it is very compelling. People assume it has run away from them, but he feels it is still going higher. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $1506.67)

WATCH

It has not been a value stock by any means. With the economic slowdown and its big advertising component then it could be an opportunity in the future. It will retain its dominance in online advertising.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 14/19, Up 27%) He would buy it again here. It is now above his model price to buy at this time. It has monopoly type earnings. With interest rates staying near zero, it should continue to see increases in their valuation.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 17/19, Up 9%) Always a Top Pick for him. Even during these uncertain times there Q1 performance is still great. His target is $1555. They just reported search activity is up hugely and they have massive increase in cloud services (up over 50%). Ad revenues are down a bit, but will great again when things get turned back on. He would buy on weakness down at $1200 and then $1100.
