WAIT

He had trimmed his position a bit. They are almost the utility of the Internet. The long term trends are still very much in place. He likes it as a long term investment. Take a pause and see if we get a market correction and then pick some up.

DON'T BUY

The chart is going up with periods of volatility. It could return to the $1,400 trend line. Don't enter it now. Could be frothy. Wait for earnings.

BUY

Google is still expanding their tech into our daily lives, globally. They have a great growth runway ahead.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's had a good run in the past year and likes it. Now, she's waiting for a pullback before adding more. Earnings season is coming, so let's see the results.

STRONG BUY

A super company, a benchmark. It's the dominant search engine. He hopes they will focus more on profits, share buybacks and introduce a dividend. They grow at double-digits relentless. He'll continue to buy even given its remarkable run. He doesn't know how the US government will break up these tech giants.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 18/19, Up 30%) Bought it when the market was too cautious. So many reasons to like this: ongoing revenues from Google search; value creation with Maps and Waymo; ad growth; free cash flow is returning. He see 70% EPS growth at 22x PE. This is better than even MSFT.

BUY

It is a very strong business and how could someone disrupt it. Self driving cars will be driven by self-driving adverting data.

TOP PICK

They have truly professional management that grows revenues at 18-20% annual. They are spending $20 billion on research. At 20 times earnings this is a very good long term holding as their projects begin to pay off. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $1453.53)

TOP PICK

Their earnings are growing at 17-18% and the stock price goes up the same amount, there is no bubble or inflation occurring there. (Analysts’ price target is $1453.53)

COMMENT

She does not own Facebook and is not inclined to. She favours Alphabet instead. She expects regulatory scrutiny to remain for Facebook for some time to come.

COMMENT

Microsoft had a good earnings quarterly report. What he doesn't like is that it trades 25 times earnings, when earnings are expected to grow at 10%. He thinks there are better growth orientated stocks out there like Amazon, Google or Apple trading at better valuations.

DON'T BUY

The stock has risen to a critical technical level, a few bucks away from a major peak. A great company, but the ROE and growth rate are merely okay. GOOG tends to reach a limit then suffer a setback. It needs to break through. It's interesting that the founders just stepped down, but doesn't know what the subtext is.

DON'T BUY

Twitter makes money through advertising. He would prefer Google or Facebook. The risk is that Twitter could be hurt if Donald Trump is not re-elected.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 18/18, Up 24%) Superhighways of the information age. Thinks the stock will continue to motor on forward. Antitrust for this and a lot of these companies is the key issue in the short term but thinks its priced in. People are still posting their kids on Facebook. The privacy issue seems to be an issue with the regulators but not with the users.

BUY

One of the FANG stocks in his portfolio. Likes it. Digital advertising is a secular growth story. Broken out to new highs. Volatility, but onwards and upwards.
