PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 24/18, Up 13%) He got stopped out of them. The anti-trust and controversy issues give him pause. They have loads of cash and are stupidly profitable though. He would buy them back if FB set new highs. He's done that before.

BUY

Society asked for AI and ease of access, the very things that Facebook, Google, etc. offer. Some like what Facebook are doing and some don't, but there are a lot of people who still like what Facebook is doing. This runs against the "evil empire" image that the media paints. Facebook isn't going away., though it will evolve. Look at what happened to Microsoft a generation ago.

BUY

People love it and use it. Still buying it here, incredibly cheap. And they haven't even begun to monetize Instagram yet. Mark Zuckerberg is a great operator and CEO. Undervalued. So many tailwinds.

COMMENT

Facebook vs Alphabet? He definitely prefers Alphabet as it is the dominate player in the online advertising space. It trades at only 20 times earnings and growing at 20% per year. A company of this stature with no debt and lots of cash. They will be buying back stock.

WEAK BUY

The stock that has been performing better than other FAANG stocks and has come back up to where they were before December. Risky, so if you double your money, sell half. If the market corrects, this could go down more than the general market.

TOP PICK

A core holding for him. It has come through tough times this year. He thinks it is headed to $250 per share next year. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $230.73)

BUY

Great earnings, but some media attack it. No other company engages 2.5 billion people daily and keeps creating platforms for more engagement. They stumbled and got punished. They need to increase their PR efforts. He still likes it.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Facebook did not do anything to help themselves with the Libre announcement. His model price is $166.

DON'T BUY

Avoid. Better tech companies, such as Microsoft and Google. Economics are phenomenal, but the optics are not good. They're going to be under pressure.

BUY

They report on Wednesday. He's underweight FB. The options bets this week are bullish. Technicals look good and FB has a solid track record of breaking earnings. FB is a good long-term investment.

BUY

Up 60% since Xmas Eve FB is still top of the social media heap. He would still buy at current levels.

BUY

Crypto Currency. They enjoy a dominant position in social media. Instagram is a wild success. Their market share in digital advertizing is very favourable and growing. In an election year when they talk about antitrust and regulation, that can put a drag on the stock. News flow will not be favourable. Their entry into crypto currency will offer an enormous opportunity as Western Union charges up to 10% to transfer money to developing countries. Facebook is a great company and will do well over time, but be ready for difficult news flow over the next year.

TOP PICK

They have built up a good cash position and have worked on improving security. Their balance sheet looks strong and he believes this is just getting going. Yield 0%. (Analysts’ price target is $218.44)

BUY

They are getting involved with digital currency through a separate firm. Some people think it could be a long term opportunity. It is expected that next year their earnings and growth should track each other. He could see this one getting to over $200 in the next several months.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 20/18, Up 16%) The media is out for Zuckerberg's head. Yes, FB has screwed up but they have said sorry. Earnings have slowed, because FB is spending on improving privacy of its users. The market overlooks that is spending money on future growth by monetizing Instagram and getting into payments and VR. Their valuation is quite cheap, though growth is slowing, but that means 30% revenue growth. Who else does 30% trading at 20x earnings? FB is up 50% year to date vs. the Nasdaq's 20%.
