Microsoft Corp (MSFT)

A great company, a top cloud player. But a company needs advanced IT department to use Amazon's cloud service, whereas MSFT can support small/medium-sized software developers can sell them over MSFT's cloud. MSFT has been tested through fire and have passed the test during this pandemic, proving that their cloud services continue to work during massive use as people continue to work from home. MSFT has the right stuff.

GOOG vs MSFT? The challenge with GOOG is that 40-50% ad spend comes from small businesses. He expects small business will be struggling for revenue for the next few months. He would not be a buyer of GOOG. He does not own MSFT, but would prefer them over GOOG. MSFT has a very successful cloud service and he sees Teams being a good add to their revenue right now.

AAPL vs MSFT? Both companies are sitting on gobs of cash, he says. MSFT sells more into business, under a subscription basis. AAPL is a little more chunky, as they are into devices and streaming services -- which is a little slow to get going. AAPL may be impacted more by the delay in selling their devices, but you still have to pay for your MSFT subscription. He would put 75% of your MSFT in now and only 50% of your AAPL investment now.

He loves this stock for the next 10 years and now is a good time to buy. Their cloud computing will thrive as streaming increases. Their Office software and others allows for people to work from home during this uncertain times. You could easily buy 75% of your position at this level. Yield 1.32% (Analysts’ price target is $196.34)

MSFT vs. IBM Likes MSFT, but it's too expensive for its growth rate. IBM is interesting. Has momentum, growing in the cloud. RedHat's revenue accelerating. Incredibly cheap. Good dividend and pretty safe. Only thing is, it's not best in breed, which is where the money will go first. But it's a fine name.

(A Top Pick Nov 28/19, Up 8%) One of the few super-large companies that are seeing increasing sales momentum. Amazon was the early leader, but MSFT has the competitive edge. Accelerating growth. Generates almost 50B of free cashflow. Going higher.
