BUY

Had a very good quarter. They are uniquely positioned. He models 13% growth. Not the cheapest name. For fresh capital he would consider this stock.

HOLD

Eighth biggest holding, at 3%. Fantastic franchise. Built up the cloud. Very strong horses in the race, that's why they're a leader. Should be a core holding.

COMMENT

They did a great job at turning the company around. The software business is ultimately their Achilles Heel. They haven't been able to execute in a meaningful way their hardware business. He would hedge his bets with other tech companies.

TOP PICK

She bought it during the October pullback. Their cloud service is second only behind Amazon. They've transitioned their Office products to become a recurring revenue stream. Definite growth will continue. Strong balance sheet with $7 net cash/share. They can fund their growth without taking on debt. (Analysts’ price target is $125.63)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The most expensive stock in his portfolio. No one's been able to unseat Windows, plus Office is now software as a service. Cloud business drives total revenue growth by 19%. Stock is not cheap, but it's such an amazing, well-run company, and you're getting great growth. Only missing piece is they don't have anything in the mobile sector.

COMMENT

IBM (IBM-N) vs Microsoft (MSFT-Q) No brainer for him he prefers Microsoft. Microsoft is up 30% YTD, they are doing a lot of things very well. He would buy half Microsoft and half Apple and would leave IBM out of this. Microsoft is not cheap, Apple is cheap, so at least you are getting some value incorporated into the investment.

BUY

He's short a lot of tech stocks, but MSFT is doing very well. He had been long this, then sold it a few months ago. MSFT instead is a buy. That said, he wouldn't be too quick to jump into any tech stock now--they've been volatile, overowned in ETFs, so there's been some unwound. MSFT has great growth and dominates their field. The CEO has done a fantastic job ressurecting their growth, especially in the Cloud. They are well-position in Cloud which will fuel growth. They also have a ton of cash. Stay long on this. Maybe you could add more at a lower price.

TOP PICK

They do not have a data privacy overhang like lots of other FANG stocks have. They pivoted themselves to the cloud. They are doing good things for the enterprise. They pay a pretty good dividend. The stock will continue to grow at 15%+ for the next while. If you get this next week or so on the pull back close to $100, that would be good. (Analysts’ price target is $125.77)

HOLD

They continue to provide good earnings. They sold it too early. He thinks valuation is too high. Well run company, generating a lot of cash flow. This should be a long term hold.

WAIT

Add more? Has hung in fairly well compared to other tech. Viewed as more of a traditional tech company. Well managed. Cloud services are growing. Doing all the right things fundamentally. Tech spend will continue to increase. Sees core businesses growing. If you already own it, hold, but wait to add more and see if it comes down and holds around $95.

TOP PICK

After watching it, she bought it during the recent pullback under $103. They're transitioning their Office business into a subscriber-based business. Then, there's Windows. The last third is their Cloud business, which is well-positioned, just behind Amazon. They have a global business. Companies are comfortable with Microsoft so there's security and confidence in MSFT. The Cloud has a lot of room to grow. Boasts a strong balance sheet and a stable, recurring revenue stream. Strong balance sheet; they are net cash positive, actually. They don't need the debt markets to finance growth. (Analysts’ price target is $125.69)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

How much to buy this as an entry point? At $106, it's in a mid-high multiple, which is a little rich for him, but then again, it's done very well under a high multiple. They have transitioned very well from software to the cloud. Their CEO has done a masterful job. He'd prefer to see this priced lower, but he's not sure he'll see that.

TOP PICK

They have 18% top line growth and are killing it in cloud. It has recurring revenue and high growth. It is not trading at a crazy multiple. He thinks it can hang in in a downturn. (Analysts’ price target is $125.69)

PARTIAL SELL

A mature tech company. He is concerned about the valuation. Great company did a turn to the cloud. It had a very good run.

TOP PICK

Owned it for quite a few years. They broke out from a giant base a few years ago. He likes what they are doing. He thinks it is still on a uptrend. Great entry point. Dividend Yield of 1.6%.
