TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jul 4/11, Up 19.11%) Incredibly cheap but has been so forever. What is interesting about it is that Windows 8 is coming out and there has not been a huge cycle upgrade for computers in the last 3 or 4 years. Thinks the surface tablet will do more than investors think. The iPad is an entertainment device. The Surface has a keyboard. It is productive. It is a notebook that is down to a notebook size. They have so much cash and the possibility of increasing dividends, although it is not a dividend play. Expects 15-22% increase including dividends.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 21/11. Up 100%.) Sold a $25 April Put, which expired in April. Picked up $1.25.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 23/11. Up 24.79%.) Coming out with a great product line, which is helping them. Windows 8 will be a good product. Not expensive.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jun 9/11, Up 25.82%)

COMMENT

Lately there is a lot of hope for Windows 8. Xbox is doing well for them. Getting back into the smart phone business with Windows software is very early days. He is warm towards the stock here.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 9/11. Up 27.43%.) Model price is $41, an upside of 37%. Has a 2.7% dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 23/11. Up 31.15%.) People were undervaluing the company and its core businesses. Some of their core businesses are coming up with new products that will really drive their earnings quite substantially, especially Windows 8. Has a great yield and great balance sheet with reasonable to good growth. Can see this closer to $40

DON'T BUY

This company is fine, but if you are looking for growth wait to see the Top Picks. Has about 1.5% yield. Trading at a very reasonable multiple at 10-11 times earnings. There just isn't the growth that you would see in some other tech stocks.

DON'T BUY

There are a lot of good technology companies. Have actually done a fairly good job in terms of new products. Coming out with Windows8 later this year. Have done a good job on the gaming side. Has become a very large company and the needle doesn't move so easily.

TOP PICK

Cheap. Likes the story. Great balance sheet. 11x earnings, 2.6% yield. April 19 numbers come out. You will get better PC demand, which will help them. Windows 8 coming out late summer or call but is a 2013 story. A lot of good products coming out and every one is concentrating on Apple. Made an effective job of changing their business.

TOP PICK

The ugly duckling. Apple gets all the news and MSFT doesn’t. It is a good story right now. There will be great momentum because of new products. Not an expensive stock. Great balance sheet. Windows and the office suite are a very good franchise.

DON'T BUY

In the last decade they doubled their earnings, but their multiple has halved. They are at 9 or 10 times earnings. Market is looking at windows 8 and saying they should give the company another chance. He things they should be viewed as a utility. There are so many good choices in technology.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Don’t look backwards when investing, look forward. They are coming out with a new Xbox in 2013 as well as Windows 8. He would buy CSCO at these levels or would look for a better entry point lower for MSFT.

TOP PICK

Large cap technology has been out of favour for 10 years. Have gone through a revaluation. Multiples got compressed from 60X earnings to 10-11 times. This company is into a new product upgrade cycle, which opens up touch screens, tablets, ultra books (?).Strong growing cash flow and a growing dividend makes it attractive. Cheap.

BUY

Much slower growth profile. Will transition into a much bigger dividend payer. You can make some money in a trade. It’s a total return story. If you don’t see growth from here then it is a transition story.
