PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jan 18/10, Down 14.03%) At some point in time you will see the stock do very, very well. Earnings are constantly going up. Great balance sheet, buying back shares.

BUY

Never sells stocks because they go down but because something has changed. With Microsoft the change is from applications on your desktop to ‘cloud computing’. But Microsoft is a leader in cloud computing. It might take the rest of the world a while to catch on. Meanwhile they have the highest dividend in the tech sector. Dividend is likely to grow. Trades a low price/earnings multiple. Right now the market hates almost every tech stock. This is when you should buy them.

DON'T BUY

It was a great stock in the 90s and now it is Apple. From a technical perspective, MSFT is rather tough. He doesn’t like tech companies paying too high of a dividend. They need to use cash for growth.

BUY

Has made the transition to a grown up stock and started to pay a dividend a while ago.

BUY

Views it as a kind of utility company. Enormous amount of cash. Has the ability to raise the dividend. Trading at a 10X multiple. Expect they will take the high ground in cloud computing.

COMMENT

Has had his eye on this one for some time. He continues to wait for it to spend its cash, break up into different divisions, etc. He has decided to avoid this one for the time being. There are more exciting technology plays.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 1/10. Up 2.97%.) Cheap stock and is still growing but is hard to navigate through the changes that are going on with moves from PCs to tablets but still generate a ton of cash and have high growth margins.

WEAK BUY

Is his biggest holding. Has not added recently. Sees some drivers from product introduction. Strong net cash position.

COMMENT

Very cheap at 11X earnings with a decent dividend. You could Buy and not be hurt by it but he prefers others in the technology area. No major catalyst. He would Sell and move into Apple (AAPL-Q).

BUY

It’s a cheap stock. A safe company in terms of volatility. They have lagged in so many areas.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jan 26/09, Down 3.11) So big that you never get unambiguously good or bad results – one area will do well while another has trouble. Continues to grow at a good clip. No reason it could not double in next 2-3 years.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 18/10. Down 6.66%.) Limited downside and huge potential upside. Good Risk/Reward at these levels. Windows 7 and Office are doing incredibly well. Lots of great products that will help them grow. 2% dividend.

BUY

Starting to trend higher. Historically tech does very well from October to around the 2nd week of January each year and peaks when the Las Vegas electronics show is on so you want to take profits at that time.

BUY

Really likes it. They just did a dividend boost. There is going to be a huge turnover to Windows 7. They are like a utility company now. 10x earnings and beautiful balance sheet.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 10/09. Down 13%.) Still likes. Worth somewhere between $35 and $40. Have a lot of new products. An underdog in this environment.
