HOLD

One of the great companies of our generation. The law of big numbers is certainly a big issue with it. They are a cash machine, but the market wants growth. No prospects for growth so multiple is dropping.

TOP PICK

Huge product cycle coming out over the next 6 month. New office product coming out in new year. Vista was a terrible product and they learned from that. Very competitive. It’s cheap.

DON'T BUY

(Market Minute) Disappointed in. They did a disappointing job in their latest acquisitions.

DON'T BUY

Great company but not enough of a catalyst to move the stock. Still struggling to find its way and getting left further and further behind.

WATCH

Acquiring Yahoo and not having to give up a lot for it. Coming up with the launch of Windows7 in October and there is a pent-up demand for a new operating system that won't be reflected until 2010-2011. Earnings were disappointing.

TOP PICK

Nice upgrade to their product suite is coming. Changing mix a little to become more oriented to the online community. Early success of their Bing search engine may suggest a challenge to Google (GOOG-Q). Any growth in the economy over the next little while will help push this along. Looks cheap relative to the S&P.

BUY

Multinational company that has operations everywhere. Has been a dreadful stock over the last 10 years but churns out cash like anything. Triple A borrower. It is the utility on the operating systems of PCs. Coming out with a new edition which sounds quite good.

TOP PICK

Really cheap at 11X earnings. Great yield. Fantastic balance sheet. $30 billion in cash and tons of free cash flow. Windows7 is coming out and has great positive response and thinks there will be a good upgrade cycle on this. There's also a new Microsoft Office coming out in 2010.

TOP PICK

Despite being the largest software company globally it is still growing at an impressive clip. Pristine balance sheet with $30 billion in cash. Generates $350 million cash a week. Has a very attractive suite of new offerings coming up in the next 12 months.

BUY

Has been languishing for quite some time. Have 2 things that are possibly trigger points for the stock to move forward. 1) Their Xbox franchise is getting to a point where it is just about to break even. 2) There is a new operating system coming out in October (Windows 7) that will replace the Vista. It has gotten very positive reviews.

COMMENT

Not a big fan of this. Growth is not there. Thinks it could run to the mid-$20’s and you should get out of it at that time. Use a stoploss of $20.

TOP PICK

Probably trading at its lowest PE since it became public. Trading at about 10X earnings. Very low expectations for earnings growth over the next little while. Windows 7 will be coming out and that is positive. Almost 3% yield.

TOP PICK

One of the only companies with an AAA rating in the US. Just raised a reasonably significant amount of cash at incredibly cheap rates so their balance sheet is in excellent shape. Have a number of new product releases coming out over the next 12 to 18 months.

BUY

Just offered a $4 billion 30-year debt offering at 1% above treasuries. This will allow them to buy back their stock or make accretive acquisitions.
