Microsoft Corp (MSFT) is currently viewed as a resilient player in the technology sector, although it faces challenges primarily related to fears surrounding its AI strategy and competition. Despite concerns about its software business being impacted by AI developments, experts recognize MSFT's strengths in its Azure cloud offerings and productivity software. The company reported strong earnings but has been penalized for ramping up capital expenditures on AI, leading to a mixed outlook among analysts. Many see potential for long-term growth, driven by its diverse offerings and a solid financial position, while some express cautiousness over its current valuation and market sentiment. Overall, MSFT is considered a core holding by several analysts, with recommendations to buy on dips, citing its ability to innovate and adapt strategically to ongoing market changes.

AAPL

SELL

There will be a better chance to buy this company. He is standing on the sidelines right now.

BUY

Really cheap at these levels. Great company and great earnings story. Have an absolute whack of cash.

COMMENT

Back and forth with Yahoo (YHOO-Q). One of the strangest takeover battles she has ever seen. Very cheap on an earnings basis. Expect they will start to return more cash to the shareholders. Have some challenges with their Internet strategy. Probably a non-performer until the Yahoo situation is firmly resolved.

DON'T BUY

Has gone through a tough time with the change in management. Vista launch was not as strong as hoped. Attempted unsuccessfully to acquire Yahoo (YHOO-Q). Not yet clear what they want to do.

DON'T BUY

Not a big fan of this one. Trades at a very low multiple and has lots of cash but they seem to keep shooting themselves in the foot. Their approach to Yahoo (YHOO-Q) hasn't worked so far.

COMMENT

Becoming like a utility. Has recurring revenue and will eventually have a utility type yield.

DON'T BUY

Any time a company of this size says they need to spend $45 billion to remake their business model, it raises questions as to how robust is their business. Their Vista product has not been very successful.

DON'T BUY

Lots of good choices in the US technology space. Company is obviously a huge successful one, a cash cow bringing in a tremendous amount of cash each year, but it is coming off a product that is becoming older and older technology. Desperately trying to move into the Internet age. Better opportunities such as Google (GOOG-Q), Cisco (CSCO-Q), Oracle (ORCL-Q) or Apple (AAPL-Q).

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 21/07. Down 13%.) Was not bound as much as other stocks during the Bear but it’s obviously not coming back either. Clearly the issue with Yahoo (YHOO-Q) is hanging over its head. Can't see any catalyst in the short run. Still a Hold for a few months and if it doesn't do anything, get rid of it.

BUY

At the sub-$30 level, you want to take a look at this stock. About to introduce some virtualization software, which will allow them to steal some market share from VMware(VMW-N). Buy it under $30 and if it reaches $36, take some money off the table.

WATCH

They are in a situation where they are attempting a takeover and a lot of things are happening there. They are a high growth company now based on their earnings report over the last 3 or 4 quarters. If it starts to move over the $29 or $30 area he would be a buyer.

DON'T BUY

Fairly valued and would not rush out to buy it. They seem to be bungling the Yahoo transaction.

WAIT

A very cash generative business. Nice dividend yield of almost 2%. Not expensive at 15X next year's earnings. Attempting to acquire Yahoo (YAHOO-Q) and hedge funds are getting involved, creating some volatility, so there is no rush to get into this stock yet.

BUY

Stock is down because they made a bid to acquire Yahoo (YHOO-Q). He believes the down side is close to $25 and low $40's on the upside. On a risk/reward, the upside is greater than the down side.

DON'T BUY

Once we move through this bear market, technology is often a leader coming out. There are a lot of great technology companies, but he is not sure this one would be at the top of his list. Growth rates have dropped. Acquisition of Yahoo (YHOO-Q) would be very risky.
