TOP PICK

One of those companies that is in transition phase from when it was a market high growth darling to a more reasonable growth of 15% a year. Has $38 billion of cash on the balance sheet. Has the ability to pay a special dividend or buy back more stock. Trades at about 17 X earnings which is pretty reasonable value.

TOP PICK

Lots of new products coming out next year (the new Xbox, the new windows, new office". Seasonability is good. Technically good.

BUY

Pulling back to some support levels now. Proabably a great short term buying opportunity. A good defensive stock as they have so much cash it looks like a bank.

DON'T BUY

Stock went up about a month ago on the view that there could be a growth in the revenue rate as they launched a bunch of new products. Has now fallen back. Has not participated very well in this bull market.

DON'T BUY

Has been a difficult story and the whole tech sector is expensive. This company has promised a lot, but has not been able to deliver which has really hurt the company. Still have to deliver on their development side and they have a lot of competition breathing down their necks. Not cheap.

BUY

Management is very focused on cost cutting and they have a new product rollout in the last half of this year. This will be a 2006 story. Could grow its revenue by about 10% in thnext couple or three years. A lot of cash and expects increased dividends.

BUY

If you get it at fair value, you get a 9/10% return. Have given a very bold forcast for their coming fiscal year and are really looking at double digit growth. Doesn't expect a special dividend, but a lot more in share buy-back.

DON'T BUY

Likes companies that will grow substantially, but this has become so big that it will be tough going forward to grow substantially. Have lots of cash and are generating free cash flow. If the X Box does well over the next 6 months the stock could do well. Doesn't see much upside in the stock.

DON'T BUY

His model price is $26.60 which is a negative 2% differential.

TOP PICK

Speculation is that they are going to give one of the special dividends again. Buy a $27.50 October Call Option. If he's right the stock will probably pop to $30.

BUY

Looking very closely at this one right now. Looks reasonable. The problem is the huge cash balance and what are they going to do with it.

SELL

Its best days were probably in the past. If a company's share price doesn't participate in a market rally, you should be looking elsewhere. Growth stocks are starting to perform a little bit better, but this stock is not.

HOLD

Had the big run up through the 80's & 90's. Since 2000, flat. Trying to reinvent itself. Feels it's going somewhere with the new convergance. Making deals with other parties. With the large consolidation that it's had, it usually indicates a breakout.

DON'T BUY

Good company, but not a growth company. In the long term, when they take advantage with their relationship with SAP (SAP-N) they can move further into the enterprise. There are faster growing situations that can be invested in.

BUY

Looks interesting. Had 5 years of support at $24. If we are to get a shift in leadership from the commodity into the new economy/technology, Microsoft has to participate. If it breaks through the support level, get out.
