TOP PICK

Wants to own companies that he believes in for a long-term vision. Don't buy this one to time the market. If it goes down, you can be comfortable buying more. Sees a lot of good opportunity ahead for them.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 22/05. Down 20%.) Made a big acquisition of a data storage management company and the market s be has taken a wait and see a approach. Even better value than it was before. Very compelling value.

SELL

Has not been a good ride since their merger. They are having much competition from Microsoft and other Antivirus companies.

TOP PICK

His three topics are based on companies that he would want to hold for the long-term. Had a merger last year and the stock didn't go anywhere. A lot behind the merger is behind them. Their product is very highly rated.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 19/05 Up 11.5%.) Security software. Good franchise and strong brand name. Made an acquisition of Veritas software which is storage software and the market didn't think it was a natural synergy. Likes the idea of the 2 combined. Good valuation.

TOP PICK

Likes thei core business. Bought Veritas Software (VRTS-Q) and like the opportunity it presents. The market has really not embraced this move as yet, but customers have.

SELL

Has huge competition in their space.

TOP PICK

Security software is the key area with virus protection, anti spam, anti worm, etc. They're across all platforms. A household name via Norton. Recently bought Veritask Software which really strengthens Semantec.

TOP PICK

Leader for the consumer and doing very well with corporations. Norton Antivirus is a well know brand name. Has reached the appropriate price where he thinks a good return is there. Recently acquired a software company Veritas which the market didn't like, but which he feels is a good match for security and data management. Good entry point.

DON'T BUY

Acquiring a software company Veritas and the market didn't care for that. There are other problems that the market is worried about even more. Microsoft has bought an anti-virus company which will be competing.

BUY

One of the better technology companies. The dip in price because of the recent merger is a buying opportunity. A good long term story and good management.

TOP PICK

He is focused on technology and the consumer side of technology. Likes security software such as Symantec and Verisign.

BUY

Likes the anti virus sector. A real growth business. Earnings are growing nicely.

DON'T BUY

Has been a little bit pricey. Would prefer in the low $30's.

DON'T BUY

A very good Company. Valuations are a little high. Wait for a better entry point.
