PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 03/21, Up 11%) Happy with company's stock return given recent tech selloff. Strong financials and dividend. Will continue to hold stock. If share price decreases, will buy more.

BUY

Seldom goes on sale. Shareholder returns increase annually, plus share buybacks, and he likes those types of companies. The underlying theme of digitization isn't going way. At these levels, you may have to hold your nose and buy. May sell off after next Fed rate decision. If you see it going south, pick some up. He'd buy today for new clients.

Has owned for years. It is a consulting company with clients all around the world and is a good way to invest in technology.
