TOP PICK

You don't want to be without tech stocks, despite risks. Trading at less than market multiple, huge cash on balance sheet, dominant position. The one to own. Online advertising not impacted as much as feared. #3 player in cloud. Owns Android OS. Well diversified. Great story, decent valuation, a legacy long-term stock. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $143.00)

Business Services

STRONG BUY

If he were to pick one tech stock, this would be it. Diversification, cloud, search engine that brings in advertising. 80% of revenue comes from Search, and 97% of profits come from ads. In his top 5 holdings. (Analysts’ price target is $144.25)

Business Services

BUY

Excellent business that has best advertising business in the world. Expecting more and more advertising to move online. Competitors slipping in market share (Facebook etc.) Stock price is undervalued with rising interest rates. Good time to buy shares in the company.

Business Services

BUY

Snap reported disappointed earnings so any stock that relies on digital ads got pressured. Then, Alphabet reported a great quarter last night. It's a much better company than Snap and boasts a much better return for its advertisers. Google also tells advertisers how exactly people go to their site whereas with other digital sites you don't know if your ad is working. You know what your ROI is, so you're incentivized to spend more on ads.

Business Services

BUY

It reported last night and initially shares sold hard right after the company released earnings. But the company knows what its doing. Sure enough, today shares roared back and rallied today. Whoever sold them in the pullback justifiably feels like an idiot. Alphabet's CFO last night in her talk convinced him that Google remains the best ad vehicle for travel and leisure. The headlines almost never tell you the whole story. Instead, wait for the CEO and CFO to speak at the conference call.

Business Services

BUY

A buy at these levels. At 19x earnings, lower multiple than other tech. Good momentum on Search for travel and retail. Make sure monetization of YouTube continues. Digital ads will continue to grow, though headwinds include cutbacks. Cloud is a strong growth area.

Business Services

PARTIAL BUY

They report tomorrow after the bell. They give their clients the best returns on digital ads and which don't rely on much third-party data. It has fallen by a third, so worth buying. Then again, it has not been a hot stock for ages.

Business Services

BUY

Likes Google as a business. Online advertising may decrease in economic slowdown, however long term is a good business. Leader in online advertising.

Business Services

COMMENT

There may be scrutiny over ad spend in their next quarter, but don't get caught up on that time until you look at the rest of the company.

Business Services

BUY

Snap released a poor quarter, but should Alphabet shares be impacted? Yes, there is an economic slowdown happening, and small business reduces ad spend whenever that happens, and that reduction starts with Snap. This doesn't always transfer to Alphabet, though, unless there's a recession (which he doubts will happen). He isn't worried about Alphabet.

Business Services

BUY

He is generally not positive on tech. Earnings estimates for tech have gone up, not down. But he does own Microsoft, Apple and Alphabet, because they can manage their businesses and have incredible moats with little competition. GOOD trades at 18x earning and a 7% premium to markets (generally 25%). Do not trade these big tech stocks, but buy on weakness. These stocks compound over time.

Business Services

WAIT

Ad-driven. If companies have to lay off people due to higher interest rates, they'll be much more strategic in how they advertise. Great company. Be careful at these levels. Wait to see if there are higher unemployment levels and how these impact the business. Ton of cash.

Business Services

BUY on WEAKNESS

Has owned this for years for its online advertising. Company is still growing and prefers it to Facebook. Shares just split. The PE is attractive and it has strong cash flow.

Business Services

HOLD

Split today. Will live and die with the US economy. Fewer companies will advertise, so it will pull back, but then it will be quick to recover. He's comfortable holding. The days of 20-25% revenue growth quarter after quarter are over, but it's still growing in double digits. Tremendous balance sheet and optionality.

Business Services

TOP PICK

Prefers the L stock (no votes). Shares are off 22%. Revenue growth has slowed. Has $100 billion in free cash flow. They continue to dominate web search. They own Androids, which is half the phone market. They are #3 in cloud computing. He expects GOOG to return to previous highs in 18 months. (Analysts’ price target is $3171.40)
