COMMENT
The question included big name tech stocks in general. They have had tailwinds of falling interest rates for 40 years and investors have been overloaded in them. Tech stocks have under-performed since the beginning of the year. Multiples are coming down. Be careful with stocks trading sideways so be careful with companies such as Shopify. Even though it is a great company it is trading at 137X next year's earnings.

TOP PICK
Migrated into a new economy stock. Well managed. In the right area, where the action is. On sale, put it in your portfolio, relax, should do very well next cycle. Hard to be replaced when you're the dominant player. Yield is 1.01%. (Analysts’ price target is $332.43)

DON'T BUY
Buy tech? The software companies boasts large recurring revenues, which makes them attractive. Also, there's a big shift to the cloud which will continue even during a soft economy. So, many large-cap software stocks like MSFT are relatively expensive. However, the semis look cheaper, like Nvidia which is down more than 50% YTD and not cheap, but historically yes. They are innovative. A buy.

BUY
You can't run a bank or any business without the tools MSFT offers. Tech should always be the anchor of a portfolio. Who cares if the Fed raises rates? You can't run an economy without tech.

COMMENT
During choppy economic times, he prefers a MSFT or GOOG, essential tech names with stronger profitability and cashflows. Companies with strong fundamentals have lots of options in a recession. Look for a tech name that's durable longer term.

BUY on WEAKNESS
Strategy by tech analyst Carolyn Boroden It's in a bullish pattern now, up 15 %in the past month. MSFT is approaching resistance of $300, but the stock has built a nice floor beneath it. If it clears $310, this chould hit $379, her target. She likes this, but prefers buyuing on weakness.

COMMENT
She owns it, but is underweight. She likes the company, but it is hitting the upper bound of valuation--too high. But if more money flows into the S&P, then the company is a pretty big piece of that index and move up even as its valuation rises too.

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. MSFT's CFO said last night that the forecast is actually better than what analysts first thought. The headlines almost never tell you the whole story. Instead, wait for the CEO and CFO to do the conference call.

HOLD
Great business. Multiple has contracted to 24x, small yield of 1%. Key is the cloud, which continues to grow. Great balance sheet. ATVI deal would be additive. Room to grow. When it reports, look at cloud direction and ATVI deal.

BUY
They report tomorrow after the bell. He suspects that Azure, their key cloud business, is doing very well. Shrewdly, the CEO warned of a hit from the strong USD. He wouldn't be surprised if they announce negative things about PC sales or Europe, but these shares are down 90 points from its high.
