Opinion about AVGO-Q: AVGO vs. MRVL AVGO is like the smaller cousin of NVDA. Built GOOG's AI program, increasingly making waves with Anthropic (owns Claude).

Opinion about MSFT-Q: Buy on pullback today, or it that catching a falling knife? Pullback is great time to enter. She'd buy more, but she's already overweight this name.

Opinion about DOL-T: When they reported their Q4 last week, same-store sales missed estimates and shares plunged nearly 8%. Are things that bad?
