Apple Inc (AAPL-Q) — Stockchase
Apple Inc (AAPL-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about AAPL-Q: Is -6% the past year and -19.7% this year, and has been trading sideways as the rest of tech has been roaring.

Opinion about ATVI-Q: Hold tight or sell with pending takeover? From today's price, $5.50 is in play.

Opinion about SQ-N: 12-month price target of $83.50, nice long runway. If there's a company that can disrupt payment or banking systems, it's this name. Very strong growth prospects.

Intel (INTC-Q) — Stockchase
Intel (INTC-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about INTC-Q: Revolving door of CEOs -- hard to find someone with both business and engineering skills. If you ever see it up around $25, take a bit of profit. Or write some calls against it as it gets close if you don't want to get taken out. It will have its day, but…

Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about AMZN-Q: Cloud business is the growth driver, sort of subsidizing the retail operations. Retail margins are much lower, only mid-high single digits.

Hasn't fully recovered…

Pfizer Inc (PFE-N) — Stockchase
Pfizer Inc (PFE-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about PFE-N: She likes the space but people are not investing in it. It has a low valuation and is tempting but she prefers elsewhere. It is a global leader in a crowded field. She sees 5% growth so there is some upside.
