\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

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). Interesting, but not a shoot-the-lights-out opportunity. He'd buy.MRVL is trying to take a share of the chips that go into GOOG, and is already involved with AMZN cloud. Be careful.…<\/p>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

Opinion about GOOGL: It has been weak recently because of investor concern over its search component and there is truth to that. Answers start with\u2026<\/p>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

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. Still one of the most diversified, mega-cap tech companies in the world. Last night's numbers were spectacular, pushback is on the capex spending.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

Opinion about GOOG-Q: Doing great. Worries about Search becoming obsolete were baseless, though it's share of searching will fall. However, the pie will expand and so total revenue will grow. Gemini has a leadership position in AI.\u00a0Plus there's YouTube --\u00a0 about 23% global streaming share and caters to shorter attention spans.

Opinion about TA-T: Benefits from data centre growth, nation-building themes, natural gas tailwinds from getting offshore. Issues with last quarter, but not material. Trades at a reasonable level of ~17x PE for very sharp EPS growth of 50-60% over next couple of years.\u00a0Lots of data centre upside.

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Opinion about SYK-N: (A Top Pick Sep 11\/23, Up 21%) 73% of their business comes from the U.S. with the rest from Europe and emerging markets. They make great surgical products (i.e. hip replacements). Also, surgeons are loyal to SYK products and rarely change brand. Aging demographics and foreign markets offer growth.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
