Latest Top Picks
(A Top Pick Jul 17/18, Up 5%) He favoured the US banks after the election of President Trump. If the Fed cuts more than 25 points this week, this would hurt them. He feels the banks outside North America are effectively bankrupt already -- especially in Europe. He still owns this as he feels they are still well capitalized, although he has taken some profit.
(A Top Pick Jul 17/18, Up 2%) He still feels it is cheap and the balance sheet is strong. He likes the dividend yield. He would still buy at this point. His model price is almost $90 -- huge upside.
(A Top Pick Jul 17/18, Up 37%) He has recommended this for many years. The model price is over $73. A back door into blockchain technology. Yield 2.43%
He loves the healthcare space. His model price is over $179. Yield 2.85%
His model price is $248.90. He thinks they will buy back a large chunk of stock, that will only improve the model price. He last bought it in June 2013. Yield 1.47% (Analysts’ price target is $211.11)

Their earnings disappointed, yes, but he would buy. His model price is $44.99. He would buy at $37--even better. Food stocks, though, are seeing slow growth as consumers shift towards healthier food.

Good support level currently. His model price is $83 and pays a dividend of 2.6%. You can ride out of the semis storm with this--it's relatively stable. Certainly buy more at $37. (Analysts’ price target is $53.13)

He models $240, so lots of upside. Obviously, there are concerns about China-US trade, but Apple will do well. (Analysts’ price target is $209.06)

The US market was a solid green to him for many years---until December 2018. It's now yellow. He's now raising cash, though the markets rebounded nicely since Xmas Eve. Data says that the global economy is slowing a bit. Geopolitics worry him in the States with the Mueller Report. Trump's threat to cut off Iranian oil is driving up today's oil price, but the world's biggest customer is China. Also, there's more oil supply than demand.

He likes the oil space; it's cheap. He prefers Exxon Mobil, but CVX is cheaper and a good stock. $127.80 is his target price, a modest upside. Good 4% dividend.

There are still no earnings. They're breaking even. The stock has roared ahead of expectations, though. He still wants to see earnings momentum.

He's recommend this before and owns a lot of it. It reports earnings on May 9 and likely nothing will happen till then. Buy at $6-7. The stock fell last year, because all the generic drug-makers are vulnerable to lawsuits from American states during the opioid crisis. Endo has a pill more powerful than oxy contin Expects good earnings.

He's a value investor, so SHOP doesn't fit for him. Earnings are very small vs. its market cap. Buy if it falls back to $100, but it has sailed far past that.
