Stock Opinions by Reza Samahin

BUY
IBM Common Stock
Weakness in the last couple of quarters because of a slowdown in their service side. Starting to see some pick up in micro electronics where their will be better margins. Good entry point.

TRADE
Microsoft Corp
Known as fast follower. Company will still do well but it would be difficult to find new market.
computer software / processing
WAIT
Nokia
Making steps to new product line. Might want to buy in fourth quarter

Expectations are high for upside. Overall, it is a premeire name in the smart phone network. Do not see competitors catching up anytime soon.

Not his preference. It's a pure play in wireless.

Dell Computers
On company fundamentals, this is an ideal company. A low-cost producer. Likes of for the long term. On a valuation basis, it is fully priced at this point.

For a play in RFID (radio frequency identification) this is one of the larger companies. There is no pure play in RFID.
computer software / processing
DON'T BUY
Checkpoint Systems
Has a lot of competition. They are really a firewall and VPN Company and are expanding into a full and two and security solution for enterprise. Have to wait to see if they will be successful.
misc industrial products
BUY
Celestica Inc
Very disappointing in the last few weeks. Should do well. Its end markets are doing well. Margins are very weak right now. High inventory is creating problems but this should be cleared up in the next few quarters. Valuation is very compelling.
