Stock Opinions by Bryn Talkington

WATCH
Tesla Inc

Earnings decelerated the last couple of years and have no flattened, but will grow again, she expects by 7%. People are excited by this name for its robotics, AI and self-driving cars. It's not only a car company. She had sold in the $200s the January $400 strike price. Tesla has a beta of 2. Be cautious going into earnings on Jan. 23, because there's some hype in the $400s.  More normal would be the $300s.

BUY
Energy Transfer LP

Pick your spots in energy. This is a pipeline. This is up 45% this year and pays a 7% dividend yield. Stay capital-lite.

NVIDIA Corporation

2025 will be the year of Blackwell. The hyperscalers will continue to spend on this stock.

NVIDIA Corporation

Already, cash-rich Google, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon talked about spend spend spend, which NVDA which get a piece of. They will crush earnings again on Nov. 20 and will break out into earnings, after basing at $130. At least a few more good quarters lie ahead.

TRADE
Tesla Inc

It's killing the short-sellers this week. There's probably too much euphoria here. The robotaxi is further there, not ready yet. Sell calls here, because the stock is toppy.

Consumer Products
TRADE
Dell Computers

Just bought it. Will benefit from SMCI's woes. Also, in AI, hardware cannot keep up with demand. She bought last week at $130 and sold January $145 calls and got over $7 in call premiums. It's a good trade for the next few months.

DON'T BUY
BHP Billiton

Is down 6% the past month due to China. Until China's stimulus plan has an effect on their economy, mining stocks like this will stay under pressure.

TRADE
Uber

She just bought it last week at $73, then sold a January call and collected around $2.20 in premium for 3 months. Tesla and Uber have a good partnership. If you want to be an Uber driver, Tesla will give you $2,000 in credits to buy a Tesla. They are am algorithmic pair trade--when Tesla's robot day failed, Uber shares jumped.

Technology
BUY
Alphabet Inc

Their conference call was a home run. No, internet search is not dead. Cloud is more profitable than last quarter. YouTube is actually doing 137% of Netflix in ad revenues and subscription. They have clear AI plans.

Technology
BUY
Microsoft Corp

They report today. You can't expect the same 35% growth in their cloud business as in GOOG because MSFT's cloud is 3x as big. Gaming could be weak, as AMD's was. All eyes will be on Co-Pilot--she's worried that uptake isn't that big.

computer software / processing
DON'T BUY

An amazing CEO. They just reported: gaming was weak and their revenue forecast wasn't as high as the street's but not terrible. Catch-up to Nvidia trade? By the time they catch up, will we need all these chips anyway? It's a tall order.

electrical / electronic
STRONG BUY
Visa Inc.

They beat top and bottom. They have a moat and never miss. European volumes are 141% of 2019, and emerging markets are up 21%. AI reduced fraud by 15%. Are up only 13% this year, so there's more catch up to come.

other services
BUY
Exxon Mobil

Exxon is up 17% this year vs. Chevron in the negative. Pick your spots in oil. XOM is a winner.

integrated oils
BUY
Dell Computers

Is up 9% today. GOOG and AMD tell us that data centre demand is strong. Shares are well off their highs and are seeing momentum that will continue.

electrical / electronic
BUY
NVIDIA Corporation

She added more. Is confident. The stock is breaking out now. Next week, megatechs like Microsoft and Apple, will report on their AI initiatives. All roads lead to NVDA who will enjoy ongoing strong demand for their AI chips. When this has sold down, she closed her call positions as a way to play volatility.
