Has huge momentum, the biggest chip company in the world that's driving the markets. It just set a record at $213 and is now $199. Come on--it's right in front of your face. Demand is outstripping competition.

Trades at 15x PE, pays nearly a 3% dividend yield, is 15% off its peak and well look today's oil and natural gas prices in Asia and Europe. Exxon will be making money for a while.

Just upgraded. They just reported earnings and beat across the board. The stock was down a little, but is up over 50% this year. Many drivers here: collectibles, precious metals, even cars, consumer to consumer business, great balance sheet and buying back shares.

The technicals look terrible, with the 50-day moving average sloping down and could cross the 200-day into a death cross. But the fundamentals are terrific and the stock is undervalued. Short-term, there are no catalysts.

It was up on the month before, better than the market. Today's headlines of a rumoured regional bank buy (Citi denies it), gives you an opportunity to buy.

The fear that AI will eat into software stock revenues is the reason for MSFT's weakness. But he just bought MSFT at 20x forward PE. Fears are overblown but only time can heal these stocks.

Target was raised, but you can't rely on natural gas production from Qatar given too much hostility there. Therefore, countries will look to the US for nat gas, which benefits LNG. Thought up 21% this month, he won't take profits. More upside to come, because LNG is adding capacity in years to come.

Shares are falling 10% on a management shake-up. He suspects there's more at foot. Will grow earnings 25% annually over 2 years, and trades at 22x forward PE. If it's only a management change, buy it, but maybe more is at happening.

Is up today and yesterday, both down days in the market. The financial did gangbusters last year, so it's okay that they pause this quarter in 2026. In private equity, he doesn't see a systemic credit problem. It's a matter of time before financials gaining their pace again.
