BUY

Bought at $1155, now what? He holds this himself. It is in the sights of the government for security issues. Being big can sometimes put a target on you. Is it bad that a big company creates the best search engine? The long term outlook is very bright with many upcoming initiatives that will contribute to the bottom line. Autonomous driving and other new technology will become mainstream in the next 5-10 years. He would continue to hold it and add to current positions.

DON'T BUY

The trend in smoking, both domestically and internationally, is on the down trend. He does not own it. Companies are trying to expand their foot print into areas around the tobacco space. There are better dividend payers out there. Yield 6.7%

TOP PICK

A specialty insurer. They hold pricing power now and he expects that to continue for a few years. They implented good cost monitoring measures. It trades at 1.3 times book -- quite reasonable. Well managed. Yield 2.00% (Analysts’ price target is $152.44)

TOP PICK

They are much cheaper than Netflix -- only 16 times earnings. Price is pausing, but longer term it has a great future following the 21st Century acquisition. They own Hulu as well. Yield 1.26% (Analysts’ price target is $149.28)

TOP PICK

COMMENT

It's a tough market because corporate earnings are declining, the global markets is softening, yet valuations keep rising. American stocks are diverging from Europe and Japan. Buying the market won't be a good idea with valuations at this level. No doubt that lowering interest rates are driving markets now, but 10-year yields are already down to 2%. Ultimately, you need earnings growth to drive stock prices. The high-yield bond market yields 6% and is in great shape, but to succeed here you need wide diversity across America, so best to use a fund. In contrast Canada is susceptible to commodity bonds and therefore higher delinquency.

DON'T BUY

They've done an amazing job positioning in the high-end spirits business. It's had a great run but the PE is 26x with mid-single-digit growth. There's little room to grow in this mature industry.

DON'T BUY

The car-buying cycle is uncertain due to Uber, scooters and millennials not buying cars because they live downtown, not to mention e-cars. Ford has never been a great long-term performer, and the future of cars looks cloudy.

BUY

Allstate invests in bonds.Can Allstate make money investing in the premiums? And, is PE or PB a better metric to value insurance companies? Every insurance invests heavily in bonds. The price of bond yields is built into the price of insurance premiums; all baked in. Note that property and casualty insurance is re-priced each year, so PC can absorb losses in bonds. Secondly, Allstate is very disciplined and has enjoying 10% dividend growth in recent years. PB, Allstate isn't expensive at 14x PE and 1.5x PB, which are both key metrics. They are best in class.

DON'T BUY

A value play in cybersecurity? Kudos to their CEO for turning around this business. Excellent execution. They're in a very competitive space. They aren't a major player--yet. The CEO, Chen, has figured how to survive, but he's not ready to buy this stock.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He's owned this for a decade, not as cheap as it used to be now that it's a Wall St. darling. After years of flat revenues, revenues are accelerating. The software part generates recurring revenues, and that has zoomed. Earnings will grow 10% annually. They buy back stock and increase their dividend. But it's trading near its all-time high.

DON'T BUY

The sector is suffering because everybody owns a phone. Pays a solid dividend, which should be safe due to strong cash flows, but earnings will shrink. It's in a tough industry.

DON'T BUY

Upcoming share splits and will list in Hong Kong Share splits have no influence, but listing in Hong Kong will make it easier for investors to access the stock. Also, BABA faces more competition. The stock is not cheap. Further, Chinese growth continues to decelerate. And who knows about these U.S. tariffs?

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 07/18, Down 16%) Global banks have been hit hard by an inverted yield curve and lower interest rates, but MS is cheap at 9x earnings. He expects double-digit growth ahead. They're raising their dividend and buying back shares. MS is the largest wealth manager in America. Boasts a PE below 10x.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 07/18, Down 1%) They benefit from higher oil prices right now. Pays a solid yield of 5.5%. Cash flows are growing. Surprisingly, RDS is one of the largest investors in renewable energy which will well-position them in the decades to come.
