BUY

He owns KWEB for some of his clients. A higher beta, higher octane type of name. Longer term it makes a lot of sense since the penetration of the internet in China is much lower than NA. AIA is 50 largest names in Asia that has outside of China and includes other sectors like semiconductors and banks. AIA would be more conservative of the two.

DON'T BUY
The positive vaccine news helped the stock rally but it has since given up the gains. There is not as much growth as you would like, and pay 13x earnings. Likes other names that has better growth. It has been moving sideways. The only reason to own it is for the dividend.
HOLD
It was one of his top picks back in June. You are seeing the crawl up due to positive vaccine news. It has been relatively sideways this year. If you are patient, things will normalize. If you wait 6-12 months out, the stock will move higher. There is liquidity in the books so they will be fine.
DON'T BUY

Looking at the technical structure of the stock, the 200-day moving average has been moving sideways. We are not seeing growth, similarly to Pfizer. There is a 5-6% growth rate but paying 17x forward price earnings. A good quality name but there is not enough growth.

COMMENT

Owns Microsoft and entered back in March. You are getting the cloud, entreprise and other businesses. Likes the diversification and growth expectation. You are paying a premium 31x earnings but revenue growth is low double digits which is very good. CRM, you pay higher multiples than Microsoft. Prefers MSFT.

BUY
You would own it for the strong yield at 5.25%. Valuation is quite cheap relative to peers. Good earnings growth and dividend growth. They raised their guidance which is positive. The split congress helps this name since pushing drug prices down will be harder.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 21/19, Up 13%) Long term aspects of AMT looks good. US data usage doubles every two years. Carriers will continue to invest in domestic markets for 5G. In developing markets, the move to 4G will continue to increase. A REIT type name. The stock shows some sign of fatigue but it still pays a good dividend. Neutral on this stock.
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 21/19, Down 9%) He has exited this stock a while ago. Amazon entering the pharma space is negative for CVS. The split congress is a relief for the healthcare space. The pull back is probably exaggerated. A holistic company and a value trade. 3% dividend. Prefers to look elsewhere for more growth.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 21/19, Up 36%) One of his preferred names in tech. Continues to add positions. It has more usage time than any other social network. It is important for advertisers. Revenue growth is expected to exceed 20%. Trading at 1x PEG, 27x forward earnings. Anti-trust may be a headwind but the split government makes this harder.
TOP PICK

Prefers this over Visa. It has a higher growth runway than Visa. Expects $15B in revenues. Near-term, a return to a more normal world will help Mastercard and spending volumes. Travel and cross-boarder transactions will come back and help volume. Secular shift away from cash will also continue to be a tailwind. (Analysts’ price target is $356.29)

TOP PICK
Still likes the name. They reported great earnings and raised guidance. They are firing on all cylinders. $16B in expected revenues, and their chips are better than any other maker. Used in high-end PCs, gaming, data centres and automotive. They are entering the AI space as well. Demand for their chips is unbelievable. (Analysts’ price target is $581.50)
TOP PICK
Owns premier outlets and shopping malls. It is a back-to-normal trade. The largest retail REIT. This stock should not be down 45% ytd. It is definitely undervalued and in 6-12 months it could be quite a bit higher. (Analysts’ price target is $89.13)
