BUY
It trades at a rational PE. Unlike high-PE peers like PayPal, shares are not plunging, but stable and flat, even on down days like today.
BUY
Buy tech? There's a big difference between Snowflake and Palo Alto. There will be volatility, but Palo Alto's moves will be fraction compared to the high-octane tech stocks (Docusign, Zoom, Lemonade). There's a big difference between them and Meta, Apple and Intel. You have to look at valuations.
BUY
IBM is flat, but pays a nearly 5% dividend. It trades at a fraction of the market multiple and high-octane tech stocks.
COMMENT
A hawkish Fed triggering a sell-off today, so sell? If you're fully invested and rely on income from your dividend stocks, you can't sell everything now. Consider your capital gains bill. If your time horizon is long, then keep holding and you'll be fine. Don't be cute by selling now just to avoid a 10% drop in the market if there's a recession.
BUY
It trades at a rational valuation. Valuations and not stories count now.
BUY
Regional banks are a lot easier to understand than the big banks, which have international operations, investment banking, etc. Even if you read the reports, you can't totally understand the nuances of these banks. She got really burned in 2008 by big banks like Citi.
BUY
She bought it last fall, knowing it was early, but she planned to be patient. The Spirit acquisition announced today should accrete. True, there may be regulatory headaches, but on the whole this deal makes Jet Blue stronger in 3, 5,10 years. Be patient.
BUY
A French insurer trading at 8x earnings and pays a 6.2% dividend.
HOLD
Earnings are coming down because they can't produce enough cars, but demand is strong. So, he'll hold onto this. Trades at only a single-digit PE.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Airlines are getting hit now by higher fuel costs, but this is a reopening stock and it trades at only a single-digit multiple. Endure the next few weeks of bumpiness as the Fed raises rate and hold cheaper-value cyclicals because they will outperform. He would add to it. The CEO said recently he can't meet customer demand.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
They're in the penalty box. During lockdowns, people were doing a lot of e-commerce, but will be going out. Also, PayPal spent a lot of money to add customers but that didn't pay off. The CEO has his work cut out for him. If they miss a third quarter in a row, then they're in trouble. This is a show-me story. That said, he is adding to this core position because valuations are so low.
SELL
A value trap! After earnings season, he will sell this and use this as a source of funds to buy another stock(s), perhaps financial.
SELL
A value trap! Every new CEO gets into something new like emerging markets or Russia. After earnings season, he will sell this and use this as a source of funds to buy another stock(s), perhaps financial.
COMMENT
The question is will Washington allow this merger with Spirit, just announced. It's better for the entire airline industry if it passes.
HOLD
It's more of a global player. It's made a few missteps, so he's unsure owning this longer term. He won't add to this.
