TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly After sitting on the sidelines a while, it is once again time to recommend MSFT as a TOP PICK. As the world's largest software company, it has developed an amazing recurring revenue model that incorporates enterprise cloud services that grew by 50% in 2021. It trades at a discount to peers at 30x earnings and is supporting an impressive ROE of 45%. It is a cash flow king, adding to cash reserves while aggressively buying back shares and retiring debt. It's dividend is supported by a payout ratio under 30% of cash flow. We recommend a stop-loss at $240, looking to achieve $370 -- upside potential of 30%. Yield 0.89% (Analysts’ price target is $269.58)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate this ultra low-MER US utilities based ETF as a defensive TOP PICK.

COMMENT
Expect volatility in the short and medium term. The S&P has crossed the 200-day moving average several times on the upside and downside. Lots of worrying among investors, sparked by geopolitical and Fed moves. The software business has gotten soft, because businesses are unsure about spending money in this environment. That said, volatility can be your friend--you can trade it, which is what he is doing more of. He's 25% in semis, 25% in internet software, 20% to cybersecurity which has done well for him, and the rest scattered through fintech and e-commerce.
