COMMENT

The January rally was due to multiple expansion and add FOMO. The brunt of Fed activity (rate hikes) has yet to be felt. The market now is a good reset. There is an insatiable appetite to buy stocks, but it's better to be in cash, because the second half of 2023 will be miserable when we see the impact of these hikes. The risk now is to the downside.

SELL

It was a recent trade, and he just sold it, because this week's Microsoft Bing AI announcement was a game-changer. Because Google owns 97% of internet search and online ads, you don't need to move the needle much on Microsoft to make it a more competitive pricing environment. He was never a big fan of Google anyway and he got it luckily before it hit bottom

BUY

Alphabet was a recent trade, and he just sold it, because this week's Microsoft Bing AI announcement was a game-changer. Because Google owns 97% of internet search and online ads, you don't need to move the needle much on Microsoft to make it a more competitive pricing environment. He was never a big fan of Google anyway and he got it luckily before it hit bottom. He prefers MSFT.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Just last month he signalled a buy, but he just sold it, because he collected a tidy profit. He still likes it. It attracts the luxury consumer, which he remains bullish on, but he took profits. The stock moved up faster than he expected. He will buy it again below $300 for another trade.

PARTIAL BUY

They report soon and he doesn't know what the results will be. He likes their technology. He just bought a small position. Even if peers like Caterpillar miss, they come down only slightly.

BUY

Natural gas prices are too low and will eventually rise.

BUY

The UK news wasn't a surprise. Remains undervalued even without the Microsoft deal.
