He owns MSFT, but getting a bit pricey based on valuation. Also AMZN and AAPL, neither is too pricey. GOOG is a name to look at. AMZN is rebounding and in a clear uptrend. On his radar is FTNT.
He's very careful of the tech market. We had a pretty decent run until a month ago, but now rotation out of tech. If you look at the S&P Tech sector, it's trading around 7.1x price to sales. 10-year average is 4.5x. Years 1999-2000, it was around 7.5x or so, and then the S&P Tech index dropped 83%. Not that that's going to happen, but we need to be aware of valuations in the tech space in general.

Prefers MFC, as it's cheaper on price to book and is more diversified, plus Asian exposure gives it more growth potential. Insurers usually do well in this type of environment. Nothing wrong with it.
On fire. AI frenzy has pushed these stocks on price and valuation. Trades at 45x trailing price to sales, 23.6x forward price to sales. Growing quickly, future looks bright, but the valuation is unheard of. There's momentum, so you can hold, but keep an eye on it. He'd prefer names with similar growth rates, but much better valuation. See his Top Picks.
