ADBE vs. MSFT Prefers MSFT. Neither stock is that inexpensive, with the rally. MSFT has a more diversified business model with PC and cloud business, which is gaining more market share, as well as a strong balance sheet, solid net cash position, and a very strong management team.
Issues of privacy and hate mail. Online advertising is a continuing trend, but she's chosen Alphabet instead. FB has to keep spending money to deal with these regulatory issues. You want a very strong balance sheet. Alphabet has net cash, so they have more cash than debt and can fund their own growth.
(A Top Pick Jul 10/19, Up 6%) Relatively defensive with food and pharma. Nice defensive stock to own in this environment. Pantry loading with Covid, but they also have higher costs with protection equipment and higher labour costs. Leader in online grocery. The trading discount from Metro should narrow over time.
(A Top Pick Jul 10/19, Down 17%) Merged with Raytheon. Now the company is half defence, and half commercial aerospace. It will be a tough year for the aerospace side. Sound balance sheet. Willing to ride it out. Very strong management. Travel will resume eventually.
