BUY
He just started buying in August. He feels it is very inexpensive. He sees it as a utility, rather than a growth story. Dividend will go up because they have said so. Likes their prospects in the smart phone area and Windows 7 will be a winning product.

TOP PICK
Reasonably valued and an attractive dividend, which will keep growing. Strong Cdn$ can be used to advantage. Although they have a lot of cash, they recently acquired some debt at very attractive rates.

TOP PICK
No longer a technology company but a utility. Dominant operating system that everybody needs, whether they want it or not. Windows 7 was a big increase in performance. Just increased dividend to 2.6%. Trades at 8X forward earnings. (includes cash on the balance sheet.)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 1/09. Up 4%.) Increasing dividends and buying back shares. Windows 7 is a great product. Have a bunch of new products coming out. Looking for a nice upgrade cycle in the next year.

TOP PICK
Generates $20 billion in free cash flow this year and $23 billion next year. Trading at a very low multiple. Returning the free cash flow in the form of share buybacks and dividend increases.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 1/09. Up 1%.) Had very strong numbers and Windows 7 is a very good product but the stock does not go up. There should be some change at the top before the stock moves up

PAST TOP PICK
TOP PICK
Released Windows 7 with rave reviews. 75% of US businesses are still using XP. It’s time for an upgrade. Launching a new cell phone later in the year. Into Cloud computing. The x-Box. He is looking for the stock to do well and you get a dividend, which is rear in a tech company.

COMMENT
Earnings will be fairly strong because of their Windows 7 and office 2010 product refresh. He is concerned with their long-term sustainability of growth. Even though earnings have doubled over a decade, stock price has stayed flat. Would treat it more as a trade. There is a ton of opportunity for growth in other stocks in the technology space. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT
Off almost 20% this year so has been disappointing. Google (GOOG-Q) and Apple (AAPL-Q) have been eating their pie in the cloud. Windows 7 is doing very well and there is a major refresh in the PC world and are still 90% of the market. Should push more into the consumer side and into the emerging markets side. Probably a safe time to get in.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 28/09. Up 25%.) Great opportunity for their enterprise side to do quite well. Windows 7 is doing very well and they're coming out with a new office product.

TOP PICK
Really a poster child with their balance sheet, free cash flow and free cash flow growth. Have various new product introductions, cost cutting initiatives. 5% a year share buyback. 2% dividend. Starting to issue debt at extremely cheap levels so have access to cheap capital.
