COMMENT

Just reported weak numbers and refused to give out guidance in cutting 5000 jobs. Large cash balance. Would consider at $14-$15.

WEAK BUY

Formed a bit of a consolidation range between $18 and $21. If it breaks above $21, it could go up another $4.

BUY

A covered call strategy would be more practical. He would use a stock replacement option instead of the stock. Sell your front month at the money or slightly out of the money Call, month in and month out. This company might have a little downside left in it.

COMMENT

Doesn't think it will get together with Yahoo (YHOO-Q). Yahoo management behaviour during the whole Microsoft bid was appalling bad.

DON'T BUY

Very successful company over the years but they really are living on past glories. Producing a lot of cash but doesn't seem to be able to come up with a home run. There are a lot of companies he would rather own in the technology space.

COMMENT

Microsoft (MSFT-Q), Cisco (CSCO-Q) and Intel (INTC-Q) are probably going to weather the downturn relatively well. They are all effectively utilities and have significantly free cash flows with little or no debt.

SELL

This stock has been doing nothing for a very long time. May bounce back up to $24.

COMMENT

Cash is well in excess of all book liabilities. He likes to get in at 10x peak earnings or less.

WEAK BUY

Likes US large-cap stocks right now and likes the software sector. Most of these companies generate an enormous amount of cash and need virtually no financing. Earnings multiples have come down a ton over the last 8 years. Think you could probably make money on this one. Given a choice, he would rather own Symantic (SYMC-Q) or Sybase (SY-N) but you will probably be okay in this one.

BUY

Have such a fantastic core business that anything acquired is dilutive. The core Windows and Office Franchise continues to generate well over $1 billion in free cash flow every month. Have over $30 billion on the cash sheet waiting to be deployed. Trades at it free cash flow yield of close to 8%.

DON'T BUY

Was on the cutting edge for years and years but seem to have lost their way a little bit. Still a great company and generating revenues. Growing at a lot slower rate than some of their competitors.

SELL

There will be a better chance to buy this company. He is standing on the sidelines right now.

BUY

Really cheap at these levels. Great company and great earnings story. Have an absolute whack of cash.

COMMENT

Back and forth with Yahoo (YHOO-Q). One of the strangest takeover battles she has ever seen. Very cheap on an earnings basis. Expect they will start to return more cash to the shareholders. Have some challenges with their Internet strategy. Probably a non-performer until the Yahoo situation is firmly resolved.

DON'T BUY

Has gone through a tough time with the change in management. Vista launch was not as strong as hoped. Attempted unsuccessfully to acquire Yahoo (YHOO-Q). Not yet clear what they want to do.
