Stock Opinions by Ed Snyder

COMMENT
Wimax: Radio system for providing high bandwidth connection. Very young and only a couple of companies are trying to put it out. Doesn’t have a very bright future. Several similar systems have been attempted back to 1999 and all went bankrupt.

WEAK BUY
Big debt. Only a short period to play this one. Intel (INTC-Q) is about a year or more ahead of them in product and about to come out with a new product that will hit full scale in the 4th quarter. You could trade, but get out if it hits $8.
electrical / electronic
DON'T BUY
Motorola
Have lots of problems. Has another $1 to drop. This quarter won’t be pretty and there’s not much on the horizon that’s going to help.
communications / media
BUY
You could probably do well with this. Have both the iPhone and the Blackberry. Won’t see a lot of competition in the next couple of quarters. Be careful more than 2 quarters out as the reality of the iPhone may disappoint.
Cable
SELL
Sierra Wireless
Makes PCMCI cards, basically 3G cards for laptops that people use when they sign up for any of the carriers that 3G services. A really limited market as most people don’t care enough to spend the extra. Look for a good exit point.

TOP PICK
Nokia
3.2% dividend and buying back 5% of their stock a year. A lot of hype on the iPhone will tend to push the stock down but this is really no threat. Throwing off tons of cash, $11 billion last year. In a good position and will get stronger.
Telecommunications
TOP PICK
Builds the radio modules for cell phones. Diversified supplying Nokia, Samsung, LG, Motorola, Apple and RIM. Good for those that want a cell phone stock but doesn’t want to bet on one particular company. Good management.

TOP PICK
Qorvo Inc
Trading below cash now. Missed estimates and guidance 3 times last year and changed direction in their business model last quarter. Got pummelled. Out of favour and trading at a very low level. Good revenue and decent cash flow and just cut investment in a money losing area so margins are going to pick up.
electrical / electronic
BUY ON WEAKNESS
BlackBerry
Likes this stock. Apple (AAPL-Q) stories are pushing down valuations. Fundamentals are good and Apple sales won’t affect their area much.
