Pat Dorsey, Director of Equity Research has released two videos. In the videos he talks about his view on where the opportunities are in the market and discussed a number of individual stocks in each sector.
He is not impressed with valuation level of the Tech sector. In the tech sector, the only two names he would recommend are high-tech equipment provider: Applied Materials Inc. (AMAT, Financial) and KLATencor Corp. (KLAC, Financial). “Both of which have very very strong competitive positions, what we would call wide economic moats. A far amount of upsides to the shares, but again pretty economically sensitive, and really some of the only values we are seeing in technology right now.” Commented Pat Drosey.
