(BUFFETT GOES ALL IN WITH APPLE),

Not every stock comes with Warren Buffett's confession that he would like to own 100% of it. But, of course that stock would have to be a tech stock.
As it stands, the Oracle of Omaha owns 5% of Apple (AAPL), and his confession is still a bold statement for someone who seldom forays outside his comfort zone.
Buffett also continues to concede that he "missed" Google (GOOGL) and Amazon (AMZN).
What a revelation!
The outflow of superlatives invading the airwaves is indicative of the strength technology has assumed in the bull market.
The tech sector has been coping with obstacles such as higher interest rates, trade wars, data regulation, IP chaos, and the globalization backlash.
However, the tech companies have come through unscathed and hungry for more.
Their power is not contained to one industry, and techs' capabilities have been spilling over into other sectors digitizing legacy industries.
Every CEO is cognizant that enhancing a product means blending the right amount of tech to suit its needs.
It is not halcyon times in all of tech land either.
There have been some companies that have faltered or were naturally cannibalized by other tech companies that disrupt business.
Times are ruthless and this is just the beginning.
There will be winners and losers as with most other secular paradigm shifts.
Particularly, there are two types of losers that investors need to avoid like the plague.
The first is the prototypical tech company hawking legacy products such as Western Digital Corp. (WDC) that I have been banging on the table telling investors not to buy the stock.
The lion's share of revenue is still in the antiquated hard drive business that has a one-way ticket to obsolescence.
Yes, they are turning around product mixes to factor in its pivot to solid state drives (SSD), but they are late to the game and deservedly punished for it.
Compare WDC to companies that have completed the transition from legacy reliance to the cloud, and it is simple to understand that companies such as Microsoft, which struggled for years to turn around with CEO Satya Nadella, finally can claim victory.
The problem with WDC is the stock's price action performs miserably because the company is tagged as an ongoing turnaround story.
On the other hand, headliner cloud plays experience breathtaking gaps up due to the strength of the cloud such as Amazon (AMZN), Red Hat (RHT), and Salesforce (CRM), just to name a few.
To pour fuel on the fire, speculative reports citing NAND chip price "softening" beat down the stock into submission.
Effectively, legacy companies become sell the rallies type of stocks.
Transforming a legacy company into a high-octane cloud company is perilous to say the least. Jeff Bezos recently gloated that Amazon Web Service's (AWS) seven-year head start is all investors need to know about the cloud. There is some merit to his statement.
Examples are rife with bad executive decisions by legacy companies such as HP Inc. (HPQ), another legacy tech company that makes computers and hardware. It ventured out to buy Palm for $1.2 billion plus debt after a bidding war with legacy competitor Dell in 2010.
In 1996, the Palm PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) was the first smart phone on the market that predated BlackBerry's smart phone with the full keyboard made by RIM (Research in Motion).
The demise of Palm emerged from a hodgepodge of mismanagement, failed spin-offs, misplaced mergers, and resource wastefulness even with the preeminent technology of its time.
(HPQ)'s stab at the smartphone market resulted in purchasing Palm. However, after heavy selling pressure in its shares, HP shut down this division and sold off the remaining technology to Chinese electronics company TCL Corporation.
The sad truth is many transformations fail at step one, and there is no guarantee a newly absorbed business will perform as expected.
RIM, now changed to BlackBerry (BB), soon found out how it felt to be Palm when Steve Jobs dropped the first iPhone on the market, and the world has never been the same.
(BB) gradually morphed into an autonomous vehicle technology company after the writing was on the wall.
The other types of losers are companies with inferior business models such as Snapchat (SNAP), which I have written about extensively from the bearish side.
In an age where disruptors are being disrupted by other disruptors, CEOs must live in fear that their business will get undercut and hijacked at any time.
Instagram, a subsidiary of Facebook (FB), has permanently borrowed numerous features from Snapchat. Its Instagram "stories" feature is now used by more than 300 million daily users.
Snapchat is serving as Instagram's guinea pig while CEO Evan Spiegel finds an alternative way to survive against Facebook's unlimited resources.
Both are in the game of selling ads and nobody does it better than Facebook and Alphabet or has the degree of scale.
The recent redesign was met with a chorus of universal boos. The 60 minutes I spent testing the new design reconfirmed my fears that the new design was an unmitigated washout.
In short, Snap's redesign seemed like a different app and became incredibly difficult to use.
Compounding the deteriorating situation, Snapchat laid off 120 engineers due to sub-par performance and withheld last year's performance bonuses even though co-founder Evan Spiegel received $637 million in 2017.
The latest earnings report was a catastrophe.
Daily active user (DAU) growth, the most sought out metric for Snapchat, failed to deliver the goods. The street expected 194.2 million DAU and Snap reported 191 million. A miss of 3.2 million users and a deceleration of growth QOQ.
Remember that Snapchat is substantially smaller than Instagram and should have no problems surpassing expectations on a smaller scale, thus investors voted with their feet and bailed on the stock after the catatonic performance last quarter.
Instagram is six times larger with more than 800 million users as of the end of 2017.
Top line fell short of expectations and average revenue per user (ARPU) dropped to $1.21, far less than the expected $1.27.
The less than stellar redesign faced a rebellion from long-term Snapchat disciples. More than 1.2 million Snap diehards signed a petition hoping to revert back to the old interface, and its updated ratings in Apple's app store has fallen to 1.6 stars out of 5.
Then the perpetual question of why would advertisers want to pay for Snapchat digital ads when they earn more by buying Instagram ads?
This remains unsolved and appears unsolvable.
Snapchat is befuddled by the pecking order and the company is on a train to nowhere.
To hammer the nail in the coffin, Snapchat announced to investors that it expects revenue to "decelerate substantially" next quarter.
In an era where technology companies will lead the economy and stock market, and has an outsized influence in politics and culture, not all tech companies are one-foot tap-ins.
Investors need to separate the wheat from the chaff or risk losing their shirt.

(FACEBOOK GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH),
(FB), (AMZN), (GOOGL), (NFLX)
Everyone and their mother was waiting for Facebook (FB) to fluff their lines, but they defied the odds by posting solid performance.
The data police can go back to eating doughnuts because it is obvious that regulation won't fizzle out the precious growth drivers that Mark Zuckerberg relies on to please investors.
I even begged readers to buy the regulatory dip, and I was proved correct with Facebook shares rebounding from $155 to $173.
The dip buying was proof that investors have faith in Facebook's business model.
The Cambridge Analytica scandal threatened to tear apart the quarterly numbers and place Facebook in the tech doghouse, but stabilization in Monthly Active Users (MAU) and bumper digital ad revenue growth was the perfect elixir to an eagerly anticipated earnings report.
Facebook showed resilience by growing (MAU) to 2.2 billion, up 13% at a time when attrition could have reared its ugly head.
The market breathed a huge sigh of relief as the Facebook beat came to light.
The battering that Facebook received in the press effectively lowered the bar and Facebook delivered in spades.
The unfaltering migration to mobile continues throughout the industry with mobile digital ad revenue making up 91% of ad revenue, which is a nice bump from the 85% last quarter.
Overall, Facebook grew revenues 49% YOY to $11.97 billion.
There is no getting around that Facebook is a highly profitable business due to the lack of costs. I should be so lucky.
Remember at Facebook, the user is the product.
Instead of paying for rising TAC (Traffic Acquisition Costs) as does Google (GOOGL) or the $8 billion outlay for Netflix's (NFLX) annual content budget, Facebook pours its money into improving its digital platform and advancing its ad tech capabilities.
However, moving forward, Facebook will have to cope with extra regulatory costs.
Facebook recently hired a legion of content supervisors at minimum wage to root out the toxic content roaming around on its platform.
Site operators have doubled to 14,000. This number gives you a taste why the large cap tech names are best positioned to combat the new era of regulation.
Doubling the staff of any business would be a tough cost pill to swallow.
Many companies would go under, but Facebook has the cash to mitigate the additional cost of doing business.
This defensive initiative casts Facebook in a better light than before like a superhero rooting out the evil villain.
Facebook and its co-founder Mark Zuckerberg need to hire a better public relations team to ensure that Mark Zuckerberg isn't pigeonholed in mainstream media as the monster of tech.
The Amazon-effect is infiltrating every possible industry, and even the bigger tech names are coping with the Amazon (AMZN) spillage onto competitors' turf.
A risk down the line is Amazon's booming digital ad business nibbling away at Facebook's own digital ad model.
ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) remains robust with Facebook earning $23.59 per North American user, which is the most lucrative geographic location.
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is a tool that Facebook has implemented into its platform and monitoring apparatus.
Removing damaging content preemptively is the order of the day instead of being blamed for harboring nefarious content.
One example of this use case has been targeting ISIS- and Al Qaeda-related terror content with 99% of inappropriate content removed before being flagged by a human.
Heavy investments in A.I. will make Facebook a safer place to share content.
Big events exemplify the strength of Facebook.
During the Super Bowl in February, around 95% of national TV advertisers were simultaneously posting ads on Facebook because of the viral effect commercials and posts have during massive events.
Tourism Australia is another firm that bought ads on Instagram and Facebook platforms during the Super Bowl.
The campaign was hugely successful with half the leads for Tourism Australia coming directly from Facebook.
Facebook acts as the go-to provider for quality digital marketing and this will not change for the foreseeable future.
Investors can feel comfortable that there was no advertiser revolt after the big data chaos.
Facebook is improving its ad tech, and new ad products will be introduced to the 2.2 billion MAUs.
For instance, Facebook developed a carousel of rotating ads on Instagram Stories, and advertisers will be able to share up to three video or photos now instead of one. If the user swipes up, the swipe will take them directly to the advertisers' websites.
The shopping experience is more personalized now with an updated news feed that will show a full-screen catalog to help the user find whatever is in their search.
Facebook will only get better at placing suitable ads that mesh with the users' interests or hobbies.
Investors must be cautious to not let macro-headwinds sabotage existing positions.
Facebook's underlying growth drivers remain intact, but the stock is vulnerable to regulation headline risk that caps its short-term upside.
There is also the possibility that another Cambridge Analytica is just around the corner, which would result in a swift 10% correction.
Next earnings report should be interesting because it will reflect the first quarter that Facebook has operated with higher security expenses and will go a long way to validating its business model in a new era of rigid regulation.
If Facebook does not fill in the moat around the business, then Facebook is braced to grow top and bottom line with minimal resistance.
The cherry on top was the additional $9 billion of buybacks giving the stock price further support.
Facebook is a long-term hold but a risky short-term trade.

(AMAZON KILLS IT AGAIN),
(AMZN), (WMT), (FB), (TGT), (GOOGL)
Jeff Bezos is a god.
Well, not quite but he is turning into one after Amazon delivered a mythical earnings report that left Amazon haters in awe.
The Amazon bears patiently waiting for the day of reckoning will have to wait longer as Amazon smashed earnings expectations by a magnitude of two or three.
Amazon had a lot riding on the most recent earnings report after racing to new highs in mid-March.
The brief macro-correction then gave investors yet another entry point into one of the best companies of our generation that is still up more than 30% this year.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue reaccelerated from its 42% growth last year to a high octane 49% YOY and made up a disproportionate 73% of Amazon's operating income.
Amazon is heavily reliant on the AWS segment to carry it through feast or famine.
According to Jeff Bezos, its critically acclaimed cloud segments' outstanding results originate from the "seven-year head start before like-minded competition."
This reaffirms the benefit of first-mover advantage with which large cap tech is obsessed.
There is room for other companies in the cloud space, with the cloud industry expanding 20% in 2018 to $186 billion.
Therefore, expanding by 20% is the bare bones minimum to be considered relevant.
Amazon has positioned itself to funnel in the most dollars that migrate toward the cloud as the industries pioneer and best of breed.
After the latest earnings report, Amazon is in pole position to become the first publicly traded $1 trillion company.
This latest quarter wrapped up its 62nd consecutive quarter of 20% plus growth.
And the commentary coming out of the earnings reports makes it almost certain that Amazon will capture more market share.
There were a few bombshells dropped that were unequivocal positives for investors.
First, Amazon has become the third player in digital ad industry with the duopoly of Google search and Facebook.
Amazon revved up its digital ad revenue by 139% QOQ to a substantial $2.03 billion per quarter business.
This business is particularly appetizing because of its high margins and will help alleviate tight margins on the e-commerce side.
Amazon's digital ad business is by far the fastest growth lever in its portfolio. It will ramp up this side of the business whose main function is to match consumers with suitable products that consumers otherwise would miss out on in a standard Amazon search.
The extraordinary numbers support the notion that the hoopla of Washington regulation is all bark and no bite.
Facebook also delivered a prodigious quarter for the ages amid testimony and public backlash that resulted in immaterial damage to top- and bottom-line numbers.
The second bombshell announced was the change in pricing to prime members. Amazon upped its annual prime membership to $119 from $99.
This additional $20 price hike, or 20% on 100 million prime members, will swell revenue by an extra $2 billion of incremental revenue.
In total, Amazon will accrue a bonus of 4% of revenue by this price change.
Amazon has a high fixed-cost business, and slightly tweaking prices will create a huge windfall with the revenue almost entirely flowing down to the bottom line in the form of pure profit.
Many industry analysts claim that Amazon has the best management team in the industry and explicate this company as an "Internet staple."
More than 100 million products are delivered with free shipping for Amazon prime customers. This is starkly higher than the 20 million products shipped for free in 2014.
Amazon does everything in its power to offer a unique and efficient experience for customers.
The customer satisfaction reveals itself by the rock-bottom churn rate.
Amazon prime at an annual cost of $119 is such a value that no analysts even dared to ask Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky if consumers would take issue with the rise in price.
Investors and strangers alike assume that broad-based reoccurring revenue from annual prime membership is a given.
In an era of mass-scrutinization, Amazon's earnings call seemed like a celebration of the mythical achievements that are changing consumer behavior by the day.
The lack of inquiry was justifiable this time because the one major shortcoming suddenly remedied itself.
Amazon's doubters frequently attack the lack of margin growth because its business model is first and foremost a land grab for market share ignoring any remnants of margin stability.
Now that Amazon's digital ad business has sprouted up, the margin story, starting from a miniscule base, will go from weakness to an unrelenting success.
Amazon started with its ultra-thin margin e-commerce business that made an operating loss of $160 billion in 2017.
Cranking up a shiny, high margin business will be hard for the other FANGs to compete with as they gyrate toward other businesses that have lower margins than Amazon's digital ad segment.
This is a horrible time to start fighting Amazon in price wars as the paradigm shift to quantitative tightening has made the cost of capital demonstrably pricier.
Operating margins almost doubled from 2% to 3.8% on $51 billion of quarterly sales.
This is a huge deal.
Amazon has been continuously harangued for "not making money." Well, that era is over.
Profits, and not only revenue, will start accelerating and Amazon will become the closest thing to a perfect company.
The years and years of plowing cheap capital back into fulfillment center and e-commerce activity gave Amazon a stained reputation for years.
However, as Amazon turns the screws and uses its foundational leverage to capture additional profits, the other FANGs will be forced down the same path ruining operating margins for the other big players.
Amazon telegraphed its quest for market share strategy to investors years ago, and investors understand they are paying for growth and growth only.
That will change now that profits have become a real part of its arsenal.
There is no doubt that Amazon will deploy its profits back into expanding its company because Jeff Bezos knows that if he can grow Amazon's top-line number, investors will follow suit.
Also, spending means improving the products, and Amazon has never hesitated to spend big.
The move into digital ad growth is a warning shot to Facebook and Google. Amazon will mobilize its workforce to take on other business, and anything that is high margin is fair game.
The future looks bleak for retail competitors Walmart and Target, as the contents of the earnings report reaffirms Amazon's unrelenting assault on the retail sector, which is systematically being dissected by Amazon for fun.
Google search and Facebook are in Amazon's crosshairs. Staving off this monster will be hard to do in the long run.
Amazon has a clear path to further market gains, and operating margins are almost at a tipping point.
Revenue is poised to re-accelerate because of the reignition of AWS to a higher growth trajectory.
Shoring up operating margins through a burgeoning digital ad division will only be a boon to earnings in the future.
Amazon is one of the best companies in the world, and any weakness in the stock should be bought and held forever.

(THE SMALL AI PLAY YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF),
(BOX), (GOOGL), (MSFT), (AMZN), (IBM)
The cloud segment of technology is hotter than hot, and as this sector starts to trade at a big premium, investors will have to look further down the chain of command to find a reasonable deal.
An up-and-coming cloud service Box (BOX) has gone undiscovered and is in position to seize a larger share of the cloud market moving forward.
The firm is led by CEO Aaron Levie who dropped out of my old alma mater USC in 2005 to start a cloud company with acting CFO and childhood friend Dylan Smith.
Last quarter was record-setting for Box, and it had a number of significant six- and seven-digit deals. Keep in mind Box's revenues are paltry compared to the behemoths that run this industry.
The platform has seen gradual success from all corners of the business world with various businesses from insurance claims processors to wealth advisors who use Box as a back-end platform.
Health care is another industry deploying the Box platform to aid and develop cloud services for patients.
In a general sense, the beauty of the cloud is the propensity to adapt to any company that is willing to go digital.
Even though many legacy companies are not natively digital, the cloud can twist and contort to fit the customers' needs.
Levie raised some compelling arguments for the continued tech momentum stating that imminent regulation in Europe through General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will act as a "broader tailwind in compliance and security efforts."
Box also announced a "readiness (GDPR) package" revealing that tech companies have been planning for the regulation overhaul up to 18 months in advance.
Even though mass media sensationalism would lead investors to believe the threat of regulation is about to blindside this whole sector, the unrest has been bubbling up for quite some time allowing tech companies ample time to get their houses in order.
Box actually sees the genesis of GDPR as a critical part of the cloud adoption process.
As dinosaur systems become outdated, a sense of safety reinforced by strong cybersecurity protection, strong privacy rules, and content compliance will nudge companies to head for the cloud like a drunk sailor to a pub.
Legacy platforms are the most susceptible to cyber-criminals and rogue hackers.
The analog defense is no match for sophisticated cyber-espionage, and GDPR will be another "driving force" behind the macro-migration shift to the cloud, just based on the security aspect alone.
Another pearl of wisdom offered by Box is that the bulk of clients requiring cloud products are integrating Microsoft Office 365.
This software acts as a lynchpin to any cloud service.
I must confess that I am writing this story on Microsoft Office 365 now, and most businesses cannot function without the dizzying array of Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
Box has a strong relationship with Microsoft and has incisive insight into the synergies the cloud industry spins off.
The integration of Office 365 has complemented the Azure cloud with tighter cohesiveness.
The school of thought is the collective cloud industry is a $50 billion per year market and growing, offering smaller firms healthy growth levers to advance at the same time that the Microsofts (MSFT) and Amazons (AMZN) overperform.
At the Sohn Investment Conference in New York, Chamath Palihapitiya, a venture capitalist and former Facebook executive, extolled Box as a great way to play Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The shares spiked almost 13% upon his adulation.
A recent completed survey showed 66% of business leaders feel the pace of digitization must pick up in their own offices.
The speed of innovation is something that keeps most CEOs up at night. Wake up tomorrow and it is possible their core products could be outdated or disrupted by a new Amazon threat.
That is the world we live in now.
Only 42% of CIOs admitted they have a digital strategy. And of those digital strategies, they are mostly digital second or third, not digital first, blueprints.
In the same PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) survey, companies conceded that only 40% of IT teams are able to pursue the newest innovations with adopting specific operational needs in mind.
The micro-environment harbors the same bullishness as the macro-factors.
Box is hitting all the right notes.
Revenue is advancing at a 24% per year clip, and annual revenue surpassed the half a billion mark.
Box has indicated it expects to cross the $1 billion annual revenue threshold sometime in mid- to late 2021, giving the company more than three years to double revenue.
Recent reports support Box's growth trajectory.
About 60% of revenue derives from firms that employ more than 2,000 workers, highlighting Box's propensity to emphasize enterprise cloud development instead of small individual users.
Working with larger companies gives Box the opportunity to cross-sell more powerful add-ons, delivering a net expansion rate of 14%.
Migrating to a new cloud platform is incredibly sticky boosting retention rates. Box's churn rate is flourishing with a best of breed 4% per year. The key to expediting cloud success is quickening its pace of new product rollout.
Box attempts to give exactly what customers need with a spate of new concoctions.
Box GxP is a new product calibrated around life science companies. The Box GxP compliance is up to date with FDA regulations. And, Box has the ability to retire legacy ECM (Enterprise Content Management) systems.
This new service has experienced solid traction around the world as we head toward a world where legacy software becomes obsolete.
The second new offering is Box Skills, still in beta mode, which is a part of Box's artificial intelligence strategy.
Box is platform neutral allowing in-house architecture to support partnerships with Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM to nail down third-party cloud tools that Box customers need.
Box Skills is a framework that brings the best machine learning innovation to content securely stored in Box.
This is managed through artificial intelligence, which automatically contextualizes images through detection protocols. Text recognition is automated for the benefit of the user, too.
Audio intelligence renders text transcripts and detects topics that can be searched in Box to locate an audio file by words or topic.
Video intelligence offers transcription, topic detection, and facial recognition allowing users to jump around video files in a non-linear fashion.
Palihapitiya effectively gave Box a free commercial to the tech investing world. His bull thesis for Box squarely centers around its AI innovations, specifically Box Skills.
The last new service to market is Box Transform, which is the advanced consulting arm of Box.
The goal of Transform is to arrange a concierge-like Box advisor that can help companies accelerate digital transformation throughout an organization while unlocking efficiencies and productivity for employees.
This service originated from Box's consulting advanced professional services team and will give Box another growth lever. Companies such as Red Hat and Intel have made the consultant- and support-side of the business a robust part of their organizations.
Impeding growth is the cutthroat competition in this space with Amazon, Microsoft, and Google (GOOGL).
However, margins remain strong at 75.5% last quarter, and Box expects margins to slightly dip around 74% this year.
Box has found a warm welcome for its newer products, deriving almost 70% of its new deals from fresh cloud offerings.
Partners are also a big source of new deals comprising more than half the deals over $100,000.
Specifically, IBM (IBM) made up a swath of its larger deals. In a sense, competitors are not really competitors.
They are frenemies. They compete against each other yet innovate and do deals together.
The core growth is supplemented by existing customers that are the best source of extra marginal revenue.
In short, once firms are firmly lodged on a platform, they buy everything on that platform.
Enter a supermarket, and odds are if goods are purchased, the receipt will be from the entered supermarket.
Box is entirely leveraged toward mid-sized and large enterprise business. That is where it makes its money.
The emphasis on large players boosts the ACV (Average Contract Value), which is regarded as a sacrosanct metric for Box.
The amount of data created in 2017 was more data created in the past 5,000 years. In the next five years, data volume with grow by 800%.
Box has continually positioned itself as the firm that can extract a staggering amount of unrealized value locked away in the nooks and crannies of legacy models.
Box is a great long-term hold as these diminutive cloud assets become more valuable by the day.
