      Oracle’s Dividend Still Very Healthy 
  Image Source: May Wong. Oracle issued what is likely conservative fiscal first-quarter 2019 guidance, but the company continues to generate record amounts of operating cash flow and has a solid net cash position on the books. We’re not worried about the dividend. Jun 7, 2018
     
        
      Microsoft Wins GitHub Over Alphabet 
  Image Source: Microsoft deal presentation. Microsoft has agreed to acquire GitHub for $7.5 billion. Competing bids may have driven the price tag higher, but Microsoft’s financial flexibility remains top-notch. Apr 23, 2018
     
        
      Alphabet May Need to Clean Up Its Spending 
  Alphabet, the company formerly known as Google, put up decent first-quarter 2018 results with respect to the top line, but the company is facing a rising cost and capital-spending profile. The first quarter could have been a lot better, in our opinion. Mar 27, 2018
     
        
      Value Investors Starting to Salivate Over Facebook’s Fall 
  Image Source: DonkeyHotey. Facebook is becoming a value investor’s dream: a stock with fantastic free cash flow generation and balance sheet health dealing with transient headline noise. We’re waiting for shares to start to turn upward before we would consider adding to the hypothetical weighting in the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. They look cheap!

      Market Overreacts to Facebook News 
  Image Source: Christopher. The headline news seems concerning, but we’re taking a long-term perspective with Facebook. We doubt the news will meaningfully impact the trajectory of growth of its long-term free cash flow, and we’re not reading too much into events that seem heavily-influenced by the overheated political environment.

      The "Luck" and "Randomness" of Index Funds

      What Goes Up… Well, You Know the Rest 
  Groundhog Day proved to be painful for the markets. Though a few companies disappointed with respect to their earnings reports, the real reason for the sell-off is two-fold: the market is overpriced by most metrics and Treasury rates, used within valuation frameworks, are rising.

      Microsoft: A Dividend Growth Giant 
  Image Source: Microsoft. Microsoft is no longer a tech dinosaur. Estimates suggest it is beating Amazon at its own game. We’re huge fans of Microsoft’s free cash flow generation and balance-sheet health and what that means for the dividend. There’s not a lot to dislike about Microsoft, and while the risks are many, few company’s have a stronger business model. Jan 6, 2018
