Don't know anything about EMC. I thought Netapp is the leader.
You think MSFT will do good?

Their golden goose, Windows 8, is absolute garbage...this is coming from a diehard windows fan.

Their cellphone isn't doing good

their tablet isn't doing good either.

They can return if they have a good CEO. Balmer was terribad.

They need to focus on what they're good at, cut what they're not, and actually release a decent OS.

I think it was the head of Google who had a conversation with Jobs where he learned to focus on what they're good at. Microsoft tries to do too much and ends up sucking at everything.

XOM, Oil will do well in the American boom in oil and the economic recover, and it did not run up over the last year. It pays a nice dividend also.

Note that I'm not a huge follower of trends and just rebalance as time goes on... but my generic observations ...

This year we had HUGE growth in the final quarter of the economy. There will likely be some retreat in tech and industrial stocks... with some exceptions, like BA. They just hiked their dividend by 50% and will likely move more of their industry out of high-cost, labor-heavy WA to the south. Their engineers are smart - they'll find ways to make airplanes assembled by picture books so that the folks int he South can understand them.

I think that housing will continue to be good for Millennials who are buying their first homes and for Boomers who are moving down into condos and townhomes, ditching their McMansions in the burbs. So expect to see small houses and high rises and townhomes do quite well and the burbs stagnate.

Throughout the year, bonds will likely continue to suffer, as will commodities like gold and silver, as peoples' risk appetites shift.

All this means is avoid the high risers and buy the suffering folks and sell your high performing stocks when you're comfortable or at regular intervals to keep the rebalancing strategy.

BBRY will die unless someone buys it for more than its current price. So why risk it all on a tiny chance of that happening imo.
