Top Stock Picks for the Week of Aug 13, 2018
Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) used to be an after-thought by most technology investors after it spent nearly a decade in the wilderness after the dot-com bust. But a new CEO along with some smart acquisitions like LinkedIn and GitHub, along with a growing cloud business, has put it back in the investor spotlight. This Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) still has an attractive valuation, with a forward P/E of 25.
Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) needs no introduction, as its blow-out quarter has resulted in big estimate revision upgrades from the analysts. After making $4.55 in 2017, Amazon is expected to make $17.27 in 2018, which is earnings growth of 279%.

Should these two companies be on your investing short list? Find out in this week’s video.
