3Extended Outperformance?• Tech Advantages Still Hold:
– Outstanding revenue/earnings growth relative to valuation.
– Superior ROE in rising inflation world.– Upside Black Swan potential?
• Obstacles (look to the unexpected):– Macro is now good. What could hurt it? – Emerging bubble, potential worry.– Could cyber security breaches cause an ugly correction?

5AAPL, Focus on the Forest?• Yes Indeed.
– More conviction in my “great disruptor is BACK” thesis.
– 64-bit + Touch ID = huge innovation lead. – Security/payments will come.– Market share gain thesis is underway. – Big screen iPhone is next key! – AAPL will assault digital marketplace and margins
could expand further.

6 Wearables – My Vision• Google Glass has an early lead. But does
Apple pull an iPod on the industry?– Next secular consumer driver. – GOOG Glass should be great, but… – AAPL will probably start slow and gain share as
multiple products emerge. Discerning Markets? – Watch out for the Semi’s. SOX is in breakout mode,
wearables could be next secular driver. – I see 30-50% growth from medical devices for
years, AAPL will likely dominate this category.

6FEYE and Security Super Cycle• Security Super Cycle – My thesis has
arrived– Next secular enterprise theme. – FireEye (FEYE): the next CSCO/AAPL? – Target security issue isn’t a Target issue. – This space is a playground for the disruptors. – PANW in the mix. But Palantir is likely the next
closest thing to FEYE. – FEYE has doubled - another coming.

7 M&A Does it get Silly?• M&A saw strong gains last year. It seems
poised to accelerate. • Software will always be strong space –
TIBX/BSFT etc.? • Security – can incumbents sit back and do
nothing? • Network/Security Convergence – RVBD etc…
• Payments

8 Emerging Networking leaving Old Guard behind?• CSCO… whoa is me!• JNPR has to do a deal. • CIEN sits in a very nice position – 100G and
beyond. • FFIV similar, in nice position in its respective
space. • GIMO/BLOX and XXIA entered the vertical. • M&A could/should see action.

9 Let’s talk IPOs – Square, Dropbox and Palantir• Remember “FEYE is the next Splunk
(SPLK)”?• Square -- The next Visa/MA/PayPal? • Palantir – The next FEYE?• Dropbox – The next hmmm, hard to comp.• Yes, TWTR was 180 degrees different than FB
in early trading!!

10 Thoughts on Earnings Season/Market Call.• Bullish – AAPL, TWTR, FFIV and most
TechStrat portfolio names. • EBAY – Square coming so needs to be
“good enough” for potential big move. • Overall, Q1 EPS season is off to good start.
Better upside reports coming in next few weeks.
• My Market call is still big up/down move. 1998 as potential mirror.
