Tim Brown — Stock Analyst

Former Heisman Trophy winner, Tim Brown, is now (like me), a columnist at TheStreet.com. (Editors note, for clarification, I’ve never won the Heisman.) Here’s a sample from Tim’s debut column:

I am starting with the best of the best: Microsoft. Not only is this a world-class company, it is a steal at this price. It closed at $29.39 on Friday and is much closer to its 52-week low ($26.87) than it is to its high ($37.50).
The idea behind my picks is just like my approach on the field: find a weakness and exploit it. On the football field, I would look for any advantage I could get on the opposing cornerback. In this case, the weakness is not with the company, but rather with Wall Street’s valuation of the company. The Street has unfairly picked on Microsoft, and we will pounce on this opportunity. Not long ago, Microsoft was trading at approximately $35.00.
