Q: What other companies do you expect to benefit? A: Another company we own that is also a play on Internet usage and the proliferation of video content is Akamai Technologies [AKAM]. It's been a bit out of favor of late but it put up a really good quarter recently, even though there was some gross-margin erosion because of pricing issues.

Q: Beyond Internet plays, what do you like? A: Research In Motion [RIMM] has been a huge name and it could get bigger. RIMM has only 1% of the worldwide handset market.

  • $32.88

Q: That doesn't sound like huge growth. A: They've got a new vaccine against sexually transmitted disease in Gardasil and a drug to help control Type 2 diabetes in Januvia. It's a fairly strong pipeline at the same time operating margins are expanding. This is one of those nice quiet names with great international exposure at a time when the dollar is weak.
