VIP Alliance Weekly Update

Each week, I will be providing my favorite conservative and aggressive recommendations for my VIP Alliance members.

Each of these is an existing recommendation from my investment and trading services, but ones that I feel are particularly timely.

I. Conservative Recommendation

Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B)

A recommendation in both Smart Money Masters and the Alpha Algorithm, Warren Buffett’s investment vehicle is having a rather unspectacular year, up only 1.31% year to date. That trails the S&P 500’s gain of 8.51%.

BRK-B has pulled back sharply since late April. It is now technically oversold and due for a bounce.

II. Aggressive Recommendation

Intuitive Surgical (ISRG)

Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Silicon Valley’s Sunnyvale, California, Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (ISRG) designs and manufactures the da Vinci Surgical System.

Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of Intuitive Surgical two weeks ago with a buy rating and put a $1,000 price target on the stock.

That’s potentially another quick 10% upside from the stock’s current price of $910.

Sincerely,

Nicholas A. Vardy
