Doug Butler explains why Rockland Trust remains overweight on Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL) while keeping limited semiconductor exposure, including Texas Instruments (TXN) and Nvidia (NVDA), as higher rates threaten AI and data-center financing. He says hotter inflation could increase the chances of two Fed rate hikes this year, but notes that four-year bull markets have historically tended to keep running. Butler also sees a valuation opportunity in mid-caps, which he prefers over both large- and small-cap stocks.
