Dec 22 2006
After the Dot-Com burst, the serious burnt investors who’re still licking their wounds sweared never to touch technology stock again while the not-so-greedy investors who managed to sell to lock-in profit or even break-even took pride in themselves for being smart or lucky enough. But since then is technology still a growth sector?
Based on compilation from S&P (Standard & Poor) on the 2006 technology growth, there seems to be profit registered from these stocks but on a lower scale with some exceptions. To grow at exceptional rates, tech companies need to deliver exceptional performance.
