The Outlook For Tech Stocks Grows Dimmer For 2018

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: Wall Street doesn’t expect technology stocks to repeat 2017’s banner year that has seen the sector return almost twice as much as the S&P 500 index. After four consecutive years of outperformance, tech companies face mounting concerns about the potential for increased government regulation and continued rotation by investors into higher-taxed industries as a result of U.S. tax reform. Most analysts see the bull market continuing, but at a less ferocious pace. Here’s a look at their predictions.
Regards,
Ted

    I'd have thought that tech companies would benefit a lot from the tax bill provisions. Some companies were paying way below 35% already, but I thought tech actually was up there.
    Which mutual funds suffer disproportionately when tech suffers?

    Buy on the dips...FinTech, Automation, Robotics, Robo-Advisors, Medical Devices, Bio-Tech, Media, Tele-Communications, Autonomous Vehicles, Smart Everything (except maybe people)...do you really think Tech is growing dimmer?

    Volatility will return, interest rate will rise, inflation may reappear here and there...this is called "normalization". All of the these things will appear unfamiliar because they are....buy on the dips.
