Now May Not Be The Time To Be Scared Of Tech ETFs: (IYW)

FYI: Among S&P 500 sectors, technology makes for a predictable victim amid escalating trade fears. The export-heavy nature nature of the sector speaks to that as does a month-to-date decline of 4.1% for the iShares U.S. Technology ETF IYW, -3.22%, an exchange traded fund widely known for having one of the larger weights to Apple Inc. AAPL, -4.62%.

IYW has a three-year standard deviation of nearly 16%, well above what investors find on standard broad market benchmarks, and while tech has recently been turbulent, now may not be the time to throw in the towel on ETFs like IYW.
