VentureBeat: Technology stocks swinging back into favor

  • Aziz · 2 years ago
    Seems like a good time, especially for companies like facebook to attempt going public. If Google doesnt jump into every online product, there is a good chance that companies like Zoho, Yelp and other up and coming players might consider going public as a better alternative. The next half a decade should be very interesting!

    I dont buy this technical analysis of the market. . . it ignores some fundamental issues with the economy. Mainly that if credit crunch reduces the value of real estate in the U.S. and commodity prices continues to rise - its inevitable the economy goes side ways . . . when that does happen, enterprise and consumer spending on tech is the first thing to go . . not to mention that online advertising will drop significantly too (which is really driving the latest 2.0 boom).

    Will, good point. My assumption is that the credit crunch will have some impact on the economy, but not enough of a negative impact to stop technology spending from continuing to grow. For example, I view online advertising as a secular shift that can weather the economic cycle.

    I agree with Aziz in that I feel the second half of the decade will be very interesting. I think we'll see a lot of newcomers the second half...
