Ok, I never liked Tech stocks, but most of them are too high in price or, I'm not really a growth investor, rather. Can't even buy 10 shares of AAPL, it's simply not worth it, or as appealing as C, LYG or AIB. I like banks and energy.
But Howard spoke of tech stocks and it got me go on a goose chase.
I'm looking at DRAM and TRID. Both are under 2 bucks and look promising, with recent upswings and a good future ahead.
Got any of these gems lurking around, other than the biggies like GOOG or MSFT. Looking to diversify my portfolio.

The Tech stocks I watch are: VMW, AKAM, BIDU, CRUS, AMZN, XLNX, FFIV, NTAP, CSCO, CTXS, PCLN
I look at the charts for all of these...
You can find good stocks from reading The Investor's Business Daily.

Researching tech stocks is fun. It makes my hours run away so fast that I can't even keep track. What more, I'm a former industry insider. I think that's why I hated tech stocks  |

a recent decline in MU looks like a good play for long term.

I like Harris (HRS) for the fact that it pays a dividend above 1% and continues to obtain contracts from a variety of countries for its radios. Not too many tech companies -known as 'growth' plays- pay dividends.

DSGX (small logistics software manufacturer) and TRMB (Trimble Corp, GPS hardware/software) are two i have long had my eye on, but they have remained expensive. TRMB in particular is expensive, and I think will grow along with government revenues, which means "not anytime soon." DSGX is a better play.
I think IBM is an underrated firm that is cheap, with solid earnings, a ton of intellectual property, and a diverse customer base. It is just not "sexy" enough for most people.
