G:

Can always count on Fortune.com. Although directly under Top story headline under 'More Stories' is:

10 Tech Trends to Bet On
The big news: Tech lives. But the Internet boom is going through a painful period of transition. Fortune's experts lay out niches to mine, as well as 16 stock picks (and four pans) that could pay off.

In any event, writer of headline story is really doing the old tongue-in-cheek kind of thing. One sentence really sums up the story:
'So if all goes according to form, this article should be enough to calm jittery investors and start moving everybody's retirement accounts back into positive territory. No need to thank us--we're just doing our civic duty.'

Cute, now they can claim victory either way. though it almost becomes slapstick by last line:
'Which means what, exactly? Dunno. But we'll reiterate our bold pronouncement: This bull is dead. And now that we've said that, we're really, really looking forward to the Dow hitting 20,000 next week.'

I've seen better 'bits' on the Yahoo! boards. Ugg.
