John: Glad to hear from you. Questions you pose have no quick
and easy answers. But, let me offer a few thoughts. (1) Unless
you are a techie and really on top of the business - it is extremely
difficult to pick the really big long term winners except in hindsight.
Even then - you may be fooled by companies outside of your area
of expertise. Many tech companies go thru fits and starts, etc....so,
what to do??? I suggest that there is no solution but hard work.
You must study and dig, dig, dig. Maybe the answer is to con-
centrate in one broad area of high tech - such as telecommunications
Whatever appeals and that your knowledge let's you have a
chance of understanding developemnets as they occur. Then pick
some of the present leaders to follow - don't have to buy - but get
to know them and their products, approaches, and dreams, if you
will. Also add in some new entries to the field - may be recent IPO's
What do they bring (new)to the game. Lastly watch for upcoming
IPO's in the area....do they have a new mousetrap, or just a quicker
cheaper old one. After following the cos. for a while - you may get
a feel for market leadership, innovation and relative strength vs. the
group. (Charts are helpful). If you like the general mkt. outlook -
make a trial buy of a couple of the best. If, your working "model"
proves out - and your picks outperform the group - add to your hold-
ings. As long as things progress (allow for mkt. corrctions to create
some pullbacks) and your stocks remain strong versus the group -
you are on your way to real profits. (2) maybe enough for this
post. Hope I've spurred you on...questions? Don
