<<Just wondering: why do we call the engineers and technicians who
make it all possible "technogeeks" - a derogatory term, but the
investors who create no value for others "investment wizards" -
a flattering term? Please see definition below...>>

The term "geek" can be complimentary or derogatory, depending on who is using it. I am a geek, so when I refer to my colleagues as geeks, I am using it as a term of respect. To a geek, there is no greater compliment than being called a geek by your peers. If a non-geek calls me a geek, however, it is generally viewed as disrespectful.
