Interesting stat in Barron's:

"Technology now accounts for a record 24% of the S&P 500, up from 13% as recently as yearend 1997 and just 7% in 1990. The only other time in the past 20 years that any industry so dominated the stock market was when energy issues accounted for 27% of the S&P at the end of 1980."
