In a recent interview with IT Radio Network, Walberg discussed the old economy vs. the new economy, and today's hot stocks to watch. "We're hearing a lot these days about talks of the old economy versus the new economy," said Walberg. "The old economy being the Procters & Gambles, McDonald's and Ralston Purinas of the world. And the new being Qualcomm, Nokia, CommerceOne, Ariba, and you definitely want to make sure that's where the growth is." During the interview, Walberg also discussed some of the stocks he's excited about, and the hot stocks to watch. "In business-to-business, (the hot stocks are) CommerceOne and Ariba; in the wireless area, Qualcomm, Nokia; and the emerging names like Puma Technologies," said Walberg.
