Revisit the dangers of investing in technology?

Most technology firms are evolutions. The danger of investing in technology is obsolescence. Another new gismo and all your investment goes down the drain.

For most of us, technically oriented, even MIT education does not give us an advantage. But over the years looking at the handbooks of physics and chemistry, one understands the limitations to avoid science fictions. What one learns is the convergence of technology to achieve the ultimate technology in the next ten years to make technology a safe investment.

No one has to do what Warren Buffett does, to avoid technology and invest only based on demand increase of population growth(low tech companies).

The new technology for the next ten years is telecom convergence technology. Watch the development and standards being set for everything we use. Cell phone can control your garage doors and appliances, also HiFi and TV without going thru microwave towers. Digital TV will be practical in no time at all without ghost images and blue screens.

Arthur,

"Do they talk about technical analysis? Hell, no! They put their money where
their mouth is, and keep on buying to prop up their investments. That's why
Rukeyser is still there after all these years; his customers don't lose their
money."

Can you tell me exactly what percentage of "These fund managers"
that don't use technical analysis beat investing in index funds?
