Tech Sector Turns to Past for Future Profits story.news.yahoo.com But when business demand catches up, you'll have a thunderstorm," George Colony, president of U.S. consultancy Forrester Research said at a conference here this week. "We are due for another thunderstorm now," he said. HANOVER, Germany (Reuters) - Technology companies at CeBIT, the world's largest annual electronics trade fair, hope inventions from the past decade will reverse their fortunes in the next. No major new acronyms were launched in the northern German city of Hanover, as the two trillion dollar-per-year technology industry focuses on making money with the buzzwords of previous years, such as Wi-Fi, 3G and Bluetooth. "It takes a society a while to digest the old technology. But when business demand catches up, you'll have a thunderstorm," George Colony, president of U.S. consultancy Forrester Research said at a conference here this week. "We are due for another thunderstorm now," he said. Silicon Valley-based Intel, the world's largest chip maker, rallied all major computer makers behind its new Wi-Fi computer chip, which hooks laptop PCs up to the Internet without wires. U.S. phone maker Motorola teamed up with music TV channel MTV to deliver video clips to handsets, while consumer electronics maker Philips said it will sell high-speed Internet products through Dutch telecoms operator KPN.

This is considered a failure in a former hyper-growth industry, grown fat on double-digit sales gains three years ago.

So you think the bear market ended back in October too? That is possible but let me remind those who believe that this is true that historically bear markets are full of tremendously fast and furious rallies like this one that is currently taking place. It is only March. We are historically in the months of the year where the stock market is very strong. New lows could still be in the cards later this year. I think we will see those new lows. In other words I believe this is just another bear market rally. A monster rally but a bear market rally all the same. RtS
