This is all just my opinion but I think it's generally a bad idea to buy "value" tech . Tech companies have to be consistently ahead of the rest of the market to be investable - that's where their (short-lived) moat comes from - and they have to reinvest earnings intelligently to maintain that moat.

Historically, tech companies that fall behind just never recover, so hold them whilst they're in front and sell them as they inevitably begin to fall behind. XRX, IBM, KODK and many others aren't companies to invest into. INTC could work out but it's unlikely. Imo, wait for valuations of current big tech to come back to reality and then buy them. To me, AMZN at under 50x earnings could be a steal, or GOOG at under 15x earnings, or Meta at under 12x earnings... it all depends at how you view each company.

If you're worried about not working out when their end has come, there are always signs. You will generally spot them. For example, acquiring shitty companies just because there's a chance it could bring you back into the field (*cough IBM cough*).

Anyway, as I as said at the beginning - all jmo.

And as I've often said, all of the rules of what to do/not to do don't really matter.
What really matters is how well you execute your strategy. Look at bruwin - there's lots of stuff I like (and stuff I don't like) from his strategy but, imo, his success comes from rinsing and repeating a strategy that he worked out. Copying his strategy blindly probably wouldn't deliver you the same returns that he has made - and it's also why copycats of Buffett have never succeeded. Stay true to yourself and I think you'll probably do ok.

Best,

Re: JNPR

Juniper Networks shareholders overwhelmingly approve HP Enterprise buyout; JNPR +0.11% ; buy out at $40/share; have a few of these I bought 10/2023 at $25.50
