By: Money_Morning
David Zeiler writes:
From 1990 to 1999, Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) shares soared 10,000%, making the chipmaking half of the so-called "Wintel" duo a stock that almost every investor wanted to own.
And why not: Intel's processors served as the brains of 90% of the world's personal computers. And the PC market was booming.

For most of the 1990s, U.S. high-tech heavyweights Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT), Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) and Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO) didn't just dominate their respective markets.
They ruled them.

Eye on Apple / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
For you Apple (AAPL) devotees, and I consider myself among the faithful, my near-term work argues that the correction of the late-April upleg from 320.16 to 360.90 ended (finally) on Tuesday at 330.75.
Since that low, a new upleg has started that likely completed its initial upmove this morning at 342.40. If my work is accurate, then AAPL has entered a correction of the upmove from 330.75 to 342.40, and could press next into the 335-332.50 area in the hours ahead.

Netflix Is More Than Just Special Effects / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Money_Morning
Jason Simpkins writes:
Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX) shares have surged 764% in just two-and-a-half years.
And yet there are still investors, analysts and businessmen who continue to doubt the company - choosing instead to believe that its meteoric rise is more flash than bang.

Is Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) Undervalued? / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) last year passed Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) to become the largest technology company by market capitalization. Overall, it's now second only to Exxon MobilCorp. (NYSE: XOM) in size.
But shockingly, even at $323 billion, Apple still looks cheap.

Bullish on Cisco / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Right now all of my work in Cisco (CSCO) argues very strongly that the April 19 low at 16.52 ended its bear market phase from its April 30 high at 27.74. If accurate, this means that the strength off of 16.52 either represents the start of a powerful counter-trend recovery rally (that projects to 18.20/50 next) or the start of a new bull phase that should propel CSCO well beyond 18.20/50.

Eye on Apple Stock Price Support / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
We could make the case that today Apple (AAPL) broke down from a 4-month top formation when it sliced beneath 328.00-326.00 support (now resistance). As long as AAPL continues to consolidate below 326-328, the bears will remain in directional control.

This Tech Bubble is Different / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Trader_Mark
An interesting take in BusinessWeek as we embark on yet another bubble, this time in social media. (which you must embrace as a momo investor, until they crash) Unlike previous "tech" bubbles (say PC era, or internet era), which left something tangible behind when they busted, this time around there appears we'll have little to show for a central banker gone mad showering the world with liquidity. (heck yesterday an unprofitable car rental company that had no market interest last fall went ballistic on its IPO) As an aside, Groupon looks to be coming public in Q3 at a valuation of $15-20 Billion. I bet it doubles on the first day - after all, money for nothing and chicks for free....

Apple May Be in Trouble / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Jared_Levy
I am a firm believer in the Peter Lynch style of investing. Peter Lynch's mantra was to "invest in what you know." So many of us tend to get caught up in complicated algorithms, strategies and analysis, when all we might have to do is simply open our eyes to what is happening right outside our front door.

Can Apple Punch Through Resistance / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
This morning's pre-open down-gap in Apple (AAPL) and spike to 327.49 so far has turned out to be the low for the larger downleg off of the Mar 28 high at 354.34. The spike low, followed by what is shaping up to be a significant upside reversal so far today, also can be considered another test of critical three-month support at 326.50/00 from the day that Steve Jobs announced he was taking a leave of absence.Read full article...

The Battle to Dominate Could Based Computing / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Money_Morning
David Zeiler writes:
Cloud-based computing is shaping up to be a major battleground in the U.S. high-tech sector for the rest of this year, as companies compete to deliver such services as music streaming to consumer-based mobile devices.
And it figures to be a true clash of titans, with such high-tech heavyweights as Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN), Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL), Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG) and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) serving among the major combatants.

By: Pravda
Investment firm General Atlantic is going to purchase 0.1 percent of world's largest social network Facebook.

By: Money_Morning
Jason Simpkins writes:
After falling off the radar for three years, the U.S. IPO market is off to its best start since before the financial crisis. And with several high profile technology companies set to go public this year, it's likely to carry that momentum forward.
Companies around the globe have raised more than $26 billion through initial public offerings (IPOs) this year, a 20% increase over last year and the best start on record, according to Dealogic. Globally, 15 IPOs were crammed into the first two weeks of February - a month that last year had seen a total of just four IPOs.

Opportunity Knocks For Mobile Computing Stocks / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Stocks swung from the rafters over the past week with a sense of drama that has been missing for the several months as bulls and bears battled over the 1,300 level of the S&P 500.
Like many round numbers of the past three years, this level is the dividing line between the view of optimists and pessimists, and it looks to me like the optimists are on the verge of another big win.
