Stock market portfolios in tech or electronic industries

BravoV:
Never see any discussion or chit-chat about stock market portfolios in this forum especially in technology and electronic related industries.

Let me start 1st, by bragging at my current best performer in tech related, ARM Holdings Plc., grabbed handful of them in mid 2011.  ^-^

Whats yours ?

The problem with holding technology stocks is that you don't know if the company will survive in 10 years time or not.  With the rapid pace of change, companies that may rule the world haven't even been invented yet.

For example, tablets are here to stay, but who will be profitable making them 10 years from now?

I can, however, be reasonably sure that Coca Cola will still be in business 10, 20, even probably 50 years from now (and profitable and pay dividends).

Since I live in Canada, Canadians all know the story about Nortel Networks which was a 100+ year old company that got decimated and its stock down to zero.

Another example.  8 years ago, virtually everyone was doing the "crackberry prayer" and no respectable adminstrator would allow the highly unsecure and toy like Apple products onto the network.  Today, Blackberry is on the ropes and survival is questionale.

Of course, I'm not denying that and totally agree, but again, as oldie says, never put all your eggs in one basket.

I have been watching Altium stocks, but they seem to be stuck on $1.20 per share. Danaher, like it or not is growing very steadily, but I think the stocks would plummet if Tektronix has to close.

To be honest, Dave's rants on Altium somehow affected part of my view and decision toward their stock.  ::)

Uh oh... Tektronix .... should I prepare to take short position on Danaher ?  >:D ......  j/k
