Times are tough and these are times when you need a steel stomach to be able to buy, then see that stock go down and then BUY some more. When we look back at these times we will see how silly we were (that is if we were not buying.)
I will make this short and simple. Although it may seem like the dot com revolution is over, the truth is that it has not even started yet! We will see yet another surge but this time companies will have concrete business plans. Otherwise they will not receive any venture capital funding. Additionally in the next few years, more brick and mortar companies will get into online commerce. This will only propel companies such as Oracle, Sun, JDS Uniphase, Cisco, Miscrosoft, and Intel, just to name a few. To own stock in these companies, specially at current trading levels will make you look like a genius in a couple of years.
Invest wisely!
