"Where Best to Invest?"
PAUL KANGAS:Tonight we continue our annual look at "Where Best to Invest." A team of our veteran market monitor guests identified three sectors as prime for growth this year: energy, technology and healthcare. Joining me now for a look at where best to invest in the tech sector is Art Russell, technology analyst at Edward Jones. And Art, welcome back to NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT.
ART RUSSELL, TECHNOLOGY ANALYST, EDWARD JONES: Thanks for having me, Paul.
KANGAS: What is, in your opinion, the really big story for investing in tech stocks this year?
RUSSELL: I think a lot of these technology names have lagged the market and investors are concerned about the potential for future growth and as a result, the valuations on a lot of these names have come back down to levels we haven`t seen in more than a decade. So I think it`s a great opportunity for investors to own some of the industry leaders within technology at very attractive prices.
"Tech ETFs to the Rescue!"
The market is showing signs of relief as the major indices have experienced some great up days despite a lack of positive news regarding our economy. As an investor, you maybe wondering what your options are to return to the equity market with as much prudence as possible. The first thing to note is that the IT S&P 500 Component has done extremely well, up 11.80% YTD. A great way to re-enter IT is through the purchase of well constructed Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). ETFs are a great way to capture the upside potential of various companies while maintaining diversity within your IT portfolio (or any portfolio). The key to ETF evaluation is to select low cost and well constructed ETFs making it important to conduct due diligence on the major underlying securities of the vehicle. ETFs can be a great short to medium term security to enter during volatile environments to maintain exposure to certain companies. I have been looking at a few technology ETFs and have compiled a list of the best three and provided some analysis regarding their holdings and future outlook.Click here to read more
