I watch only a few tech stocks because they ain't really been a favorite of Wall Street since the Y2K bubble burst. Cisco, Intel, Texas Instruments, Microsoft, Oracle, Google, Yahoo!, and a couple of others. Mostly, I keep an eye on the Philadelphia Semi Idx (SOXX or ^SOX, the idx ticker differs on different quote sites). Watching the sector thru the idx and scalp or swing is about the only advice I'd type. Altho, I might be willing to hold long term because, probably, they'll pay better than keeping $$$ in the bank.
