Money shift from commodity stocks to tech?

All of the money coming out of oil and gold and other commodity markets has to go somewhere - there is a lot of buzz around Tech for 2007. With companies like Google and Apple shining in the sector, some analysts think there is a lot of play in small caps in the tech sector

Again, what we have seen, these "trends" seem like short term thinking and can shift in a day. I am not sure I believe its time to leave the commodity markets if you are a long term player, since the driving global demand is still there. Not much has really changed other than perception and some sell off by bigger players.

So what are the individual investors to do? Don't be a trend follower- is a trend leader and pick your spots to get in on weakness

With that said, I do have a lot of optimism for the tech sector as it has been out of favor for a while and we see first hand how tech and the internet are changing the global face of business to increased online advertising to increased online sales and ecommerce - those trends and data are real

From what we see on our site traffic, the interest in commodities from individual investors is alive and well based on how they are searching and what they are researching.

Also from our site stats- looks like this could be good year for renewable energy stocks
