When it comes to finding growth in your portfolio, the tech sector has been the go-to industry for years now. As technology has intertwined itself more into our daily lives – from work to our homes –- its growth curve has been tremendous. And the long-term picture is even rosier. There’s still plenty of disruption and tech adoption to be had.
At the same time, recent stumbles have some investors questioning tech’s current status as the place to find growth – especially after the sector’s torrid run-up in the last few years.
But don’t be fooled by the hiccups. This isn’t a symptom of a widespread sell-off or abandonment of technology stocks. Tech’s long-term growth is assured. And in that, investors should be buying every share they can get their hands on.
