Since I work in infotech, my investments are currently concentrated
there.=A0 Following the general strategy of picking market leaders in a
fast-growing market, I would recommend a distribution of investment
capital among the following companies:
Microsoft
Intel
Compaq
Dell
IBM
Sun
Netscape
Oracle
Of these, performance over the past 5 years ranges from the moderate
(50% in two years for Netscape) to the truly astounding (2200% in 5
years for Dell).=A0 Compaq, Intel, and Oracle all come in between 1000 =
and
1300% over the last 5 years.=A0 Microsoft is a comparatively measly =
500%.=A0
IBM an anemic 200%.
A couple caveats:
1) This performance reflects a very strong bull market in the same
period.=A0 A bull market especially favors growth stocks.
2) This investment strategy is quite likely to produce years of =
negative
growth.=A0 Use it only if you are willing to accept some risk, and =
willing
to hang on tight to your investments for a period of several years.
good luck!
