How investing in high-tech can make you rich--even if you don't understand the technology
How do you find the next Netscape or Intel? How can you avoid losing your shirt on start-up companies that suddenly fizzle and die? And how can techies and non-techies alike get the edge on Wall Street's booming high-technology sector?
Whether the stock market is enjoying an explosive bull run or retreating in the face of a possible bear market, the world of high-tech has become the most important investment opportunity of our time. Now, in Every Investor's Guide to High-Tech Stocks and Mutual Funds, Michael Murphy shows that you don't have to be an engineer or research scientist to do well in technology stocks. From software to communications to biotech, Every Investor's Guide to High-Tech Stocks and Mutual Funds provides refreshingly clear, jargon-free analysis of the seven key technology industries, sharing coveted insider tips and wisdom that will supercharge your portfolio's results.
Focusing on long-term investment strategies--including the easy-to-use Growth-Flow strategy that has made Murphy's California Technology Stock Letter one of the top-rated investment publications in the world--Murphy answers frequently asked questions and guides readers through the dos and don'ts of putting your money into high tech. Got the inside scoop on an upstart software company or a great no-load fund that has skyrocketed in the past six months? Murphy shows you how to evaluate opportunities, decipher industry hype, and pick your shots with care. Unsure if you should heed the experts' warnings about the economy and the oncoming investment slump? Murphy offers sure-fire techniques for knowing when to invest--and when to get out. Simply trying to fund a comfortable retirement? Murphy examines a variety of stock and mutual fund options and helps you assess which ones best suit your needs.
Whether you're investing in Blue Chip stocks or convertible bonds, this groundbreaking book provides essential information on how to build a technology portfolio, how to calculate the downside risk of any investment, and how to apply Murphy's unique, proven Growth-Flow model to maximize your returns. With detailed company profiles, stock performance records, and contact information for twenty-six of the best technology mutual funds, as well as forecasts for the next five years, Every Investor's Guide to High-Tech Stocks and Mutual Funds arms individual investors with everything they need to cash in on the current technology boom and beat the Dow in the stock market's hottest sector.

As the stock market has risen to ever-greater heights in recent years, high-tech stocks have led the way. But how many investors, though up to their ears in tech stocks, truly understand what they own? Michael Murphy, editor of the California Technology Stock Letter, makes it his business to understand the breakthroughs in science and engineering that are reshaping our lives. His book, Every Investor's Guide to High-Tech Stocks and Mutual Funds, is a useful guide for investors, both beginners and pros. It includes rundowns on the latest trends in semiconductors, computers, software, communications, and medical technology. This second edition includes a chapter on investing in Internet stocks. Murphy presents his own strategy for picking tech stocks, and offers recommendations of stocks and technology mutual funds that may have the best long-term prospects.
Praise for Michael Murphy and the California Technology Stock Letter:
"One of the best in picking and planning high-tech stocks."
--Forbes ASAP
"Michael Murphy is the genuine article: a fundamental analyst who has developed a unique way of using the underlying financials of a company to value its stock."
--Worth
"A near legend in Silicon Valley for his stock-picking prowess."
--Nation's Business
". . . . the man many regard as America's top technology guru."
--Kirk Kazanjian, Wall Street's Picks for 1997
"Technology stocks are great buys certain times of the year. At one part of the year they can be dangerous to hold. Michael Murphy reveals this unique seasonal phenomenon for the first time."
--Yale Hirsch, Stock Trader's Almanac
"Four letters stand out for consistency of results and good performance in relation to risks taken. Notice that three of the four letters on the [1996] Honor Roll--all but Michael Murphy's letter on technology stocks--followed mutual funds rather than stocks."
