Technology stocks have lost about 75 percent of their value since the dot-com bubble burst. Everyone believes technology will continue to play a role in this country's long-term growth. But how can you find technology stocks that are still worth your investment dollars? The author gives some guidelines that every investor should heed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

What's ahead for technology stocks, and the stock market as a whole? There has been an impressive rally in technology stocks since March 2009. But as we write this in April 2010, technology stocks and the stock market overall still appear to be modestly undervalued when looking at current values with respect to expected earnings for Standard & Poor's 500 companies in 2010. However, the authors believe that the government artificially inflates the earnings with various economic stimulus programs. So the stock market rally can continue-as long as the government is able to support it. But what happens when the money runs out? And what about the risks of excessive government spending? © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The author suggests that the stock market might approach the bottom of its decline during the first half of 2009. And he believes that technology stocks, which have held their price better than the rest of the market, are likely to lead the market higher. But several developments may squelch that recovery—including the geopolitical situation and rising protectionism. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ABSTRACT We argue that "the 2008 Oil Bubble" was directly and indirectly created by the Federal Reserve in response to deflationary risks that resurfaced after the housing bubble burst and the resulting credit crisis of 2008. Deflationary risks first appeared after the dot.com bubble burst in 2000 and after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Manipulation of the US dollar value has been one of the key emergency tools in the Fed's arsenal. During the entire period from 2000 to 2008, the US dollar has been falling, while the price of crude oil has been rising, with the culmination in July 2008. If other global central banks embrace the Fed's anti-deflationary strategies, the consequences could be dire for the global economy, potentially resulting in an ultimate gold bubble.
