Everybody says technology companies will rock in the future and will be the winners after the recession. The ETF gives a good exposure to the big names within the technology market segment.

In looking at the charts, it can be seen that tech stocks haven't fallen as far as the broader market during the most recent downturn and they have speedily recovered their losses and moved on to new highs. International growth is the driver that is propping up technology. Just as we have seen energy and materials markets driven higher by demand from China, India and other emerging markets, the potential exists for the same thing to happen to technology. We are already seeing it in the earnings reports of the larger companies who are reporting strong growth overseas and modest growth in the US. In addition, tech is less vulnerable to the sub-prime mess and the credit crunch. Interest rates are less of a concern since tech stocks tend not to carry excessive amounts of debt. Valuations of tech stocks are also reasonable at current levels. Tech stock PEs tend to be high and now is no exception; however, the stocks are nowhere near the nosebleed levels of the late 1990's and 2000. Though there still seems to be plenty of VC money being thrown at wacky tech start-ups (I read TechCrunch and shake my head sometimes), today most of the tech stocks that are gathering attention and making new highs are companies that are actually executing well against solid business plans. There are other reasons to be bullish on tech stocks: video is eating up bandwidth, the world is going wireless, businesses everywhere want to increase productivity via technology, the web is enjoying a resurgence, there are new gadgets coming to market and generating buzz, the list goes on.
