Technology shares have been battered over the last three months, but I expect the group will lead the broader market to new highs later in the year. While everyone is worried about the economy, the earnings numbers and forecasts that tech companies are providing should make investors very bullish for '08.
The likes of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Juniper Networks (NASDAQ: JNPR) and Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM) all beat the Street's estimates and raised guidance. What makes this even more interesting is that each company operates in different technology sectors, so it appears that corporate spending is still strong, and that should have a big impact on earnings going forward.
