Micron Technology, Inc. (MU): Tech Stock Investing, Simplified

Page 2 of 2

Other companies didn’t do as well last year, but could see their fortunes change in the coming years. Nuance Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:NUAN), a major developer of speech-recognition software, shed 19%, in part due to some disappointing earnings. Nuance is threatened by weak demand, shrinking margins, and intensifying competition. Carl Icahn has taken a big stake in the company, but some doubt the wisdom of that. With its seemingly low valuation, some see it as a buyout candidate, and bulls like its prospects in health care.

The big picture
Demand for technology isn’t going away anytime soon. A well-chosen ETF can grant you instant diversification across any industry or group of companies — and make investing in and profiting from it that much easier.
