Do you own tech company stocks?

Okay, so let’s talk stocks, since the economy is in a sort of slump. If you’ve been listening to Leo Laporte and Jason Calacanis at TWiT, they oftentimes mention how an economic slump is usually the best incubation period for startups as a lot of great companies, not necessarily tech, thrived by building value in the downside of the economy and became huge when the recession ended. In Dvorak’s recent Market Watch column he says that we shouldn’t be fooled — acquire tech stock:
The most interesting sector right now, at least to me, is technology. Everyone thinks it stinks, despite its ability to weather all economic circumstance. Also, consider the fact is the whole world is technology dependent and cannot get off the tech treadmill. It’s a good business.
And stock, yeah that’s another thing. I won’t pretend to be an expert in it since I really am not but I’d like to ask my readers, without disclosing anything sensitive – if you do invest in tech stock, especially for mobile phone companies like Nokia, Samsung, Apple and Motorola.
I don’t own any. Stock isn’t my forte and with a past in tech journalism, it wasn’t exactly the best set up for professional reasons.
