December 31, 2008 - Raleigh, N.C. The Technology Stock Advisor, an online investment newsletter, issued its top 5 technology stock picks for 2009, today.
Tom Vass, the advisor to the Newsletter said, “We follow a patented method for selecting technology stocks that emphasizes technology innovation and strong financial fundamentals.” The patented method for selecting stocks is based on a theory of innovation developed by Vass that investigates relationships among companies in nine high technology value chains.
“We believe that the new world competitive dynamic is continuous innovation in new products,” said Vass. “We seek companies that are members of global technology value chains. The companies must have large internal cash flow from continuing operations in order to finance continuous cycles of innovation.”
Unlike most value investment strategies, the Technology Stock Advisor method examines the internal financial fundamentals of the company, the industrial supply chain of the company and the larger macro economic conditions that affect the market demand for new technology products.
The method also sets buy target prices and adheres to a discipline of selling at the pre-established sell target prices.
