If you make money by buying low without knowing something that someone else does not, then you are either a genius (unlikely) or just plain lucky!

Look at the "experts" at Lehman, Fannie, Freddie, Bear, AIG, etc. There is no doubt that tech stocks are more attractive today than they were 1 year ago. The long-term fundamentals have not changed but the Nasdaq 100 is down from a 52 week high of 55 to 42 today. Buy low, sell high. Are we at a bottom, probably not, but who knows. If you want to invest in tech, I'd recommend the Nasdaq 100 as the way to go. It tracks the top 100 companies on the Nasdaq, is highly liquid, and as an ETF you can buy and sell it like a stock and pay virtually no management fees. QQQQ also has a very liquid options market.

For the past 3 years, Apple's stock has dropped in September, only to rise ~20% by mid January. The reasons are more than technical.... 1 - Holiday season means huge sales. 2 - Apple has 2 big announcements coming, a - the company's 4th Quarter results due by year end, b - the company's annual event @ Moscone center. 3 - Apple lowered guidance for Q4 and the stock plummeted. By September, the lowered guidance value has already got reflected in the stock. 4 - Moscone Center involves hype and AAPL stock reacts positively to the hype. 5 - Russia and China are going to end up selling iPhones by year end. Expect that to have bump in sales. 6 - App store is on track to touch 1B+ mark at faster rate than iTunes.
