Trying to figure out whether tech could ignite the way so many other groups have. Weve seen energy come off its lows. Utilities, the Real Estate Investment trust, homerelated stocks. Lately tech has been threatening to break out despite the largest, better known stocks. Some select Fast Growing Technology stocks themselves. But it was today that really clinched it for me.
