The last five years I've spent as a trader, but now that I've finally built a small stash, I'm looking at allocating a portion of it to long term investments. I've been doing a lot of stock market research and narrowing down which stocks have good potential for growth.
If you've dug into the tech landscape lately, then you know that a majority of the small cap tech stocks are down at least 50% from their highs with many in the 65-90% range. There has been a huge bear market turning underneath the surface for some time. The strength of the big boys have provided the illusion to the casual observer that all is well.
