"To help us pinpoint some tech stocks to buy -- and some to avoid -- we spoke with Price; Seligman's Wick and his associates, Reema Shah and Ajay Diwan; RS Investment's Allison Thacker; Ed Snyder of Charter Equity Research, and Glen Kacher of Integral Capital Partners, a technology hedge fund. A couple of other trusted sources also were consulted." -- Mark Veverka
