"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

"Its forward-looking P/E of 32.7 is lower than Amazon's 57.3. She also predicts that Google will offer its own wireless-phone handset. Shares traded around 669 on Thursday, but Shah sees them climbing to 750."

NOK
Nokia Cp Ads - $16.21
- +1.82%
- $16.03
"Nokia's American depository receipts, at 39, are still priced for growth at about 18 times forward-looking earnings. The emerging mobile Internet can only help Nokia."

"Pro forma operating margins, which better reflect cash flow, have jumped from single digits to about 24% in the past few years, she notes. Shah thinks they can hit the low 30s."

"At around 26 last Thursday, the stock is trading at 10.1 times forward earnings, and Diwan thinks it can hit 30-33 a share in the next 12 months."

PRO
Pros Holdings Inc - $6.93
- +16.47%
- $6.02
"Revenue is recognized upon implementation and delivery of the product -- rather than contract closing -- which provides more visible and consistent accounting for investors. The Street sees 2008 revenues growing about 25%. Thacker thinks that can continue. Shares were trading around 13.50 last week and the consensus price target is 16. Thacker believes that's low."
