Best High Tech Companies To Invest In Right Now

The Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) closed at another record high today, climbing 52 points in a broad-based advance that saw new all-time highs from the S&P 500 as well. In the latest in the ongoing push-and-pull among various members of the Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee, today's comments swung the pendulum back toward the camp that favors continued accommodative monetary policy that includes further bond purchases. That had the predictable Pavlovian reaction from investors, helping the market recover from early losses even with New York Fed President William Dudley's reminder that the next move from the Fed could result in more bond purchases, indicating continuing concerns about the overall health of the U.S. economy.

In the context of a longer-term market rally, it's important to take daily movements on stocks with a grain of salt. For instance, as I pointed out earlier, Travelers (NYSE: TRV  ) dropped more than 2% today as the company faces the financial fallout of a deadly tornado in Oklahoma. Yet while drops like these almost always happen after catastrophic events, claim payouts are a natural part of Travelers' business. Moreover, the more important long-term drivers of Travelers' future growth are likely to come from the fate of the bond market, and so Travelers investors should keep a close eye on the Fed to see if further interest-rate rises for bonds lead to improved investment returns for the insurance company's portfolio.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Goodwin]

  The resurgence of the US will bring back big-time technology spending and Indian companies stand to gain. However, mainstream software services companies are highly priced. Oracle Fin is one of the few tech stocks that still have some headroom for appreciation.  When US banks invest in technology to comply with new regulations, Oracle will rake in the moolah.
