It should be noted that Fisher Investments On Technology does not provide an All-in-One, always win, or Silver-bullet concept, approach to investing in Technology since every investment is different and unique. The book does provide a main framework for possible and aspiring investors though and helps the candidate to better understand the technology market. The book, complete series, should be seen as such and stock valuations or even assistance with deciding whether to invest now or not can not be expected, nor are offered. Fisher Investments On Technology instead aims at delivering the tools: a solid foundation, thinking pattern and understanding to the reader who is interested in repeated and successful investing in the Technology market, wants to learn to estimate the market better.
