It'd be great if we all had money to buy even one share of Berkshire Hathaway, which, as of March 17, was trading at $506,139. But, alas, there's reality. You have to twiddle your pennies and hope that you buy "some stuff" that will stand the test of time (and grow, preferably, exponentially!).
Therefore, you're naturally left with the idea that you can scoop up "the big one" for cheap. Easier said than done, especially if you're not well-versed in fundamental analysis or if you can't dip into Warren Buffett's brain with the right methodology to identify and buy securities priced well below their true value. (Anyone else envy Graham and Dodd's security analysis principles? Can we all agree that they're a pretty good basis for investment decisions?)
Let's walk through some true great tech stocks that have massive potential. (Quick, before everyone else picks up on how awesome they are.)
Why Buy Undervalued Tech Stocks?
Tech stocks have been catapulting downward recently, not to mention that investors have sold tech stocks like crazy. This means you have some major opportunities, especially if you plan to haul these shares around for the long term.
But what does it actually mean to be undervalued? An undervalued company stock is one that is consistently profitable and has burgeoning long-term growth prospects. However, its share price is cheap compared to many of its peers. Undervalued tech stocks can be a real prize for buy-and-hold investors willing to wait for blossoming returns.
Bank of America even reported that mutual funds and hedge funds flimsy on tech outstripped the percentage that were overweight by 10%, the lowest number of tech stocks by a long shot — for years.
Another telling sign: The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite is down double digit from their high just mere months ago.
Sounds good, right?
