A treasure trove of tech stock information
I’ve written before about Bert Hochfeld. He has been producing a treasure trove of information and opinion on tech stocks, with a deep dive on a different stock almost daily. His write-ups are the best I’ve ever seen, in terms of reasoned discussion, lots of information, and a balanced presentation. They are nothing like MF recommendations, and are much, much more complete and knowledgeable discussions. It’s an amazing service for investors, and free and public! Here is a list of his articles, and I’ve highlighted presentations I was especially interested in. A link to this is below. If you have any interest in tech stocks you should read through this list.
