A Trend No One Else is Tweeting About … Yet

Last year, as the NASDAQ Composite finally managed to rally to a new all-time high for the first time since 2000, many technology enthusiasts insisted that this time the rally was on "more solid ground than its counterpart in 2000."

We countered that bullish imaginations were inflamed nearly as much as they were then and stated that the "technology euphoria [of 2015] was powerful enough to fuel another outsized retrenchment by the NASDAQ."

As the index topped in July, we noted the dominance of a few tech heavyweights and stated that the sector was "falling in line with the nascent bear market." At the end of 2015, the champagne corks were still popping, and we quoted widespread expressions of a "limitless belief in technology." While sentiment toward technology "remained effervescent," we observed the narrowing participation of tech stocks and stated that it was a sure sign that the technology sector was ready for its next sobering.

Dive in with us as we explore what's next and get you up to speed with the fast-moving trends in tech stocks. From Apple to Square, Twitter to Tesla, Facebook to Fitbit—a cold new reality is coming for the tech industry.
