Technology stocks also made many people very rich. Some of the wealthiest and youngest persons in this world made their wealth on the internet or in related industries. I don’t talk about the Page brothers from Google, Facebook's Zuckerberg or Bill Gates.
This alone is a reason why we should observe the technology sector because there is a huge potential of growth at limited cots. Today, I like to proceed with my January research of the most recommended stocks and I do this at the technology sector.
Below is a small list with some fundamentals about tech stocks with the highest buy rating. I excluded stocks with a market capitalization below USD 2 billion because I think the risk should be much higher as for mid-capitalized stocks.
These are the results: Eleven of the best to buy rated stocks pay dividends; nine have a strong buy rating.
Here are my favorite stocks:

The Long Term Debt/Equity Ratio illustrates how aggressively a company is financing its growth via debt. The more debt financing that is used in a capital structure, the more volatile earnings can become due to the additional interest expense. Should a company's potentially enhanced earnings fail to exceed the cost associated with debt financing over time, this can lead the company toward substantial trouble. Debt is normally not relevant for tech stocks but for telecoms which are also part of the sector. I dont't agree with BT and China Telecom.
