Investing: Technology Will Keep Changing ((Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Netflix (NFLX), Amazon (AMZN), Twitter (TWTR))

In my books I wrote about how things keep changing and how one must understand that the world is constantly changing. If you pick any year in history and you fast forward 15 years everything has changed. Every 15 years we have a totally different world. If there is an investing lesson that we can take from history is that the world is always changing.

Stock Market: What Is Holding Up The Indexes

In the NYSE there are only a few stocks that are holding up the indexes, Dow Jones Industrials Average (DJIA), the S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq 100 Index. Ten or fifteen big cap tech stocks like Facebook (FB), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG). The assumption is that all of those stocks are going to continue to grow forever, getting bigger and bigger. Maybe some of them will but looking back at history that is rarely the case. Nothing really goes on forever.
