Tech Lags Broad Market as Rotation out of Sector Continues -- Tech Roundup

Shares of technology companies rose, but not by as much as the broad market, as a rotation out of the sector continued.
"If you look at any industry that's been overcapitalized over a long period of time it takes a while for the market to digest that," said Eric Marshall, president of mutual-fund firm Hodges Capital.
"You saw it back in the Dotcom era where we had several years of easy capital formation within the tech sector to be followed by a decade of underperformance of tech."
While there will always be some growth companies that lure investors, "there's probably still some wood to chop within the tech sector," Mr. Marshall said.
