The technology sector should be one that you should watch again in 2007. Microsoft’s new Vista operating system recently introduced and Apple’s innovative iphone close to releasing both companies with trustworthy names. On the video gaming front, you have Sony and Nintendo competing for consumer’s attention against Microsoft’s Xbox 360. In addition, cell phones are becoming smaller with longer battery life and more features than you can imagine.

Remember, though, just because these products are wonderful and they are being produced by some of the big names in the industry, does not mean their stock performance will be magnificent.

Before you make your decision on which tech stock to purchase, do your homework.

The top five contenders at this time are:

ADV MICRO DEVICES (NYSE - AMD)

INTEL CP (Nasdaq - INTC)

DELL INC (Nasdaq - DELL)

Texas Instruments (NYSE - TXN)

IBM (NYSE - IBM)
