>into growth areas such as Healthcare equipment/instruments and Business 
>Sevices. Of particular note this month is the high representation of media

>bodes well. Other areas with good representation are telecom (select 
>cellular and equipment companies), computer services and business 
>services. I don't see it as particularly troubling that more retailers

>20 (or so) years and I don't think it would be out of the question there

>quasi-cyclical sectors in the future. Tech supports many industries and
