What Do Geeks Invest In?

Future Linux-Guru asks: "When Microsoft's stock price took a dive on the news of the judgment [last week], I wondered how many geeks were affected -- either because they held stock in MS, or because it was a holding in one of their mutual funds. What stocks do Geeks invest in? And how do Geeks invest for the future?"

E-Trade accepts a min. amount of $1000, and most others sounds to be the same.

For those of us that know the tech sector well, there's plenty of opportunity to turn this into something.

Example:

Say it was about 6-8 months ago. Buy 100 shares of Corel at 4, 100 shares of Xybernaut at 6. Corel peaked at 44 (it's now at 10) and Xybernaut hit about 24 or 26 or so. Assuming you hit the peaks and sold, you'd have $7000.

Alas, knowing when to sell is the hard part....
