7 Best Tech Stocks to Buy in 2019

Finance.

The end of 2018 may be the end of a ten-year bull run that hit after the collapse of 2008. One sector that hasn’t really done so great during the run has been tech, with some saying it’s underperforming by at least 30%! It’s a great opportunity if you believe that technology can solve the problems humans face today.

Keep reading for a list of some of the best tech stocks you can invest in this year!

1. Amazon.com (AMZN)

Continuing their dominance in all things cloud, Amazon continues to lead this new industry. Suffering a huge setback in October (a loss of 25% in one month), Amazon is poised to be a great buy for long term investors in 2019.

Amazon plans to roll out a new kind of grocery store, challenging the likes of Walmart in the big box space.

2. Baidu (BIDU)

Everybody has heard of “Chinese Google”. Baidu has dominated the Chinese search engine space. 2018 was a disaster for the company, equity wise, but they may have been suffering from a tough economic situation.

One thing is for sure, there is going to be a Chinese search engine. Baidu seems to have the favor of the Communist Party in China, which makes it a good bet for investors.

3. Apple (AAPL)

In 2017, Apple became the biggest company in the history of the world and has stayed there ever since. Tim Cook heads the behemoth company.

Historically, it’s one of the best tech stocks to buy. For long term investors, the sheer size of the company guarantees Apple isn’t going anywhere.

4. Adobe Systems, INC (ADBE)

If Apple isn’t your thing, you might consider dabbling in some of the tech stocks that are either competitors or at least alternate channel producers. Adode Systems makes many things, including the PDF file format. Apple would rather PDF go away, but consumers love it, and so it’s in the iPhone.

5. Cisco (CSCO)

If you’re looking for tech companies to invest in that are “not Apple”, Cisco occupies a solid space in the retail and commercial data router space. They make the equipment that makes the internet work properly. Competitor switch stock and Huewau have struggled to compete with the equipment behemoth.

6. Cognex (CGNX)

Cognex is a major manufacturer of machine vision systems. Machine vision is the ability of computers and manufacturing equipment to visually see what they are doing.

A major concern for humanity is the automation of industrial jobs. Whether you support the idea of robots taking all the jobs of not, someone is going to make money building the components. Cognex is poised to be one of those companies.

7. Activision Blizzard (ATVI)

Activision Blizzard took a beating in 2018.

They split with boutique producers of Bungie (the company that makes the Destiny game ). As a perennial brand and the makers of the ultra-popular Call of Duty, Activision Blizzard isn’t going anywhere. ATVI might be one of the best technology stocks to buy after the dust settles.
