Are These The Best Stocks To Buy This Week? 4 Tech Stocks To Know

As tech stocks tumble over valuation concerns, could this be an opportunity to buy on the dip?

Should You Consider Buying These Tech Stocks Right Now?

Tech stocks are off to a slow start this week. U.S. stocks, in general, were mixed today as market interest rates around the world climbed amid improving recovery hopes and a near-term end to the global pandemic. This latest slump does not mean that the tech sector is crashing. Rather it may be that tech stocks are lagging behind other sectors that are exposed to the traditional economy. These sectors usually benefit from more fiscal stimulus and U.S. lawmakers will debate on Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus this week. 

With the U.S. reaching herd immunity possibly by April, this raises the prospects of a post-pandemic boom as businesses may open by then. Due to the effectiveness of the vaccine, U.S. cases have already dropped by over 70% in the last 6 weeks.

How will top tech stocks fare in a post-pandemic world? Given how we have adopted tech so much into our lives in the last 1 year, our dependency on them would be here to stay. Today, we have already gotten used to shopping on Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and have all our entertainment needs on Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). The conveniences that these tech companies provide will be the norm moving forward. With that in mind, here is a list of top tech stocks to watch in the stock market today.
