“… the degree of disparity in results among larger tech companies in the future is likely to be very dramatic. And if I had the skills where I could pick the winners there, I would do a lot better than if I had skills to pick the winners in the major integrated oil field” Warren Buffett, 2011.
There’s no denying that the tech sector has great growth potential possibly more than any other sector in the market.
Tech winners like Amazon and Apple has grew at least over 25,000% in the past two decades. Not to mention stocks like Tesla and Zoom that has each grown over 300% this year alone.
We all know how rewarding tech stocks can be, but investing in tech stocks successfully is a big deal.
Picking a tech winner requires more than normal (average) stock investing skills.
Even the great Buffett is just beginning to figure it out, admitting that in spite of the overvaluation of many tech stocks, picking a tech winner reward miles beyond normal.

3. The Big Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google
Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google are the four most influential companies on the planet. Just about everyone thinks they know how they got there. Just about everyone is wrong.
For all that’s been written about the Four over the last two decades, no one has captured their power and staggering success as insightfully as Scott Galloway.
Instead of buying the myths these companies broadcast, Galloway asks fundamental questions. How did the Four infiltrate our lives so completely that they’re almost impossible to avoid (or boycott)? Why does the stock market forgive them for sins that would destroy other firms? And as they race to become the world’s first 2 trillion-dollars company, can anyone challenge them?
In the same irreverent style that has made him one of the world’s most celebrated business professors, Galloway deconstructs the strategies of the Four that lurk beneath their shiny veneers. He shows how they manipulate the fundamental emotional needs that have driven us since our ancestors lived in caves, at a speed and scope others can’t match. And he reveals how you can apply the lessons of their ascent to your own business or career.
Whether you want to compete with them, invest in them, or simply live in the world they dominate, you need to understand the Four.
