The stock is at least causing investors to grin based on the recent surge to new multi-month highs.
In the past, we have examined ways to get diversified tech exposure as well as specific exposure to GOOG, so today we briefly fill in MSFT stock for this same search.
IYW (iShares DJ Technology, Expense Ratio 0.48%) carries an 8.64% weighting in MSFT, followed by IGV (iShares S&P North American Technology- Software, Expense Ratio 0.48%), with an 8.14% weighting.
The gigantic QQQ (PowerShares QQQ Trust, Expense Ratio 0.20%) of course has a healthy weighting to MSFT, at 8.04%.
Two other lesser known ETFs, TDIV (First Trust NASDAQ Technology Dividend, Expense Ratio 0.50%) with a 7.74% and IGM (iShares Goldman Sachs Technology, Expense Ratio 0.48%) which carries a 7.59% weighting in “Soft.” With new leadership emerging in Tech recently, and with more volatility to come in the near term thanks to upcoming earnings reports, expect Tech based ETFs to continue to see heavy trading interest.
