“I wouldn’t say the tech rally is over,” Skip Aylesworth, a portfolio manager at Hennessy Funds, told the Financial Times. “What you have are some companies that have gotten so big that the year-over-year numbers don’t compare well. They have also become more mature — there is not the innovation to drive the growth.”
