The 1 year on tech is 108%</p>
<p dir="auto">In regards the next 12 months, no one knows what the score board will say. I am highly confident that the businesses we discuss here will be doing better then than they are now. Over time, growth translates to higher valuations. You only need to look at any number of stocks on 30 March cf today-what has changed? The business is almost exactly the same but investors are willing to pay, in some cases 35% and in one case 150% more, 6 weeks later.</p>
