7 tech stocks that heat up as antitrust talks cool

For most of the past year, Congress has had “big tech” in its sights. But the reasons largely depend on which side of the aisle a particular person was on.

On the one hand, there are politicians who are concerned about the role that technology companies play in restricting the free flow of information. On the other hand, there are politicians who are concerned about these companies’ stranglehold on competitors and innovation.

But big tech won an important, though not final, victory at the end of June. At that time, a US judge dismissed two separate complaints against Facebook (NASDAQ: FB). The question before the judge was whether Facebook had a monopoly on social media. Due to a surge in the company’s stock price after the ruling, Facebook became a member of the exclusive $ 1,000 billion market capitalization club. While big tech companies will remain under the microscope of Congress, there’s no denying that investors are seeing the move as a signal to get back to tech stocks. And that is the object of this presentation. Which tech stocks should you buy as antitrust pressure eases?

It would be easy to start and end the list with FAANG stocks. After all, the motto “Keep it Simple Stupid” comes to mind. There are just those companies that offer products that are changing our lives now and will continue to do so in the future. In addition, customers will continue to pay for their products.

And I have a few stocks on my list. But the bulk of the stocks on this list are cheaper alternatives to at least one of the FAANG stocks. That’s not to say they’re top companies, but a rising tide tends to lift all boats. And that means these companies have significant upside potential and you can buy the stocks for a lot less.
