Hot on the heels of the December 21, 2012 launch of the Popular Logistics Virtual Portfolio in Sustainable Energy, here, up 22.36%, I am announcing the launch of the Popular Logistics Virtual Portfolio in Information Technology. Roughly $1.0 million in Apple, Google, HP, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, and Oracle.(Their investor relations pages are Apple, Google, HP, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, and Oracle.)

Generally speaking, here’s what I expect:
- Apple, IBM: I expect to significantly outperform the Dow Jones and S&P 500.
- Google: I expect to perform in line with the Dow Jones and S&P.
- HP: An investment in HP is speculative. Whitman may turn the company around. The stock might wildly outperform the Dow & the S&P. As Gerstner might say, however, it’s hard to teach an elephant to dance. The stock may plummet.
- Intel, Oracle, I don’t know enough to have an expectation.
- Microsoft may become a leading indicator of the economy. Thus, if the S&P does well, Microsoft may do better.
These are in table 2, below
