Here's a test—complete the following:

There's opportunity....

a)  in chaos.
b)  in a recession.
c)  now.
d)  tomorrow.
e)  wherever you look, assuming your eyes are open.
f)  All of the above.

I'm not giving you the answer—it's self-explanatory.  If you can't figure it out, read option "e" out loud repeatedly until (i) you understanding my point, or (ii) you collapse—whichever occurs first.

So where's the opportunity?  Answer: TECHNOLOGY.  It is the antidote for the financial crisis; it is the panacea for our national debt; it is the future.  I see it everyday in the deals I handle; technology is booming, and it will continue to do well for the short and long-term future. 

We are in the lead, for now, in the area of technology.  We need to continue to nurture it.
