Regarding tech sector why Warren Buffett didn't interest at all has his reason which is very easy to understand.
Tech sector is fast evolving industry, today your company may do some newer technology (handphone, processor whatever tech gadget) or website that is the most popular now and earning big buck.
But with the fast moving tech sector, next year, there may be another rival with new tech and way to compete with you and overtake you. Classic example would be Yahoo, once is the hottest search engine in internet, just within short period of time, Google rise up and take over the leadership already. Same with Motorola, pioneer of HP, then overtake by Nokia easily.
So having those kind of company share won't guarantee in the next 3-5 years, the company will still shine again.
But having old tech stock is different story, just like having Coca-Cola. You know in the next 3-5 years, people still drink coke, right? But with tech, you don't know the next 5 years, what search engine is more popular or what handphone type is people chasing for etc.
Which means as long as old tech company stays efficient way of doing their business, then future profit is somehow is on safe side, unlike tech sector, future is up to anyone guess.
Thanks for the elaborated comment and refreshing me on it as I read about his story sometimes back. Still trying to pick up some pointers from his ways, actions, decisions but always tempted to get into tech stock as when they move they tends to move fast and high. The problem is spotting when to throw.

no wonder counters for consumer products eg. mamee, f&n, nestle, BAT, carlsbg etc continues to give generous dividen......
so which one u all like???
For me, it is always Carlsberg for long term and mamee. F&N, Nestle, BAT and others are too expansive for me even to hold 100units.
