7 tech stocks that will avoid government regulation

As if investing in the tech sector didn’t carry enough risk, a new threat hangs over the tech part of your portfolio. There is a growing sense that the US Congress will seek to regulate some of the biggest tech companies.

At this point, it looks like several of the FAANG stocks (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Alphabet / Google) may be the initial targets. Regulations, particularly in terms of data security and confidentiality – not to mention censorship – would be welcome. But we all know it probably won’t end there.

What will more extreme regulation look like? If the more vocal members of Congress have influence, some of these companies may be dissolved or face regulation similar to that of utilities. From an investment perspective, this only adds to the uncertainty.

The good news is that the tech industry encompasses many companies that are likely to avoid government regulation. With areas like cybersecurity, remote working support, and mobile gaming to continue to gain momentum, there are other areas that can help strengthen your portfolio.

And in this special presentation, we’ll give you seven of our picks for tech stocks that will avoid government regulation.
