The problem here is how do we define ‘consistently’? We know it is cannot be ‘guaranteed’ because that would be ‘risk-free’. So it boils down to how much risk (read - portfolio fluctuation) you are willing to take before you bail out of your stocks. To answer this question I looked back last 10 years and collected 506 tech companies that satisfy the following criteria

1. The company is in the ‘Technology Sector’
2. The stock was trading from Jul 1997 till Jul 2007, That means no new IPO companies like Google (GOOG) were considered.
3. The stock was traded in NASDAQ, NYSE or AMEX market (no OTC).
