The economy was hit hard by a global pandemic in 2020, but the tech sector didn't just survive, it's now more essential than ever.
And it's making folks a lot of money.
Small businesses have opened digital storefronts with Shopify (NYSE: SHOP), meetings are conducted on Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM) and remote health has become necessary with companies like Teladoc (NYSE: TDOC) leading the charge.
These companies are up 165%, 640% and 175% just this year.

Over the last 30 days, one sector had its best month of the year.
And no, it wasn't tech… This sector outperformed the S&P 500 by 6% and is worth paying attention to now.
This could be the start of a trend that lasts the rest of the year and possibly into 2021.

It's all over the news today: Senate Republicans unanimously voted to advance Amy Coney Barrett's nomination for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court to the full Senate.
Meanwhile, a court matter of huge importance to investors isn't front-page news, but most definitely should be: The Supreme Court may very well have the $9 trillion tech sector – particularly the FAANGs – in its sights.
Of course, the Supreme Court hears and rules on cases of national and even global importance sometimes. But it's not every day a case like Malwarebytes Inc. v. Enigma Software Group USA LLC comes up. This case concerns massive issues of technology, money, freedom of speech, and everything that stems from that – including the elections – all rolled into one.

Value investors are finding few deals worth pursuing while growth investors see no momentum higher.
But the best high dividend stocks offer a bit of both worlds thanks to their steady income streams and chronic underpricing.
We're specifically targeting a special class of dividend stocks too.
These aren't just stocks with high yields, their business models are designed to pay shareholders.
