Smart Money's Dan Burrows spotlights the tech sector expertise of Kim Caughey, Vice President at Fort Pitt Capital Group. Caughey explains why tech stocks rebounded and outperformed most of the market in the first few months of 2009.

Subsequently, Caughey believes, "The dust settled and investors realized that banks were still going to be around and the functions of banking need to be conducted on technology." - MSN Money 4/13/09
