I am still not convinced that stocks like Oracle, Intel and Cisco are bad long term investments. Technology is still the future and valuations are much more reasonable, not to mention that these are the companies that are poised to captilize on future technological innovations. The internet bubble made life hard for the repuatble companies because they forced an unsustainable demand that the reputable and stable companies had to respond to, or loose market share, not to mention investor credibility.
