Momentum investors are casting off high-flying tech shares like unwanted winter overcoats. Owain Bennallack asks Mark Rogers and Nate Weisshaar if this is a buying opportunity? The team also discuss how a change in the Office of National Statistics’ official bean counting will boost UK GDP, and explore allegations that high-frequency traders have rigged the market. All that, and a look at three companies that have caught their eye.

Owain, Mark and Nate discuss the tech share sell-off.

Published Owain is a magpie of the investing world -- and not because he gets into a flap. Almost any style of investing might suit him, depending on the bigger picture, and he's held all sorts of companies. Paraphrasing Keynes, he says: “When the market changes, I change my mind -- what do you do?”
That said, Owain is usually a buyer of equities, where he prefers lightly geared, modestly rated companies, and is increasingly on the lookout for Buffett-style intangible quality. He aspires to buy-and-hold: his best investment ideas are worth much more than he sold them for. Then again, his worst investment went bust due to management fraud!
