Not really. Tech stocks are more volatile because more of their value (compared to someone like GE or P&G) is based on hypothetical growth projections- revenue and profit. Any market news can swing these stocks wildly- up or down. Hortonworks HDP dropped 35% y'day just because they decided to raise more money $100M and investors felt that something is wrong.
