Actually the opposite. Being in IT, I never buy IT stocks. They're mostly everyday brands and industries.

That, ah, is even worse. Your diversification... isn't. Just because you have a job in IT doesn't mean that's adequate exposure. There is a large difference between a paycheck and investments in the large cap IT sector.
