It finally arrives at the conclusion that though the price trends of different stocks in the IT industry differ a lot and are fluctuating a lot, the Index Model is applicable to the data from 2020-2021 and is proved to work through year 2022. Therefore, with sufficient admit to potential limitations and risks in the future, a more aggressive way to invest in the IT industry is somehow developed.
