5 Top NASDAQ Tech Stocks: MeetMe Makes Gains to Lead

The NASDAQ Technology Sector (INDEXNASDAQ:NDXT) had a good week and was up 4.13 percent and ended the week at 2,876.57 points by market close on Friday.
Some stability followed the volatility from the US elections where Donald Trump surprisingly clinched the coveted seat for US president. Indeed, since the win, tech stocks have hardly moved – until December 1, when they plunged. According to TechCrunch, Trump will not be a friend to the tech world.
Despite remaining uncertainty surrounding the Trump presidency, here are last week’s top NASDAQ tech stocks in the computer software and processing industry:

• MeetMe (NASDAQ:MEET)
