In the wake of the 11 September terror attacks in the US and continued unrest in the Middle East, Israeli tech stocks have taken a hammering on the Nasdaq and have this week fallen to new lows.

The Financial Times suggest a number of companies who passed over the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in favour of a listing on Nasdaq may now consider returning home to less hostile investment waters.
