Q: Hi Team;
Can I get your take on earnings for TTD, U, RBLX? They are all falling after hours, especially Unity. Is the long term story still in place for these names? Also what are the chances of someone like FB buying out RBLX or Unity? Or..have the US regulators made it pretty much impossible for them to buy anything remotely close to being portrayed as a "monopoly" anymore? With the massive selloffs I kind of am expecting buyouts to start happening all over the place.
Also...speculative question/ rant. This last while one of the only sectors that has been working is the oil sector. Technology has been decimated...with many best in breed names falling to as much as being worth 1/10th of the value they were at a year ago. Yet...all the media has pumped to us the last few years is that "carbon is dead", "green energy is a must". And Looking around our world today all I see is technology advancing more by the day. Last year the media would portray the view that we are in early innings of a "technology revolution" ...with major advancements happening over the next couple decades. Which..with this view is why I positioned my portfolio as such. And now its been cut in half in the last year. For a 10yr plus horizon; would you agree that technology names will recover, and surpass the overall market? And would you see the technology sector the most likely to have the strongest long term growth for the next 10,20 yrs? Or am I wrong in my long term thinking here and are we going back to nothing but pro-oil and bank names? Were technology names priced last year similar to the 2000.com bubble or is there a disconnect now? Speculative question I know. I can see with moves we are seeing in the market today, how investors get "jaded" from investing and pull out of the markets for years, or sometimes for a lifetime. It's frustrating for the average investor.
