Tech’s Already Lost Rivian (RIVN) lost more than 50% of its value in the last 8 weeks. Peloton (PTON) is closing in on its IPO price. If you look beyond the big cap tech names, you’ll find many of those high-growth momentum names already crashed. That doesn’t mean they can’t fall further. But for those looking for some reckoning of the new retail traders, they might be sorely mistaken. You see, pundits predict these investors will lose the shirts in the coming pullback. That seems silly. For starters, many of these traders made their money by buying the market near the dead lows of March 2020. So everything they could lose is truly discretionary. And these traders aren’t likely to cause any major selloff in Apple (APPL), Amazon (AMZN), or the like. They simply don’t have that kind of power. What would it take to bring down those stocks? Slower growth. Pure and simple. Or at least compressed margins. |

And with construction demand high for commercial, industrial, and residential, we expect this sector to provide plenty of upside surprises. Don’t Forget Energy Energy companies have seen the largest estimate increases as crude and natural gas prices rebounded from their brief selloffs. High demand from industries continues despite large players like China flipping the switch on and off. Omicron Weighs in Analysts lowered estimates for many consumer discretionary stocks including Ceasar’s Entertainment (CZR) along with airline stocks as Omicron cases raged. Airlines took it on the chin as massive cancellations and flight delays over the holidays created havoc at the airports. The Big Questions Here’s what we want to be answered:
