Tech Dip: Buy the Fear or Get Out?

I think the biggest mistake right now is treating every red day in tech the same.

Some stocks are falling because expectations got too high.

Others are pulling back even though the underlying business hasn’t materially changed.

That’s the distinction I’m watching.

📉 Price down + estimates falling = different story

📉 Price down + fundamentals intact = worth investigating

📈 Price up + expectations exploding = risk can build quickly

With rates still influencing valuations and investors questioning how much AI spending can continue, I don’t think the answer is simply “buy everything on weakness.”

I’m looking for companies where earnings growth can catch up with the valuation.

The dip itself isn’t the signal.

What happens to the fundamentals while the stock is down is the signal.

So where are you right now?

🟢 Buying selected dips

🟡 Holding cash for a bigger pullback

🔴 Reducing tech exposure
