In its earnings release for Q4 and FY 2023, various line items in Baidu, Inc ($Baidu(BIDU)$, $Baidu, Inc.(BAIDF)$ or $BIDU-SW(09888)$) – ostensibly China's answer to Google – has shown arguably the best performance in recent years. Despite this, the stock is said to have missed expectations resulting in the stock price dropping. Whether these expectations were high merit a closer look.  Trend Drilldown Baidu can be considered to have four distinct main businesses: "Core" which drives revenues much like Google Search does. "Core" also includes the Baidu App Store (much like Google Play) and Android-based smartphone operating system Yi.  "iQIYI" which

Pullback will be short term I feel. Probably 2nd half of the year will see some improvement 

I think the tech pullback is temporary and tech stocks will continue their upsurge in the rest of 2024, bearing in mind the growth in AI.

Personally felt the pullback is only for short term.  To make good profit within 4-5 years, still feel tech stock is good for long term investors.

Almost as if a switch was pressed, the Nasdaq Composite - which encapsulates almost all Nasdaq-listed stocks - collapsed 1.63% in the first day of trading from the highs of 2023. This was the 4th worst start to a new year since 1972 and only the 5th time that it has started a year with a one-day drop of more than 1.5%. In the first week of the year, the index fell another 1.64%. Within the "tech heavy" Nasdaq-100 ($NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ or $Invesco QQQ Trust-ETF(QQQ)$), pharmaceuticals ruled the roost in terms of momentum; tech was virtually nowhere to be seen in the Top 25 list - a massive shift in trends seen in Q3 and Q4 of 2023.

And they carried the indexes along with them especially names such as Microsoft and Apple which carry such heavy weightings in the indexes, where they go, the indexes follow.  As such I make it a point to follow them closely so as not to get bamboozled. The other reason is that I believe tech will do well going forward in the long run. In the short term, I think they are a bit long in the tooth though. The technical patterns indicate they are in the last stretch of the ongoing wave upwards. These patterns do have the trend on their side though and they can still stretch especially on momentum. And momentum is on their side despite the overall pattern.  As such I believe the market still m
