The 34% decline for Meta (FB) was its worst on record -- the 30% drop in the third quarter of 2012 was the only comparable period -- while the 38% drop for Netflix was its worst since the fourth quarter of 2011.

We see that all markets are growing kind of at the same pace.&#34;</p><p>What this says is that Netflix is undergoing a COVID-19 overhang, because they pulled customer growth forward, Davidowitz says. What he likes is that there&#39;s still pricing power left in the United States that the company is starting to flex, and there&#39;s still a number of users to be had outside the U.S. Netflix is attractive because margins and free cash flow are starting to come through in a big way as its content spending is starting to grow slower than revenue.</p><p>On Meta, he says Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are still vibrant growth businesses. He dismisses the idea that TikTok is a competitive threat. &#34;We believe that even though all video platforms and social media platforms are losing a little bit of time spent to TikTok, we don&#39;t think that&#39;s really affecting advertising dollars so much. There&#39;s a reason why advertisers come to Facebook and Instagram, because they can target very specifically in ways that can&#39;t on any other social-media platform,&#34; he said.</p><p>The issue with Meta has to do with Apple&#39;s privacy changes. &#34;And so what they&#39;re having right now is a little bit of trouble measuring the effectiveness of some ads because Apple&#39;s kind of walled off some of the data that they used to be able to use,&#34; he said. But he called that a solvable problem, though perhaps not for this year. He also dismisses the widely held view that young people aren&#39;t using Facebook anymore. &#34;In fact, when you look at the percentage of young people on Facebook and Instagram, they are almost exactly the same. And that&#39;s not surprising to us. Because Instagram has two billion users, Facebook has three billion users. They&#39;re a pretty broad selection of the world&#39;s internet population.&#34;</p><p>Instagram, he adds, is growing faster than rival Snap at five times its size. Even valuating it at a discount to Snap, that&#39;s at least $400 billion valuation right there. Backing out the excess $50 billion in cash Meta has on its balance sheet, and ascribing any value at all to WhatsApp and Oculus, and you&#39;re left with a roughly $100 billion valuation for core Facebook, which he says is about four times earnings. &#34;This is not a declining business, this is a growing business, so we think it&#39;s absolutely ridiculous,&#34; he says.</p><p><b>The chart</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/83462bcaafba5fc11195621e4e2225ff\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"689\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The Commerce Department this week released its latest reading on the U.S. international investment position, the difference between U.S. residents&#39; foreign financial assets and liabilities, which fell to a record gap of $18.1 trillion, or 75% of gross domestic product.
