Valuation Compression — If you’re like me, your portfolio has been feeling the squeeze lately.
Lots of volatility can be great; lots of volatility during a downward trending market can eat your f*cking lunch.
There has been a massive drawback in equities valuations this year. Absolutely massive and sort of in biblical proportions for some of our favorite names.
Tech is now trading at the same levels as Consumer Staples. Read that again.
Your favorite names like $FB, $MSFT, $TSLA, $AAPL, etc. have absolutely tumbled. Thinking about this critically, it would appear that there isn’t much farther to go.
But if you’re trying to predict a bottom, where do you reach out your hand to try and catch a falling knife?
And who is to say that valuations haven’t adjusted too far to the downside and that fair value is slightly higher than these levels?
I’d argue that some valuation compression is good; this is a generational buying opportunity. Gen Z, congrats – this might be your chance to get in on stonks. I can’t say the same for housing.
Buying near all-time highs isn’t really fun. Massive moves are okay for those looking to access the market. Let’s just hope the rest of us aren’t underwater in the meantime.
