OT - NOK and company. If I've got it right, 'rotation' occurs
from profit taking in the tech sector, and put money into banks,
now that all regulation has been removed and more mergers signaling
consolidation. What I don't 'get' (and I don't have to) is if some
stocks in the tech sector have reasonable valuations, good
fundamentals, and a future that looks like growth no matter what,
why would people run away so fast? I've not seen NOK get this
crushed in one day in a fair while. And I get it that part of that
'rotation' is that the market for some time has been a trading
stock zoo, rather than investments ruling the roost. And
predictions looking down the road aren't as attractive as the
short term hold, I guess.
Still, the slaughter of NOK, INFN, CIEN was kind of jaw dropping
to me. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and the tub thrown
out also for good measure seems excessive. Not to mention it being
child abuse.
And why shouldn't it continue? Too many instances of a sector
being hated when fundamentals are sharp - we could still go a long
ways down,Ithink. Although 'bargain hunters' might provide
support. Especially if they're the same people who cashed out
in this tech slide, and now are going to cash back in. Crazy.
