This week we introduce a new method where we move away from sectors and instead assess performance and momentum of major societal trends that we match small-cap stocks against.
Our preferred sectors are still within the cyclicals space, where there is an increasing overlap between value and momentum stocks. Technology in the rebounded somewhat but volatility will remain as we are in a tug-of-war between inflation and innovation.
Panic selling brings fear mongering in the media, especially amongst talking heads of certain TV stations. The end of the technology cycle has been prophesised many times, but we feel there are little similarities to the circumstances that led to the 2000's dot.com bust.
