🔥 Having A Fire! ...Sale

Where there's a dip, there's a buying opportunity.

Happy Friday, Zingernation! Well, if you’re a tech investor like I am, it wasn’t that happy of a Friday. The Nasdaq continued its slide, closing down more than 6% on the week. The QQQs are now up only 3% YTD — despite being up more than 10% YTD just a couple of weeks ago.

On the bright side, the stock market’s doing what every good struggling business does: Having a FIRE SALE! NVIDIA dropped 10% today, wiping out more than $100 billion in valuation. Of course, a single share will still set you back $762, but hey. A discount’s a discount.

Today’s Price Action:

$SPY: -.87%
$QQQ: -2.07%
$DIA: +.57%

Briefly: The Nasdaq 100 closed today’s session down 2.1%. It gets worse.

What Happened: This was the tech-heavy index’s worst day since late October 2023. On the week, the Nasdaq 100 tumbled 6.1%, its worst week since October 2022, and the fourth consecutive week of declines, a negative streak not seen since May 2022.

Why It Happened: Today’s downturn echoes a wider pessimistic sentiment around U.S. tech stocks. Delays in interest rate cuts, mixed guidance from corporate earnings and growing geopolitical risks have formed a detrimental environment for tech companies.

What Next: Said rate cuts may not be coming anytime soon. This week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank wasn’t confident in the pace of disinflation — and renowned veteran Wall Street investor Ed Yardeni suggested the Fed could afford to take “the rest of the year off.”

Briefly: Meta reduced the price of the Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headset to $199 permanently, half its original price in 2020.

What: Despite the release of the Quest 3, priced at $500, the Quest 2 remains an attractive entry point into VR, compatible with all Quest games except for exclusives for the Quest 3.

What Else: This price cut also applies to accessories like the Elite Strap with Battery.

Why It Matters: Concerns linger about Meta’s long-term support for the Quest 2, despite assurances from execs that support for first-party games would remain for “quite a while,” given the company’s history of discontinuing support for previous models.
