Data is Lagging, AI Dip is a Buying Opportunity (with Shery Ahn, Haidi Stroud-Watts)

Nancy Dode advises against overreacting to lagging data. She sees the current tech pullback as an incredible buying opportunity for long-term investors, driven by AI and consumer spending. Geopolitical risk is underpriced because strong corporate earnings are dominating investor focus.

Data is Lagging, AI Dip is a Buying Opportunity (with Shery Ahn, Haidi Stroud-Watts)

This is an incredible buying opportunity. If you're in it for the long term, the technology surge will generally be up.

Dode says geopolitical risk is underpriced because earnings are strong, implying oil risk is being ignored but could re-emerge, keeping prices rangebound near current levels.

Shery Ahn

We got hot headline inflation and strong consumer spending, but market reaction was mixed. What was your takeaway?
Nancy Dode

It's difficult to react violently to lagging data. The stock market is a predictive instrument, not a backward-looking one. We need to see 1-3 months of data to get a better view.
Haidi Stroud-Watts

Where are the opportunities within the tech and AI trade? Is this a dip-buying opportunity?
Nancy Dode

This is an incredible buying opportunity. After weeks of nothing but up, volatility is reasonable. If you're in it for the long term, the technology surge will generally be up.
Haidi Stroud-Watts

Are investors underpricing geopolitical risk given 50+ days of US-Iran talks and the ship attack?
Nancy Dode

Yes, you're probably right. Corporate earnings have been so strong that the inconvenience of the war is not being reacted to. Geopolitical risk is not being looked at as seriously as it should be.
