After more than a profitable run in the market during the period of spiking tech stocks back in 2017, these prominent stocks have seen a downfall in form of a batter of negative trends that arrived with the mere beginning of 2018.
The previous profitable run of tech stocks was led by Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Facebook (FB), Apple (APPL) and Netflix (NFLX), while the tech sector was down for a major fall with the beginning of October 2018.
Besides from Facebook’s infamous data sales scandal that most probably caused a major loss of -15% during 2018, the entire sector was affected by a case of unfavorable levels of volatility. However, this case might only mean that tech stocks can be bought as a bargain, as technology will always be in demand, especially with accelerated development of new transformational technologies.
