During the TMT bubble, each tech stock peaked when its valuation peaked (not when its revenue growth peaked).

The Fed is currently super easy but with valuations extremely stretched for many COVID beneficiaries, the reopening of the economy *might* be a risk for these stocks.
For my part, I've been reducing my enterprise software exposure and have already brought it down from ~50% to just under 30% of my portfolio.

If valuations stretch further, will reduce even more.
Clarification -

Enterprise software with its recurring revenues is a fantastic business and many of these companies will continue to grow for a very long time and power global businesses.

However, their current market caps appear quite bloated relative to their revenues...
...and cash flows.

Historically, such a situation has always resolved by poor forward multi-year returns

Given the uncertainty/elevated risk, I've been reducing my exposure to this sector and am re-allocating my portfolio to benefit from the reopening of the economy.

Those who missed the entire run in the highest quality growth stocks can no longer stand the fact that these names keep going higher (on the back of outstanding business growth).

The name calling and snide comments reaching a whole new level now! Sorry you missed the run....
When I first became active on Twitter (Feb '19), the wise people called me a moron for only owning the 'momo', 'overvalued', 'bubble' names!

The crash occurred in March and guess what? My stocks bounced back first and went on to make new highs - some even tripled..
....or quadrupled within months.

Most of my companies have continued to announce outstanding operating results and they are still being bid up by the market.

Meanwhile, I'm still being trolled as the momo guy who got lucky and will soon learn a lesson!

Narrative - Rising 10-yr UST yield is bad for growth stocks

Reality - $IWO positively correlated with 10-yr UST yield
History shows that rising long-term rates from such low levels are POSITIVE for growth stocks/risk assets.

Conversely, falling long-term rates are NEGATIVE for growth stocks/risk assets.

Rising rates imply the bond market is becoming less worried about the economic outlook.
This chart goes back ***20 YEARS***

$IWO = positive correlation with 10-yr UST yield

Why I grabbed shares of and sold out of -

is an iconic business which I've followed for years and up until recently, I didn't like its customer concentration and reliance on the public sector. However, after reading the company's S-1, press releases and...
...discussions with @cperruna , I changed my mind and picked up shares.

appears to be a solid business with a durable 'moat' i.e. customer switching costs, network effects, brand intangibles and mgt. has guided for 40%+ revenue growth in '20 and 30%+ growth in '21...
