You can be skeptical of their stock run-ups or concerned about their current valuations, but you cannot take away their incredible Business performances over the last year.
It's fair to be concerned about their Valuations, but even if growth slows down compared the last few Qtrs (expected in many cases), these Business are on a different trajectory compare to pre-COVID.
The Customer (Consumer/Business) awareness they gained, the incredible innovation they produced, the operational experience they gained with quick scaling (along with cheap capital raises done in 2020) are all going to benefit them for a long time.
I'm leaning more towards "Yes, even if the multiple compresses in the short term, the actual Business strength plus decent multiple over the medium term, would still produce some great returns long-term. Especially if you're adding to them over time as they continue to execute".

Here are few of my quick personal guidelines for Volatility (as a net long-term buyer of good businesses with decades left)

✔️Once you get Ben Graham's Mr. Market analogy into your head, Volatility will stop surprising/bothering you.
✔️ You can't predict it, but knowing that it'll show up sometime, you can make your Portfolio resilient enough to withstand any short-term shocks.

✔️ Liquidity in great Co's + Volatility induced low prices : That's not something to complain about.

Good article on the four general types of Investing edges.

✔️Informational edge
✔️Analytical edge
✔️Behavioral edge
✔️Organizational edge

schroders.com/en/uk/the-valu…
Very important for investors (especially individual investors picking their own stocks) to figure out what your edge is, that will enable you for LT success in the Market.

W/o getting into too much details, below are some methods I recommend to improve chances of success.
1⃣ Informational edge : Most of the raw information is freely available to everyone, but if you can filter out the noise (media/stock predictions, random opinions), & focus only on the reliable sources (Co produced docs, analysis by investors you respect..) you can have an edge.

My $ROKU 📺story⬇️and some lessons in the thread below. Image
It's not often that I get add so many times at attractive prices in such a short amount of time, but that Mr. Market can be extra generous sometimes and you got to oblige. Image
Few general lessons (not recs)⬇️

✔️ Don't get stuck on your initial (not fully informed) opinions

✔️ Consider facts , updates from reliable sources and analyze with fresh eyes

✔️ When you have a good enough thesis, start a small position (don't wait for perfect entry points).
