Two Lessons From the Dot-Com Crash

Hi Tigers! 🐯

If you didn't invest through the dot-com crash, remember two things:

1️⃣ It can get worse.
2️⃣ It can last a LOT longer than you think.

I'm buying the dip, but I'm not buying stocks just because they've fallen 20%.

A big drop doesn't automatically make a stock cheap. If earnings expectations are still too optimistic and valuations remain stretched, there could be plenty of downside left.

If this really is a bubble bursting, some companies won't survive. Weak balance sheets, cash burn, and dependence on cheap capital can turn a market correction into an existential crisis.

The dot-com crash taught us that even promising technologies can produce terrible investments when you pay too much for them.

The goal isn't to catch the bottom. It's to own businesses that can survive the downturn and still thrive when the market recovers. 🛡️

Markets are always moving - and sometimes, the best move is knowing what works for you.

With Treasury yields, oil prices and rate expectations keeping markets on edge this week, investors are once again thinking carefully about where to position next. There’s no one-size-fits-all choice in investing — and the same goes for Tiger Merch. This month’s hot picks are in, featuring the Tiger Toiletry Bag, Universal Travel Adapter, Tiger Umbrella and more favourites chosen by fellow Tigers.
