Investing in Tech Stocks (Podcast)
The average cloud software company reported 10% growth during the 2008-2009 recession. Meanwhile, we’ve seen the market react harshly towards companies guiding for 25% growth (such as Elastic). We know the winners from shelter-in-place but we are still sorting out what growth should look like in the middle of the category. My guess is that 25% is going to be higher than average by the time we exit this year.
I spoke about this and other topics this week on a podcast with Simon Erickson from 7 Investing. Simon Erickson is the CEO and Founder of 7 Investing, a company that releases stock tips for long-term investing.
