The tech-stock selloff is a golden opportunity to buy Microsoft, Apple, Netflix and Tesla
Target, which is still up substantially this year, is no General Electric (GE) sorting through underperforming businesses and realizing that it wasted so much money on stock buybacks that the ex-icon of America’s Industrial Might has a negative tangible book value.

‘From a markets perspective, it’s going to be interesting. Paul Tudor Jones, a hedge-fund luminary, said he’s stress-testing his portfolio of corporate debt because he expects a tumultuous road ahead on the back of the Federal Reserve’s apparent commitment to normalizing interest rates and buttressed by corporate tax cuts from the Trump administration.
