Analyst at Tom Lee-affiliated fund: Now is a suitable time to buy the dip in technology stocks, but diversification is needed
BlockBeats News,October 18, Mark Newton, an analyst at a fund affiliated with Tom Lee, said in an interview with CNBC that now is a suitable time to buy the dip in technology stocks, but investors need to remain diversified and prepare for sector rotation.
Over the past 1 months, cross-asset volatility has increased markedly, while the S&P 500 Index has recently declined by approximately 6%, and the technology sector has also undergone a notable correction over the past 1 weeks. However, relative to its gains of September, he believes technology stocks have sustained relatively limited damage.
This year, the market has consistently exhibited sector rotation: the energy sector initially rose by nearly 40%, after which gains spread to the technology sector and have now shifted to the healthcare sector, which has reached all-time highs. Investors need to prepare for sector shifts and remain diversified.
Interactive Brokers Chief Strategist Steve Sosnick cautioned that, even if investors have not actively allocated to AI, they may still have significant technology-stock exposure through S&P 500 Index funds. The market is still primarily driven by sector rotation, but he is concerned about continued declines in technology stocks and investors beginning to question the returns on AI investments.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
“Buying the dip” refers to considering a purchase after prices decline. Mark Newton believes the recent correction in technology stocks remains limited relative to their prior gains, but also stresses that investors should not bet solely on technology stocks, as market capital may shift among sectors such as energy, technology, and healthcare. Steve Sosnick, meanwhile, cautions that holding S&P 500 Index funds may also result in substantial technology-stock exposure, and notes the risk of further declines in technology stocks and AI investment returns being questioned.
Why it matters to readers
These views remind investors that index funds do not eliminate the risk of sector concentration; when assessing whether a technology-stock correction presents an opportunity, they should also monitor sector rotation and market expectations for returns on AI investments.
Beginners can use this to check whether their funds and stocks are overly concentrated in the technology sector and understand that “buying the dip” is only an analyst view and does not mean prices will necessarily rebound.
