JPMorgan says it's OK if you're still in love with risky stocks
Investors should reconsider their affection for the safety of technology megacaps and start seeking out risky assets like beaten-down high-growth stocks and Chinese shares.
So says Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, $JPMorgan(JPM.US)$'s global head of equity research. "In the first half next year, assuming inflation shows signs of normalization, assuming the Fed ends up being more balanced and doesn't continue to move forward with tightening, which I believe the market is pricing in, and assuming the Covid situation starts to come back under control, I think you'll see a rotation from lower-beta megacaps into higher-beta."

$Apple(AAPL.US)$ Been enjoying scalping Apple for small profit as the ticker was strong long. Entered on the dip, not my favourite set-up but the stock was still higher than prior day High, hence decided to take the plunge. Took my profit with "Limit when Touched" sell at 181.80 as the upside move was a bit draggy.
Learning Point: Took some risk to enter into imperfect set-up. Maintain discipline to exit quickly with Limit Sell set-up with small profit. Could be worse after market sell-off.
