๐ How To Buy the Dip Like a Pro
Tech stocks, specifically software, have recently seen a large exodus of capital.
With AI roll-outs like Claude Cowork and OpenClaw, investors are convinced that many software service providers are becoming obsolete.
But not all of them. Once the dust settles, there will be at least a few that are still standing.

๐ Financial Terms Explained
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Technical analysis indicator that measures speed and magnitude of recent price changes to identify whether asset is overbought (>70) or oversold (<30).
TTM (Trailing Twelve Months): Financial metric that represents a company's financial performance (cash flow, revenue, earnings, etc.) over the most recent twelve consecutive months.
ROE (Return on Equity): Financial ratio that shows how many dollars of profit are generated for every dollar of invested capital.
Gross Margin: The percentage of revenue a company keeps after subtracting the costs of producing their goods or services sold.
Debt-to-Equity ratio: Financial metric that shows the proportion of assets funded by creditors versus investors (higher ratio = higher risk).
Interest coverage ratio: Financial metric that measures a companyโs ability to pay interest on its outstanding debt (ICR of 2 or higher is generally considered healthy).
Net debt divided by EBITDA: Financial leverage ratio that measures a company's ability to pay off its debt using its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
