I wouldn't consider Tech Stocks a Risk-off asset. I agree that they've discovered better business models vs. the early 2000s, but they are generally highly leveraged and are less likely to have positive cashflows compared to more traditional sectors (which is why the technology sector is getting rekt right now as people retreat to more stable assets)
Well at the same time they also are a large component of the S&P500, and that's kind of a low risk-ish investment?
The question is more centered around something like a certain type of commodity being deemed as risky and volatile, but then switching into something that is considered stable.
I suppose an example would be the US bonds during WW2 where the US was starting to grow, but certainly wasn't considered as strong as England. US bonds were deemed more risky, but then transitioned into a more/most stable asset (since all of EU was in shambles)
Seems risk off if Berkshire is in Apple stock but I don’t think about finance a whole lot so grain of salt
Tech stocks. Basically all risk off things at some point were risk on until enough people realized their value and they became risk off.
