In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live Right now, tech stocks are having their “Black Monday” moment. Major software companies from Salesforce (CRM) to Adobe (ADBE) just lost over $100 billion in market value in a single day, triggering panic across the tech sector and raising questions about the future of subscriptions as a service (SaaS). Why the strong reaction? It all comes down to AI and the future of work. The market is pricing in a scenario where artificial intelligence could replace 50% or more of software roles. That would fundamentally disrupt the subscription revenue model that built these giants. Over 80% of major software stocks are owned by institutional investors (pension funds, index funds, hedge funds). And they always move in herds. So when a company reports disappointing earnings or negative sentiment hits the sector, institutional investors who are overweight tech are essentially forced to dump positions. That creates massive selling pressure – regardless of long-term fundamentals. But those long-term fundamentals are essential for us here at Masters in Trading. Whether it’s tech, nuclear, or industrial metals like copper, the longer-term thesis is what we focus on – not the forced hands of panic sellers. While the markets lament the recent sell-off, there’s good news for us hidden in the panicked headlines. All this indiscriminate volatility in tech looks familiar. It really suggests another quick, DeepSeek-like selloff. And just like we saw with that sell-off last year, markets managed to recover quickly despite fears around AI dominance. Large institutional investors cannot afford to NOT own software stocks like the ones I mentioned above — they’re too large a part of the market and economy to ignore completely. Institutions absolutely must own them regardless of short-term AI concerns. After the initial panic subsides, the same institutions that sold must eventually buy back in to maintain their sector allocations. And that creates predictable buying pressure we can act on right now. These panic selloffs typically create 10-15% single-day discounts in otherwise healthy companies. That presents a mathematical opportunity for contrarian investors. This isn’t about believing AI won’t disrupt software—it’s about exploiting the gap between long-term uncertainty and short-term institutional behavior patterns that create predictable price movements. So join me for today’s episode of Masters in Trading LIVE at 11 AM EST, where I’ll walk through which software names are creating asymmetric setups. I’ll let you know why I remain long-term bullish tech because of AI – not in spite of it. P.S. Are you interested in taking the next step toward options mastery?
