Why Oxy is a 'wait and see' stock coming off CrownRock deal

With the Magnificent Seven controlling nearly 30% of the S&P 500's value, the tech sector may feel crowded out. However, there are other value-based tech picks that investors may be overlooking.
The Futurum Group Chief Market Strategist Cory Johnson and Deepwater Asset Management Managing Partner Doug Clinton join Yahoo Finance to discuss hidden gem stocks within tech.
Johnson explains that investors may need to reframe their investments in tech beyond growth: "We've seen tech as growth and indeed a lot of tech companies without profits are hard to value as value stocks, but I think a lot of that has changed over time and we've seen the king of all value investors Warren Buffett with his giant holdings in Apple (<a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL?.tsrc=fin-srch">AAPL</a>) and in this notion that technology can't be valued is just wrong, and then there's timing and that's when investors have to think about what they're investing for and what kinds of returns and when they need them and to understand if it's worth a long wait."
Clinton emphasizes that it may be important to look downstream of tech giants. SK Hynix (<a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/000660.KS?.tsrc=fin-srch">000660.KS</a>), he points out, is a provider of tech to Nvidia: "Nvidia uses the Hynix's high bandwidth memory in their chips that are in huge demand right now from hyper-scalers and now potentially sovereign nations and other industrial companies that are building their AI infrastructure, so we see Hynix which a holding in our Deepwater Frontier Tech index, that powers the Loup ETF (<a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LOUP?.tsrc=fin-srch">LOUP</a>) –– we see Hynix as a potential beneficiary of continued demand for those Nvidia chips.

Finding value investments in the tech sector

Bitcoin (<a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BTC-USD?.tsrc=fin-srch">BTC-USD</a>) shares are surging Monday, surpassing $67,000. SkyBridge Founder and Managing Partner Anthony Scaramucci joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss why individuals should consider adding Bitcoin to their portfolios.
Scaramucci says Bitcoin is "something people need to think about" as a long-term, "multiple-decade holding," comparing it to Berkshire Hathaway as a "value-store." He notes those not "doing the deep dive homework" on Bitcoin are missing out on its potential benefits.
Driving the Bitcoin rally is "the limited supply" combined with "the wild amount of demand," Scaramucci explains. With only around 900 new coins mined daily, a number that halves periodically, Scaramucci says "there's simply not enough" Bitcoin to meet market appetite.
While some are investing due to fear of missing out, Scaramucci believes "there's another segment" that understands Bitcoin's "network effects." As adoption grows, he sees it becoming "a form of digital gold," advising those caught up in the hype to simply "stay patient." Though volatile historically as "an early adopting technological asset," Scaramucci draws parallels to big tech stocks, noting "we saw Amazon lose 50% of its value eight times."
On politics, Scaramucci argues a second Biden term with restored democratic norms would benefit Bitcoin investors, contrasting another Trump presidency who would likely "destroy the institutions of democracy."

Bitcoin could become 'a form of digital gold': Scaramucci

When the hype is reaching new heights, it may be a good time to reach for the tried and true.
As the S&P 500 (<a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EGSPC?.tsrc=fin-srch">^GSPC</a>) sets new records and "Magnificent Seven" trades such as Nvidia (<a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDA?.tsrc=fin-srch">NVDA</a>) sail past red to white hot, remember to keep an even keel, advised life and business strategist Tony Robbins.
"If a Ferrari was on sale for 70% off, you'd buy it. But when your favorite stock is, people freak out. And when the thing is too expensive, they want to buy it," Robbins told Yahoo Finance. "It's the crazy part of humanity."
Long-term fortunes are not built on a single asset class, let alone a single industry. Diversification is key to wealth generation, said Robbins, who has interviewed the likes of billionaires Ray Dalio, Robert Smith, and Berkshire Hathaway's (<a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BRK-A">BRK-A</a>, <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BRK-B?.tsrc=fin-srch">BRK-B</a>) Warren Buffett. His latest book, "The Holy Grail of Investing," digs into the power of alternative assets in a world obsessed with stocks.
"There [are] 250,000 companies that are from a $100 million to $3 billion [in value] that private equity can step into," said Robbins. "Instead of trying to evaluate [the Magnificent Seven], create the diversification for yourself. So you reduce your risk by 80%."
His other tip for success includes turning a consumer mindset into an investor mindset: Those iPhone upgrades will cost you thousands, but a pile of Apple (<a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL?.tsrc=fin-srch">AAPL</a>) stock can set you up for the future.
And regardless of where you're sitting in life, staying hungry can turn a losing tide — or extend a winning streak.
"If you're hungry, you'll find the answers. If you're hungry, you'll push through," said Robbins.

Seifert adds that the annual letter to shareholders "addressed" many investor concerns. But with Berkshire being so large, she notes "it's really difficult to move the needle" for a company of this scale.

Miskin says Japan's market has been "one of the best performers, if not the best performer, globally," the only drawback being it's a "consensus allocation." He finds it "perplexing" that Japanese equities continue surging amid "weaker economic growth" and a recession.
Miskin notes that markets are climbing while strategists are starting to trim their <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/wall-street-is-pushing-back-its-interest-rate-cut-hopes-185232260.html">rate cut estimates</a>.

Li shuts down any plans for expansion in the US: "It's an interesting market but it's very complicated if you're talking about EV, and then I think the US market is a little bit slowdown on electrification and there are a lot of confusing, also very complicated, so we're saying, 'No... we don't have plans to come to the US."
When asked if political complications play a role in that decision, Li responds: "Everything is complicated. Politics are complicated... and it's confusing for the consumer, and then they don't know which to choose."
