A week ago, I wrote that Partition off Street is “heading into a summer from hell.” Well, it looks like that hellish summer be awarded pounce oned early.
Since I wrote that piece, the market has done almost nothing but fall, posting the worst switch days since the early weeks of the pandemic. And while the sell-off is ugly, it’s clear this isn’t over.
The market is speedily retreating to where it was before the pandemic — and the stimulus-infused mega rally — started. And thanks to more than a decade of monumentally low portion rates, many investors think that even the current level is inflated.
In the piece, I called out the tech diligence, which has been riding the wave of a strong economy for years and is finally facing its first real setbacks and (in some cases) layoffs.
“The smooch of death for tech is when tech starts talking profitability — then the tide goes out and you’ll figure out who’s been swimming in the nude,” Justin Simon, a portfolio manager at Jasper Capital, told me.
But that’s not all. Last week, bread-and-butter retailers Object and Walmart reported earnings that fell short of Wall Street’s expectations. These consumer behemoths recognized that they are starting to feel the burn from inflation and other economic pressures.
As I said in my story, “This summer, the market is pass, and investors big and small are going to get burned before it’s over.”

Perry’s defense of Black, the former CEO of Apollo Global Management, might seem incongruous with her whilom.

During the pandemic, the tech industry fanned out across the US — and the geographically set free workforce ended up in new places like beachy Miami.
But now, the US tech sector is on tenterhooks. Markets are crumbling, startup valuations are cratering, and tech condenses are announcing layoffs daily.
