Global diversification is critical, and markets like Korea, Taiwan, and Japan are up strongly due to their leverage to tech and AI. These markets are driven by the same AI theme but offer diversification away from U.S. mega-caps. Korea is up 92%, Japan 39%, and they are benefiting from the global AI buildout.

Oden explicitly states, "I'm focused on Tech." She cites a dramatic repricing, with the tech sector P/E multiple falling from ~36.7% at the start of the year to 21.7%. The selloff has created a "great opportunity" as the long-term earnings story for tech remains strong, driven by AI. She notes a broadening beyond the "Mag 7," with the "Forgotten 493" showing stronger earnings performance. The valuation compression combined with sustained AI-driven earnings growth makes tech a buy. "This is a great opportunity." A sustained conflict leading to a recession, which would force a reassessment of all earnings predictions.
