S&P 500 dips are buying opportunities.
John Flood is constructive on the S&P 500 despite the selloff, citing strong earnings, healthy demand for equity offerings, and significant skepticism/cash on the sidelines. He explicitly states that dips are buying opportunities and sees a clear path to 8000 this year.

Korean and Taiwanese equities have upside.
Flood notes that memory (semiconductor) is a high-momentum sleeve still fairly priced, and there is strong institutional focus on Korea and Taiwan where fundamental support suggests further upside despite recent gains.
