2 Tech Stocks to Buy on this Market Dip
It’s been a rough start to the week so far for the Nasdaq-100 Index (QQQ), which has given up more than 2% ahead of the much-awaited and final Federal Reserve Meeting for December. The good news is that market volatility breeds opportunity if investors don’t panic and are patient to buy some of the highest-quality names at a deep discount to their fair value. Currently, two names are beginning to look much more interesting from a valuation standpoint within the Nasdaq-100, with these being PayPal (PYPL) and Netflix (NFLX).
Silver Bounces Off Important Level
Investors in silver (SLV) and the Silver Miners Index (SIL) were able to breathe a sigh of relief in October, with the metal finishing the month up 8% and looking like it may have finally bottomed. However, just six weeks later, the bulls are staring down a dreaded re-test of the low, with many likely wishing they had taken some profits above $25.00/oz.

2 Tech Stocks to Buy on the Dip
Qualcomm (QCOM) and Paycom Software (PAYC) have little in common, with one company being a human resource and payroll software company, and the former being a Semiconductor name, with the company having its tentacles in several segments, including 5G, Smart Homes, Modem RF Systems, and Processors. Both companies have a history of strong earnings growth and just came off solid quarters, with QCOM growing its quarterly EPS by 76% year-over-year and PAYC reporting 31% quarterly EPS growth. Meanwhile, both names have held up much better than their tech peers, with PAYC and QCOM both above rising 200-day moving averages. Let’s take a closer look at each company below:
Silver Selloff on Omicron-Variant Likely to be a Buying Opportunity
It’s been another tough week for the precious metals bulls, with the price of silver (SLV) down 1% to start the week, following a violent 6% drop in holiday-shortened Thanksgiving week. The catalyst for this sell-off looks to be the fact that the general markets have become much turbulent following the discovery of a new strain of the virus, omicron, in South Africa. Yet, longer-term fundamentals remain supportive with low rates and rising inflation.
Silver Approaching Important Pivot Point
The bulls in the precious metals space enjoyed a brief departure from the violent selling pressure they’re experienced all year, but unfortunately, it’s been short-lived. This is evidenced by silver (SLV) plunging more than 5% thus far this week and gold (GLD) sliding more than 3%. These unpleasant returns are despite negative real rates continuing to remain deeply in negative territory, which is typically a positive backdrop for the precious metals. While many investors are likely frustrated by the selling pressure, it’s important to note that nothing goes up in a straight line, and these pullbacks are entirely normal, as long as key support levels are held. For now, silver continues to hover above its key support area at $22.00/oz, and key ratios also continue to remain in a positive alignment, with the silver/gold ratio above its multi-week moving average.

However, Q4 has been much better thus far for precious metals bulls, with the bulls staging a 14% rally thus far in the GDX, reversing nearly all the losses from Q3 when the gold price slid below $1,700/oz. 3 gold miners that stick out as high-quality business models at very reasonable valuations are Alamos Gold (AGI), Nomad Royalty (NSR), and Barrick Gold (GOLD).
