The Federal Reserve has punished savers for years by keeping interest rates artificially low. And now the Fed is starting to punish everyone as artificially low rates are increasing inflationary pressure and decreasing buying power. And as the Fed increases rates, growth will slow, and the market will be in an uphill battle for years. Is this month’s sell-off an indication that the FANG-ish growth and momentum bubble is finally starting to burst?

Here is a look at the S&P 500 for last week, and it was not pretty (down 4.1%). However, the future looks bright for a variety of reasons (e.g. upcoming earnings, low valuations, and rates are still low).

Growth stocks are great—until the market turns. However, if you can find a company with such a powerful marketplace opportunity, that it can buck the larger “style box” trends (e.g. growth vs value) and continue to grow under just about any conditions, it’s worth considering. Here is one stock that looks to have found a special market opportunity, and we believe it is worth considering. And if you’re going to buy, starting with a small bite might be prudent.
