“Rough day, rough evening. Batten down the hatches.. Broadcom and Crowdstrike are two very popular stocks and they are getting hammered. We are writing about them as i type this–for club members only
“CNBC Investing Club members we have terrific notes out on Broadcom and CrowdStrike. I think people thought they were going to get a Dell or a Marvell. They got a Broadcom and a CrowdStrike
“I’m not going to tell you the selling isn’t exaggerated tonight in Broadcom and CrowdStrike. I will say that they were parabolic and the parabola stocks will be hurt as all of these deals get priced. Please watch the top of Mad Money tonight for more
“Before you decide that you never want to hear of Broadcom or CrowdStrike again remember that they have run so much that things had to be perfect. When we sold some Broadcom two says ago we did so reluctantly because it is so good. CrowdStrike’s quarter was actually amazing and so was the outlook. They wont reverse even down double % today but they are very good companies”
