1. Buying the dip in Big Tech. As high-profile technology stocks continue to trade lower amid January's broad sell-off, many investors think the dip now presents an opportunity. Among big names taking advantage of the discounts are hedge-fund legend Bill Ackman and star stock-picker Cathie Wood.
Ackman last week bought $1.1 billion in Netflix stock, saying the streaming service looked "extraordinarily attractive." (The streaming giant's co-chief Reed Hastings also bought the dip.) Wood, meanwhile, just snapped up more than $20 million of Tesla stock, and more than $30 million of Robinhood.
Analysts at Credit Suisse seem to agree. In a note, the bank highlighted Tesla as one stock in particular worth buying while it's down.
"We expect both further volume growth and sustained margin strength for Tesla," wrote Credit Suisse analysts in their recommendation. Both Robinhood and Tesla enjoyed strong gains on Monday.
