This has been a year of history in more ways than one. The unprecedented coronavirus epidemic initially sent clobird equities and tailed them in the first trimester. 34% benchmark S&P 500 Losing less than five weeks represents the fastest bear market decline in history by at least 30%.
After this historic historic leap, investors looked to give back everything they lost in the early (and then some) S&P 500 boom in about five months. This marks the fastest recovery on record from the bottom of the bear market to the fresh.

Now history seems to be repeating itself. You see, the last eight bear markets have seen a total of 13 improvements between 10% and 19.9% in three years, in the early 1960s. This is to say that the boom in the bear market is not directly increasing. Each bounce inevitably leads to one or two major improvements.
Of particular interest about the current correction is that it is led by Technol st G stocks. High-growth tech stocks rallied to a March 23 low, but now tech wreckage is pushing the broader market lower.
However, the loss in equity does not have to be bad. While a correction in the market may damage your arrogant right to some two weeks or months with your friends and family, but they always historically represent the opportunities to buy in high quality companies at bargain prices. Bull market rallies always improve the rearview mirror.
If the current technical wreck continues, the following four stocks will be a very interesting addition to investors’ portfolios.

Amazon
One of the largest publicly sold companies on the planet, Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN), Investors should enter shopping carts if it continues to decline.
Most people are probably familiar with Amazon for its seller ecosystem, according to analysts. Bank of America/ Merrill Lynch, U.S. There is no question that retail will be responsible for the lion’s share of Amazon’s sales for the foreseeable future.
But Amazon is much more than a razor-thin margin ret online retailer. Amazon also operates a leading infrastructure cloud service, Amazon Web Services (AWS). We are already seeing that before the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic hit a growing number of industries were well moved in the presence of / naline / cloud. The COViD-19 is a shot in the arm for the growth of AWS.
As of the June-end quarter, AWS’s year-over-year sales grew 29%. It is packing over 43 43 billion in extraplated full-year sales. Cloud service margins are much more juicy than retail or ad-based margins, so this strong double-digit growth in AWS will push Amazon’s operating cash flow through the roof over the next three or four years. If Wall Street values Amazon in the mid-multiple of its price-to-cash flow over the past decade, it should have 6 6,000 in stock by the end of 2023.

Fast
Cloud stocks led the rally and hit hard in the end. If the technical wreck is to continue, cloud computing is a service provider Fast (NYSE: FSLY) Buying is the name to consider.
Demand for this specialty has grown significantly as a result of recent corporate scandals. Before COVID-19 electricity was growing rapidly, but moving beyond the traditional office fee environment has made content online content and consumption more important.
The recent quarter saw an increase in the company’s existing customer spending and the strongest new client board boarding since the company’s initial public technology. Creating new clients is important for speed, but it is also a stimulus at the expense of existing customer base (some of which are brand-name companies) that will drive operating margin expansion.
Admittedly, fast is not generating profits yet. But with every other metric moving in the right direction, it’s a company you’re foolish to ignore (with a small ‘F’).

Palo Alto Networks
Did I mention how important cloud computing stocks have become? If tech stocks continue to mile, cyber security company Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PW) Could to add a complete portfolio.
Expect double-digit growth over many decades In many trends, the cybersecurity group offers a safe floor / return. That’s because hackers and robots don’t just take a day off because the US or global economy is struggling, or the business owner had a bad day. The protection of in-house and cloud networks has evolved into a basic need service, a level of cash flow forecast that is difficult to find in high-growth tech stocks.
The Palo Alto is poised to benefit from the necessary business transition that could have the opposite effect on its operating operating results in the near term, but greatly expand its margin potential in the long run. This transition includes the emphasis on subscription services and physical firewall products in favor of cloud protection.
Further, Palo Alto has aggressively expanded its portfolio of security solutions and appealed to small and medium enterprises through bolt-acquisition. This cost should allow the company to maintain a double-digit growth rate for many years.

Finally, investors should consider the goblining of social media giant stocks Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) If tech stocks continue to beat.
Investing in Facebook is about choosing the most influential social media platform. It ended the June quarter with an insane 2.7 billion monthly active users on Facebook. If you include its other sites, such as Instagram and WhatsApp, it is 3.14 billion. Taken together, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram (not in that order) are four of the seven most visited social platforms. Advertisers know they can’t go anywhere else to reach such a large and / or targeted audience, given Facebook’s incredible advertising-pricing power.
Even Facebook has not been able to completely free up its growth potential. Since most of its revenue comes from advertising, it only collects advertising revenue from its flagship Facebook platform and Instagram. WhatsApp TSAP and Facebook Messenger have not yet been monetized remotely by the company.
Facebook is also likely to surpass advertising revenue. The company’s Facebook pay service is an example of how it can complement its revenue growth.
