Yes, I& #39;m cherry picking on dates and few Co& #39;s but that is to illustrate few main points.
1. Good things happen in the longterm when we focus on the major trends & their leaders, get attracted first to the innovation, quality & sustainable growth & not to the hype & past returns.

2. The phases of greed and fear in the Market (and in particular smaller sectors like SaaS) are always going to be there.
3. Focusing first on the more important things like evolution of trends, Customer value proposition..

From competitive perspective, I find analyzing E-Commerce easier (due to geographic limitations, huge investments needed..) vs SaaS (due to the huge # vertical/horizontal possibilities, # Co& #39;s).

Investing is high growth sectors and Co& #39;s is not easy, if you& #39;re not comfortable with the concepts of innovation and disruption (or using traditional analysis/valuation metrics) .

The two strings that pull new investors into growth sectors are "I don& #39;t know/care what it is, but I want to get in on this." vs "I like and understand the trends and the growth ahead, but I already missed the Boat".
Jumping into these sectors now in a big way (all at once) due to the hype & recent gains could result in disappointment.
Understanding the trends, best Co& #39;s within & building positions slowly & methodically along the way as you gain more knowledge & confidence is the better way.

For young investors with decades ahead of them and who have the time, passion & interest to study & invest in individual businesses, it makes sense to invest a small portion of your Portfolio into major sustainable trends..
