Mutual Funds Flood Into MegaTech Stocks As They Start Cutting Cash Allocations

Even before the NVDA blowout earnings report, Goldman flow trader John Flood wrote yesterday that on the bank's trading desk he had seen consistent Mutual Fund buyers in supercap tech over the last 3 weeks, ever since AAPL made it 5 for 5 in regards to MAGMA earnings beats (all that was before Nvidia added $200 billion in market cap in a stunning, record move). This was a key component of our note from this weekend, in which we observed the first notable sentiment shift of 2023, which pointed out the FOMO frenzy and hedge fund buying following the S&P breakout to new 2023 highs last Thursday. That's in part because Long Only funds entered 2023 holding a record $235BN of cash, and bracing for an imminent hard landing,having dramatically slashed mega-cap tech exposure in Q1.
