> The TS Lombard executive sees parallels in persistent dip-buying, technology supply bottlenecks and confidence that higher rates would spare tech stocks.

Investors who routinely buy market declines may find the strategy failing, Dario Perkins warned, pointing to similarities between current technology markets and conditions surrounding the 2000 dot-com crash.

Perkins, managing director of Global Macro at TS Lombard, cited widespread dip-buying, technology supply bottlenecks and confidence that higher interest rates would leave tech stocks relatively unscathed.

At the dot-com peak, investors expected rate increases to pressure traditional industries while sparing technology companies. Those firms had low leverage and rapidly rising expected earnings, Perkins said.

The buying strategy persisted even as the bubble began to break, he said. Perkins’ comparison suggests that confidence in buying declines can endure as market conditions worsen, but he warned that the approach may fail investors.
