    Sometimes the markets can get too negative and this is when we need that eagle eye to identify opportunities.

    I believe the market has slammed Appen (APX) far too hard

    APX
    - is now 63% below its all time high of $43+ on 26 Aug 20
    - has now retraced 37% lower since 16 Feb 21 , the start of its recent downturn
    - significantly is 6.3% lower than its March lows

    So, I get it that market participants are concerned about tech downdraft due to higher bond yields, which may come to pass. However with its share price being 6.3% lower than the COVID March lows while guidance is suggesting an 18-28% EBITDA growth going forwards, the risk-reward at the current price is actually rather attractive.

    APX is a fundamental tech in the right space- AI , a $2B company that is proven , compare that against BRN at $800+ market cap, you can clearly see the valuation of APX is cheap.

    I am onboard APX this morning, a clear indication that I would be more selective and be scouting for better value in the upper end of town market.
