Many investors entered the second quarter either deep in the red in their portfolios and or sitting on cash to deploy in the tech wreck. 

With the indexes reaching 52-week lows and several issues in the tech sector revisiting pandemic lows or beyond — and rising interest rates as the result of rampant inflation — much of Wall Street was prepared for lower prices.

All of this, along with the war in Ukraine, had investors on edge ahead of the second-quarter earnings season

Gene Munster, the managing partner of Loup Ventures, was one of the investors attempting to maneuver a vastly different environment from the last several years.
