Calendar year 2022 will be characterized by a major correction in high-growth and tech-related asset prices (a sustained downward repricing versus 2020–2021 levels).
I predicted and you guys had similar predictions on just a few weeks ago that this would be the 2022, would be the year of the correction.View on YouTube
Explanation
Market data for calendar year 2022 shows a large, sustained correction in high‑growth and tech‑related asset prices relative to their 2020–2021 peaks:
- The tech‑heavy Nasdaq Composite fell about 33% in 2022, its worst annual performance since 2008, driven largely by sharp selloffs in high‑growth technology names.【turn0calculator0】
- Popular high‑growth/"innovation" ETFs such as ARK Innovation (ARKK) suffered even steeper drawdowns: ARKK was down roughly 67% in 2022 and over 80% from its February 2021 peak, reflecting a severe repricing of unprofitable and high‑multiple tech stocks (widely reported in financial press and fund performance summaries).
- Many individual high‑growth tech stocks (e.g., pandemic beneficiaries in software, e‑commerce, fintech) declined 60–90% from 2020–2021 highs during 2022, as documented in year‑end 2022 market reviews and drawdown tables across major financial outlets.
Taken together, 2022 was clearly characterized by a broad, deep, and sustained correction in high‑growth and tech‑related asset prices from the elevated valuations of 2020–2021. This matches the substance of Sacks’s prediction that 2022 would be a “year of the correction” in those assets. Therefore, the prediction is best judged as right.
