As of this writing, the Nasdaq Composite Index has plunged more than 33% from its November 2021 high. Around half of all stocks listed on the exchange have fallen at least 50% from their rolling highs. So, with seemingly no end in sight to the broader market’s plunge, it might feel crazy to own particularly volatile tech stocks right now.

But here at 7investing, we recognize that historic drops like these create extraordinary opportunities for investors capable of keeping a level head and focusing on buying and holding shares of the most promising businesses the market has to offer. 7investing Lead Advisor Steve Symington is convinced that many of those high-quality businesses reside in the nascent artificial intelligence and robotics industries.

In this episode of the 7investing Podcast, Steve is joined by Lauren Hein, Head of Advisor Relations at ROBO Global. ROBO Global is an index, advisory, and research company dedicated to helping investors capture the best opportunities in the fast-growing robotics, AI, and healthcare technology spaces. Among the topics Steve and Lauren discuss are:

• Why investors should have tech stocks in their portfolios, even amid a market selloff,
• The growth opportunity in tech outside of traditional megacaps like Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Meta (NASDAQ: META),
• How industrial robotics stocks fit into the broader robotics and automation ecosystem,
• Investment criteria and several industrial-focused robotics stocks ROBO Global is following closely, including Fanuc (OTCMKTS: FANUY), Teradyne (NASDAQ: TER), and Cognex (NASDAQ: CGNX).
