Investors should reconsider their affection for the safety of technology megacaps and start seeking out risky assets like beaten-down high-growth stocks and Chinese shares.

"In the first half next year, assuming inflation shows signs of normalization, assuming the Fed ends up being more balanced and doesn't continue to move forward with tightening, which I believe the market is pricing in, and assuming the Covid situation starts to come back under control, I think you'll see a rotation from lower-beta megacaps into higher-beta."
