this week joining us now, elevation partners cofounder, early facebook and google investors roger mcnameere you >> pretty good. >> i can't figure out what to feel about this tech selloff is it really a selloff microsoft's market cap is still over a trillion dollars. yes, apple's off 10% from the high, but it's got all this china exposure, so is it really that bad >> no, jon, i don't think it is. i think the market is showing you it wants to buy stocks, and it's being hit repeatedly with political issues and foreign policy issues that really justify deep concerns, but the reality is there's a huge amount of cash on the sideline. earnings remain good, and in this particular situation, i think the market is being rationale. you know, it recognizes that the deal with china is a real thing, but it also recognizes that china has interests in trying to prevent this from going off a cliff, and the real uncertainty is in washington less than in beijing, and so from my perspective, i think the market is being total rational in looking to go pack back up here i think that's how investors should look
