Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock recently hit new 52-week highs. A variety of factors drive this rally, but the skeptics are warning off new investors and exhorting existing investors to sell into strength.

After over a decade of smooth sailing, stocks have been exceptionally turbulent for the past three years. Rising rates, high inflation, recession fears – you name it, and the bears have used it to maul share prices across the board. However, I believe there is a silver lining amidst the carnage.

Cybersecurity has been around for several years and will continue to be one of the fastest growing sectors. In addition to strong demand, these products command high margins.

Bloomberg recently discussed how a handful of investment firms control the $1.6 trillion private credit market, including Ares Management (NYSE:ARES) and Blackstone (NYSE:BX). “Private lenders have swooped into a void left by banks shying away from riskier loans amid fears of an economic slowdown.

Large and mega-caps like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) occasionally turn into multibagger stocks even after breaking into the big leagues. But this isn’t common.

I’ve been guilty over the last several years of creating an us versus them situation regarding Advance Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA).
