We open the February 2026 mailbag to answer your questions on how to handle the psychological toll of the "SaaS apocalypse" and when it actually makes sense to buy the dip. We also discuss how to assess relative risk in a portfolio, dive deep into the differences between SentinelOne and CrowdStrike (including thoughts on stock-based compensation), and reveal the "falling knife" software stocks we are most tempted to buy right now, including ServiceNow and Salesforce.
