Tableau added

Been in a new job for 2 months, I am very glad that I have gotten quite familiar with using Tableau.
I was told it was one of the Holy Trinity for data analyst, the other 2 being Excel VBA and SQL which I had experience with.

I just bought 1k SGD worth of Tableau shares in IG platform.
Currently the US market is soaring. So are my Uniqlo shares.













How do I get an idea of a company that has not made profit yet, but I see it as a potential?
For me, I look at the yearly sales, and market cap.
Lets say market cap is 5 billion, yearly sales is 1 billion. 
If there is no cost, PE ratio is 5. This is just a lazy way for me to get some idea.

Currently markets are soaring. 
I am always waiting for a crash to grab shares.
But no one knows when, and it has not happened for close to a decade now.
So I should buy small amounts whenever there are small chances.
But at the same time, balance so that I have a bag of money to throw when crash really comes.

Tableau actually fell more than 40% in Feb this year to around $50.
It rose to around $80, and crashed 10% few days ago.
I bought it at a OK price at around $70.

The world may be dominated by tech companies in the future, so it is better I accumulate to mitigate my fears.
