Time horizon

Think in terms of next few days.

Confidence & best fit

low confidence · Active trader

Low confidence → prefer ETFs and “Watch,” not rushing into one stock.

Quick glossary: Watch = track, don’t buy yet · Build slowly = only if it fits your plan · Protect = reduce risk · ETF = a basket of stocks (often safer than one company)
Safer theme exposure (ETFs)

Baskets that own the theme without betting on one company.

  • $IGV A basket of many software companies, which is safer than betting on just one stock like Adobe.
  • $QQQ An index fund holding the biggest tech stocks to track general market excitement.
