Confidence & best fit
low confidence · Long-term investor
Low confidence → prefer ETFs and “Watch,” not rushing into one stock.
Safer theme exposure (ETFs)
Baskets that own the theme without betting on one company.
Single stocks (higher risk)
Primary = closest to the story · Peers = same industry · Second-order = knock-on effects · Avoid = looks related but may be a trap
