Think in terms of next few days.
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

Options (education only)
No strikes or expiries — a framework for how traders might express the view. Options can expire worthless.
Beginners should skip options here entirely because a garden tour is far too small to move stock prices.
