    📊 I lean more conservative than WSB’s aggressive style. My trades overlapped with 4 of the Tiger Top 10: NVDA, TSLA, GOOG, BABA. NVDA showed AI momentum, TSLA reminded me of volatility discipline, GOOG reflected steady compounding, & BABA highlighted global sentiment swings. WSB’s picks had big gains but high volatility — I prefer consistency & risk control heading into 2026.[Cool][Miser]@JC888 @Barcode @Shyon @koolgal @Shernice軒嬣 2000 @Aqa @DiAngel

    As a Tiger $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ community member, I’d say I’m more aggressive overall, but not purely WSB-style risk-taking. I’m willing to accept volatility when there’s a clear long-term thesis, especially in AI-driven names, while still keeping risk management in mind to avoid large drawdowns.

    My overlap with the lists is mainly $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ , $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ and $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ which sit in both WSB and Tiger users’ top picks. These positions reflect my preference for high-growth leaders with real fundamentals, rather than chasing every speculative rally just for short-term excitement.

    Looking ahead, I won’t blindly follow WSB or intentionally bet against them. I aim to balance aggression with selective conservatism — accepting slightly lower but more consistent returns. Over the long run, I believe discipline and staying power matter more than chasing the highest headline gains.

    I am definitely a conservative investor as I prefer to manage my risks and try to minimise major drops in my portfolio. However, an exception to that would be my investment in HK and China stocks as these tend to be volatile and without reason. This stems from my conviction that China would eventually be the world’s top economy given their expertise and population size.


    For US stocks, my main investments are in ETFs rather than individual stocks as I tend to buy and hold and the proven safe strategy would be to invest in ETFs instead of individual stocks. Of course, my US ETFs have done well as these top 10 stocks are easily part of the underlying holdings for most ETFs, just that returns are definitely not as good. In the new year, I think I would still continue to stick to my strategy of buying ETFs. US stocks have rose quite a fair bit this year and close to historical valuations for most. I might just take profit first to have cash on hand. Be like Buffett, best to have cash now.

    展望新的一年，我不会简单地“追随 WSB”，也不会刻意“反对他们”。WSB 的价值在于情绪和方向感，它往往能更早捕捉到风险偏好变化；Tiger 社区的价值在于纪律和长期视角。真正成熟的交易者，应该学会在两者之间切换，而不是站队。

    至于今年的交易重叠度，我和这两份榜单都有交集，但没有完全复制。像 NVDA、GOOG、PLTR 这种，是“绕不开”的；但 RKLB、MSTR 这类，我更多是观察，而不是重仓参与。不是看不懂，而是清楚自己能承受的波动在哪里。
