    📊 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.

    Within the Tiger community, the tone is generally more conservative than WSB. Trades are usually thesis-driven, anchored in earnings, macro trends, and risk control, rather than pure momentum or leverage-heavy speculation.
    Overlap with top U.S. stocks was naturally high this year. Megacaps dominated returns, liquidity, and narratives, especially around AI and rates. Holding these names was less about herd behaviour and more about seeking the best risk-adjusted exposure in a narrow market.
    Looking into the new year, following WSB blindly is risky, but dismissing it entirely is also unwise. WSB can surface early momentum and sentiment extremes, which are useful as signals. The disciplined approach is to observe, filter, and size positions carefully, not to copy trades.
    The edge going forward lies in selectivity, patience, and capital preservation, not bravado.

    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。

    核心仓位偏向确定性，确保自己不会被一次错误判断淘汰；但在主题明确、赔率不对称的时候，我也愿意拿出一部分仓位去拥抱波动。因为真正拉开长期收益差距的，往往不是“全仓激进”，而是在可承受风险范围内，敢不敢下注非共识。

    NVDA、AAPL、MSFT、AMZN、GOOG、META——这是一个明显偏向 大市值、确定性、基本面能被反复验证 的组合。即便像 PLTR、AMD 这种偏成长的股票，也已经进入“机构可以解释、模型可以覆盖”的阶段。这种组合很难给你两三倍的惊喜，但胜在波动可控、心理压力低。

    WSB 的名单里，有一个非常明显的特征：高弹性、强叙事、能制造情绪波动。RKLB、HOOD、PLTR、MSTR，这些股票不是传统意义上的“稳健资产”，而是典型的“赔率型交易”。一旦故事成立，涨幅会非常夸张；一旦方向错了，回撤同样残酷。MSTR 年内 -47% 就是最好的例子。WSB 的 76% 平均回报，本质上是建立在“允许极端分化”的前提之上。

    Wsb 的风格太高风险了。我觉得会睡不安宁，吃饭不香。而且万一选错了代价有点大，很难恢复。我还是支持老虎战队的，起码压力小很多。
