作爲老虎社區成員，你認爲自己像WSB論壇一樣更保守還是更激進？
今年您的個人交易與這十大美國股票有多少重疊？
在新的一年裏，你會追隨WSB的選擇還是反對他們？
我和名单的重叠主要是 $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ , $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$和 $英伟达(NVDA)$ 这是WSB和Tiger用户的首选。这些持仓反映了我对具有真实基本面的高增长龙头的偏好，而不是仅仅为了短期刺激而追逐每一次投机性反弹。
展望未来，我不会盲目追随WSB或故意做空他们。我的目标是平衡侵略性和选择性保守主义——接受略低但更稳定的回报。从长远来看，我相信纪律和持久力比追逐最高的整体收益更重要。

My investment strategy is driven by one core philosophy: Simplicity over Stress.
While others maybe glued to their screens at 3am, trying to chase the next high risk bet, I am allowing the power of low cost index ETFs like $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPYM)$ & $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ to do the heavy lifting.
My strategy gives me a crucial competitive advantage that you can't buy on any exchange time:
More time with loved ones. Every hour I do not spend on agonising over a market dip is an hour I spend with my loved ones.
Less screen time, more peace. I do not need the adrenaline spike of day trading.
Better sleep. I am more interested in restful nights than overnight profits.
In 2026 my portfolio maybe boringly consistent but my life will be richly lived.
Cheers to passive income & active living!

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.
Check them in the history - “community distribution“
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 consider myself a more diversified investor
2. My personal trades did overlap the top 10 with $Microsoft(MSFT)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$
3. I will follow wsb trades and participate in the forum
