Success Checklist
✅ I explored multiple themes in Ape AI
✅ I discovered stocks I wouldn't find alone
✅ I researched theme stocks thoroughly
✅ I understand the theme narrative and thesis
✅ I built a diversified thematic portfolio
✅ I know my risk level (momentum vs value vs growth)
✅ I have a rebalancing plan
✅ I'm tracking theme performance
✅ I know when to exit (theme breaks or better opportunities)
✅ My thematic allocation fits my overall portfolio
Remember: Themes are tools for idea generation, not buy signals. Always do your own research, understand the companies, and manage your risk. The best theme is useless if you overpay or over-allocate. 📊
Find the theme. Research the stocks. Build conviction. Invest wisely.
