The idea
I think retail traders come back after sitting out September, so this basket owns the stocks the crowd chases in story-stock moods, the platforms and exchanges that profit whenever retail trades, and a slice of the coins retail favors alongside firms holding those coins. A data centre slice rides AI infrastructure spending separately from retail mood. I'm keeping a cash cushion to add on dips, avoiding single-name concentration, and expect to hold for months, reassessing if retail participation data doesn't turn up.
