Top Stock Picks in the US Market Right Now?

The US markets have been on a tear, and with rate cuts expected later this year, there’s a lot of debate on the best strategy right now. Are we in the middle of an AI-driven bull run, or is a correction on the horizon?

Here’s my current strategy:

:small_blue_diamond: Mega-cap tech is still leading the charge—AI spending is real, and companies like $NVDA, $MSFT, and $GOOGL are capitalizing on it. Staying long on AI-driven plays.

:small_blue_diamond: Cyclical stocks (like industrials and energy) could see upside if the Fed’s rate cuts boost economic activity. Looking at $CAT and $XOM as potential winners.

:small_blue_diamond: Small caps ($IWM) have lagged, but if the Fed cuts rates aggressively, they might finally play catch-up. High risk, high reward.

:small_blue_diamond: Dividend stocks & bonds are less attractive unless we get a market pullback—yield plays don’t look as compelling with stocks running hot.

:small_blue_diamond: Bitcoin & crypto stocks: With the halving event coming up, BTC exposure via $COIN, $MSTR, or miners like $MARA could be interesting.

What’s your game plan for the US markets? Are you going risk-on or playing it safe?

$NVDA, $MSFT, and $GOOGL still feel like solid plays, even if they seem stretched.

That said, if the Fed actually cuts aggressively, small caps should finally wake up.

Crypto’s the wildcard. The halving hype is real, and BTC has been moving like crazy. $COIN and $MSTR are decent ways to play it, but miners like $MARA could be the real high-risk, high-reward move.
