Hi everyone, I’m resetting my portfolio and want to build a focused 8-stock portfolio with strong long-term upside while still being somewhat diversified.

My main goal is to outperform the S&P 500 consistently over the next 5–10 years. I’m fine with volatility and willing to take some calculated risks for bigger returns.

I’m looking for a mix of high-growth stocks, AI/tech exposure, solid long-term compounders, and maybe 1–2 speculative plays with huge upside potential.

If you had to build the best 8-stock portfolio today to beat the market long term, what would your picks be and why?

Curious to hear everyone’s highest-conviction stocks right now.

Parkev still ranks $TTD as one of the top stocks to buy, and he’s still holding his position and buying more. It’s a good watch I recommend checking it out.

Not bad earnings at all.

People acting like TTD is finished now, but everyone forgets this stock was trading around $140 when Wall Street loved it.

No company grows in a straight line forever. Every business goes through rough periods, slower growth, bad sentiment, and overreactions from the market.

That’s just how stocks work.

When a stock is flying, everyone calls it a genius company. When it drops 50-60%, suddenly people act like it’s trash. We’ve seen this happen so many times before with quality companies.

Personally, I still think the fundamentals are there and the moat is still strong. Nothing has changed long term for me.

I added more shares today.
Now i own 2040 shares

Over time, I think TTD can easily get back to around $55+, and if sentiment turns again like we’ve seen in past cycles, I honestly wouldn’t be shocked to see a 200% move within a year at some point.

The biggest returns usually come when everyone else loses conviction.

Good luck folks.
