After getting a lot of experience investing in the S&P, I moved into smaller tech stocks.
When I was new to investing, I chose SP500 for safety. After spending more time learning and building, I started moving into smaller tech stocks and now they makeup about like 70% of my portfolio, 30% is still in the S&P500
Usually, I look into industries that I think have strong potential over the next few years. Honestly, for me the answer keeps coming back to tech stocks. To niche down even more, I started looking at companies like WeRide. I choose stocks based on their fundamentals, statistics, and long-term potential. The robotaxi industry is still maturing, but I think it has huge future potential.
I split on 30/70, 30% S&P and 70% high conviction tech by looking at three specific metrics: Fleet/Asset, Regulatory and Multiple Revenue. For example, looking at WeRide’s Q1 numbers and their expansion into developing markets like the UAE, Singapore, and Europe, it feels like a very interesting growth story. They reported 57.6% revenue jump and their product revenue spiked 115.8%. They are hitting 1300 vehicles right now. Instead of guessing the next move, I'm looking at the fact that they are doing full driverless, fare-charging runs and public rides. It feels like tracking these infrastructure stocks feels more like a calculated move than just listening to whatever is trending. This is one of the recent cases I’ve been researching as I try to refresh and improve my own portfolio.
