For my daughter's US stock portfolio, it will mainly consist of ETFs, and occasionally I will look for high-quality stocks that have been significantly undervalued to buy.
Companies currently in the portfolio

IWM is a small cap index.
Crowdstrike is a cybersecurity stocks.
AMD is other stocks.
Apple is apple.
APPL Apple stocks are free.
QQQ regularly adds positions, with a mechanism to eliminate the weak and retain the strong in the large cap, continuously removing poor performers and bringing in the good ones, so it is possible to participate in the strongest technology companies in the U.S. stock market in the long term.
IWM is a small cap indexes, mainly due to the serious disconnection of valuations between small cap and large cap stocks seen earlier, coupled with the Fed's initiation of an interest rate cut cycle, so it is expected that small cap stocks will perform well later. However, from the beginning of the year until now, it has been trading flat, until recently seeing some trends emerging after Trump's reelection.
Crowdstrike has always been focused on cybersecurity stocks, until recently, a bearish news caused a gap down, I bought in during the sharp decline, and now the stock price is slowly recovering. Cybersecurity is like buying health supplements, taking them may not necessarily be effective, but not taking them and regretting when something goes wrong later.
AMD's recent financial report also dropped badly. I looked at the financial report and there's actually no major issue, just that the market expectations were too optimistic. It dropped to around 140, so I took advantage and bought some at a lower price, and it has recently rebounded.
For the companies in my portfolio, my first choice for regular purchases is QQQ, followed by IWM, and I only consider others if there are opportunities to buy low.

These tech giants are all part of the latest artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, largely driven by the rise of ChatGPT and other generative AI apps earlier this year. Ap...
