Within the Tiger community, the tone is generally more conservative than WSB. Trades are usually thesis-driven, anchored in earnings, macro trends, and risk control, rather than pure momentum or leverage-heavy speculation.
Overlap with top U.S. stocks was naturally high this year. Megacaps dominated returns, liquidity, and narratives, especially around AI and rates. Holding these names was less about herd behaviour and more about seeking the best risk-adjusted exposure in a narrow market.
Looking into the new year, following WSB blindly is risky, but dismissing it entirely is also unwise. WSB can surface early momentum and sentiment extremes, which are useful as signals. The disciplined approach is to observe, filter, and size positions carefully, not to copy trades.
The edge going forward lies in selectivity, patience, and capital preservation, not bravado.
