Focus on short-term long opportunities in cyclical stocks (e.g., industrials, airlines, financials) and small-caps, such as Russell 2000-related ETFs. Falling oil prices benefit consumer/airline sectors, but beware of retracement due to Iran's denial of talks. Recommend quick in-and-out trades or setting stop orders. Tech stocks (e.g., Nvidia, Apple) can be lightly positioned for a rebound, but avoid FOMO buying. - **Long-term Investment Recommendations**: The bull market is not over yet; AI themes and US economic resilience remain core drivers. Bullish on overall risk assets (stocks over bonds) for 2026, but diversification is needed, monitoring Fed policy shifts and oil price/inflation dynamics. If geopolitical tensions stabilize, recommend increasing holdings in high-quality growth stocks and small-caps, holding the AI beneficiary chain long-term. **The above content is for informational summarization and logical analysis only, not professional investment advice.
