Execution

Step 1: Check Each Position

For each ticker in portfolio:

1. WebSearch: "[TICKER] news today"
2. WebSearch: "[TICKER] earnings" (if near earnings date)
3. WebSearch: "[TICKER] analyst rating"
4. Note any material findings

Step 2: Check Sector News

1. WebSearch: "AI semiconductor news today"
2. WebSearch: "big tech earnings news"
3. WebSearch: "NASDAQ today"

Step 3: Check Risk Factors

1. WebSearch: "Taiwan China news" (for TSM risk)
2. WebSearch: "AI regulation news" (for sector risk)
3. WebSearch: "tech antitrust news"

Step 4: Generate Signals

For each finding, classify:

• BUY signal (positive development supporting thesis)
• HOLD signal (neutral, thesis unchanged)
• SELL signal (thesis broken or major risk)
• WATCH signal (needs monitoring, not actionable yet)
