Picking individual stocks has never been easier. Figuring out how to evaluate them is another story. Stephanie Link, Chief Investment Strategist, Head of Investment Solutions, and Equity Portfolio Manager at Hightower Advisors, joins Liz Thomas to explain her approach to researching stocks and constructing a portfolio amid a noisy and sometimes volatile market. Link discusses how investors can begin evaluating opportunities and how dollar-cost averaging may fit into a longer-term strategy. She also explains how she distinguishes long-term potential from short-term momentum, with an emphasis on company quality and understanding the underlying business rather than reacting to headlines.

As Chief Investment Strategist at Hightower Advisors, Stephanie Link spends her days researching the market's winners. Today, she's breaking it all down for us. Stephanie explains why the economy keeps defying the doom-and-gloom headlines, which stocks she thinks will champion the next decade, and why she believes we're only in the third inning of the AI revolution. Nicole and Stephanie get tactical fast: the difference between the Mag 7 and the "S&P 493," which stocks are not worth the hype, and Stephanie's thesis that cybersecurity stocks will end up being bigger than AI. She names her favorite tickers across cybersecurity, data centers, robotics, and quantum computing, and explains whether it's too late to buy NVIDIA. Stephanie also gets real about the so-called "AI bubble," the circular spending debate freaking out investors, and why she bought SpaceX but capped it at just 2% of her portfolio. Plus: what her 19-year-old daughter is investing in, why "FAANG" just got a 2026 update, and the one boring, unsexy ETF Stephanie says every new investor should consider.
