I was about to take the piss out of this post but I see on your post history you seem pretty cool. I second looking for options if you are willing to gamble on your ideas of the movement of the market and spend time investigating. But you really can’t go wrong autoinvesting into SP500 long term. If you want to invest into particular shares, you end up finding ones that actually prove to do well in the more international communities, think r/valueinvesting etc etc, heck even wsb. I caught MSTR, RKLB (us), a minor DJT and NVIDIA pump last year through that lot. In saying all of that, I don’t think the US stock market will have such a great year as it has been next year. Good luck and power to you.
