Key Caveats

• "Best" depends on your time horizon, risk tolerance, and goals. Nvidia and Microsoft are lower-risk core holdings; Micron and Dell offer higher upside with more volatility.
• All stock picks carry risk. AI valuations are stretched in some names, and sector-wide corrections are possible. Analyst price targets are not guarantees.
