Market Summary:
The major indices are all trading higher at midday thanks to a tech-led morning bounce on Wall Street, with bulls eyeing a quick recovery following yesterday's deep selloff in stocks. Treasury yields pulled back slightly after surging higher in the wake of yesterday’s hotter-than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) that sent risk assets spiraling lower amid a drop in rate cut odds. Aside from tech stocks and the Nasdaq, small-caps have been enjoying tailwinds after the opening bell after plunging lower by almost 4% yesterday, but the fact that regional banks remained under pressure this morning could spell trouble for the Russell 2000 and the broader market.

Allocation Guidelines:
We don't recommend over investing in any stock. Consider starting with a small amount, say 2-3% of your portfolio's overall value, and add a little at a time.
You could invest as low as $200-$500 on a pick, and even buy just 1 or 2 shares, if you are new to investing, low on cash or just prefer going slow.
For best results, have an intention to hold your position for at least 2 - 3 years in general. However, you can always lock profits sooner if you prefer as every investor has a unique portfolio and different goals.
