Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs above before starting.
- Summarize the general trends and dynamics relevant to the sectors or tickers provided, based on well-known, widely reported information.
- Lay out the factors a professional would weigh (valuation, volatility, diversification, time horizon) against the stated risk tolerance and horizon.
