Mag 7: Buy One, Ditch One

We polled 380 Long Angle members asking: Which Magnificent 7 stock would you invest in today and hold for 10 years if you had to choose one?

Alphabet ran away with the top spot at 42%, followed by Amazon at 22%, together accounting for nearly two-thirds of all votes.

In the discussion thread, members highlighted Alphabet and Amazon as the most durable, diversified businesses with the strongest long-term optionality. While NVIDIA took third place, some members flagged concerns that current earnings may be at a cycle peak, making them harder to sustain over a ten-year horizon.

When asked which Mag 7 stock they'd permanently remove from their portfolio, Tesla led by a wide margin at 46%. Meta followed at 32%, Microsoft at 9%, and the others in single digits. Only 1% of voters said they’d remove Alphabet. 

The Tesla outlook is split: some see massive upside in autonomy and robots, while others view the valuation as a high-risk “future bet.”

Most AI travel planning advice covers prompt tips. For complex travelers (think loyalty points, multi-destination trips, and family logistics), the prompt is just the beginning.  

Long Angle members shared with us that they’re moving past the "search engine" mindset and treating AI as a system that builds knowledge over time. Here’s an AI travel planning blueprint based on their experiences:

The practical starting point is to store a travel preferences document in an AI project that you can reference in every planning conversation, including your travel party, preferred airlines, accommodation priorities, past destinations, and favorite activities. Structure the conversation in phases rather than asking for a complete itinerary in one prompt: destination scoping, then logistics, then day-by-day itinerary. 

After the trip, make sure to run a debrief within your AI. Capturing what worked and what didn't is the most underused AI travel tool, and it compounds itinerary quality over time. 

One honest caveat: live pricing, current availability, and up-to-date local information still require purpose-built integrations or manual verification.

Key considerations for each:

Next step: Identify your primary financial goal (growth, income, wealth preservation) and determine the level of volatility you’re willing to accept in pursuit of returns. Then, select asset classes that align with those priorities.

Most individual investors don't have the scale to access institutional-quality alternative investments, or full visibility into how those investments are evaluated. Long Angle members do.
