* "What's the risk if Cybertruck disappoints?"
**Step 3: Get AI analysis**
> AI: "TSLA Cybertruck event is priced in. Stock up 15% this month on hype. Risk/reward not great here. Wait for post-event dip if you want entry."
**Step 4: Make informed decision**

***
### 3. Filter Noise from Signal
**Not every headline matters.**
**Ask yourself:**
1. **Does this affect my portfolio?** If no, skip.
2. **Is this actionable?** If no, skip.
3. **Is this time-sensitive?** If no, save for later.
4. **Does this change my thesis?** If no, skip.
