💡 Writing Good Theme Descriptions
The Formula
Basic Structure:- “Large cap tech stocks with P/E under 25”
- “Dividend stocks yielding over 4% with 10+ year history”
- “Small cap biotech companies with upcoming FDA catalysts”
Be Specific vs Vague
❌ Too Vague
Bad: “Good stocks”- Problem: AI doesn’t know what “good” means to you
- Result: Random stocks
- Problem: No criteria at all
- Result: Won’t work
- Problem: Cheap by price? By valuation? By market cap?
- Result: Inconsistent results
✅ Specific & Clear
Good: “Tech stocks under $50 with positive earnings and revenue growth over 20%”- Why: Clear criteria (sector, price, earnings, growth)
- Result: Exactly what you want
- Why: Specific type (aristocrats), sector, yield threshold
- Result: Focused list
- Why: Technical criteria clearly defined
- Result: Actionable list

💡 Pro Tips
1. Start Broad, Then Narrow
Process:- Create general theme first
- See what you get
- Add filters to narrow down
- Repeat until perfect
- “Tech stocks” → 500 results
- “Tech stocks under $200” → 150 results
- “Tech stocks under $200 with positive earnings” → 40 results
- “Tech stocks under $200 with positive earnings and P/E under 30” → 15 results ✅
2. Use Themes to Answer Questions
Instead of asking AI every day, create a theme: Question: “What are good dividend stocks?” Better: Create theme “Quality Dividend Stocks” and monitor daily Question: “Any tech stocks breaking out?” Better: Create “Tech Breakouts” theme, check it every morning Themes = Persistent answers to recurring questions3. Seasonal Themes
Create themes for different times of year: Q4 (Nov-Dec): “Retail stocks with strong holiday sales” Q1 (Jan-Mar): “Beaten-down quality stocks (tax-loss selling rebound)” May: “Sell in May candidates (weak seasonality stocks)” September: “September effect bargains” Archive themes when season ends, reactivate next year4. Layer Themes for Better Picks
Method:- Create Theme A: “Undervalued Stocks”
- Create Theme B: “Momentum Stocks”
- Ask AI: “Which stocks appear in both my Undervalued AND Momentum themes?”
- Result: Value stocks starting to move = sweet spot
5. Copy & Modify
