This is why ETFs can be your friend.  You can get them in various groups, like health care, or tech, or large stocks, etc.  I like SCHD, which is an ETF for dividend paying companies with a track record for increasing them.

XLK is a generic investment in "tech stocks".

although, I wouldn't buy Tesla stock this morning

I never bought any Tesla stock, and wouldn't today.  It's almost a meme stock, to me.  It's actually up a bit this morning.

A forward PE of 102, which would normally signal a stock with explosive growth potential, on a company whose quarterly revenues have been flat over the past year. 

For reference, the forward PE of NVDA is ~28. Their annual revenue just doubled, after doubling the previous year, so is now 4x what it was two years ago. 

Yeah, meme stock. Valuation is completely devoid of fundamentals.

One of my sons works for tesla.  Gave him a bunch of esop and stock bonuses. Hope it becomes a great meme stock so he can take advantage of it

Who benefits from Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act extension

As Congress debates how to handle trillions of dollars in expiring tax breaks, lawmakers on both sides have been lobbing claims about which consumers will see the biggest benefits from extending them. Economists and tax experts say the answer isn’t so straightforward.
In short: Who benefits depends on your frame of reference.

House Republicans passed a budget plan Tuesday that lays the groundwork to extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a package of tax cuts enacted in 2017 during President Trump’s first term.
Many of the cuts for individual taxpayers will expire after 2025 unless Congress acts — and the GOP can do this with a simple majority vote in Congress by using a special legislative maneuver called budget reconciliation.
