Buy / Sell Recommendations

What This Skill Does

A research thesis without a recommendation is a paper, not work. This skill is the discipline of turning research into an actionable view: buy, sell, hold, or no view on a specific stock, with the conviction tier, price target, sizing logic, and exit triggers attached. The output is something a portfolio manager can put into a position the same morning. The same skill governs how you maintain the call — what makes you upgrade, downgrade, or kill the recommendation, and how often.

Most published research is buy-rated and never gets killed. That is a discipline failure, not a market signal. This skill exists to fix it.

The Recommendation Itself

Every recommendation carries six fields. Anything less and it's a tweet, not a call.

1. Action

One of: Buy · Add · Hold · Trim · Sell · Avoid.
