New account, so here’s the short version. I started at JPM. Built a company. Sold it for $100M . Served in places where risk was not theoretical. Now I spend my time looking for public companies sitting at the intersection of capital, technology, and strategic necessity. Defense tech. AI infrastructure. Space. Bitcoin. Critical infrastructure. I am not here to post 50 tickers and celebrate the ones that work. I am here to find the few names where the market is using the wrong frame. Old category. New asset. Messy transition. Right team. Massive demand pull. That is where the asymmetry usually lives.

FinX is becoming the new Wall Street Journal, but with better water cooler chatter. Every day there are accounts here breaking down obscure companies, hard to find filings, technical details and small pieces of nuance that traditional coverage will never touch. Often for free. That is incredible. But more information does not remove the need for judgment. It makes judgment more important. The edge is not seeing everything. The edge is knowing what matters.

“We question all our beliefs, except for the ones that we really believe in, and those we never think to question.” I’ve had a lot of these exchanges on X over the last 48 hours. People say they want logic, but what they often want is protection from the belief they are emotionally attached to. I will change my mind the second you give me better logic. No ego. No emotion. No theatre. If your argument is more sound than mine, I’ll say it in front of everyone and move on. That takes strength, not weakness.

Big if true.

Let's try again shall we.

I keep saying the same things because they remain true: “Cost basis is history.” “Price is not thesis.” “Volatility is not new information.” “Your feelings are not evidence.” “Ego turns feedback into pain.” “Attention is not respect.” If you have anything to debate with any of these sentences, you are beyond help.

If you don’t underhand this from an ex-Hedge Fund PM, there is no hope for you.

It’s incredible the types of nonsensical responses I get on some posts. I say something like “my cost basis is irrelevant to you because I still own the stock. It doesn’t matter if I’m up 50% or down 50%, the future is what matters.” Then some of you debate that. Just a reminder that most people are terrible at thinking clearly, and if you are simply logical, you have a serious edge.

Listen up folks. I’m not here to sell you anything. No course. No subscription. No paid group. Nothing. I’m also not here to sugarcoat things. I’m here for one reason: To help people see clearly. Without bias. Without anchoring. Without emotion. Without confusion. Why? Because it’s the surest way I know to make money. Take what is useful. Ignore what is not. Question the difference.

The harsh truth for FinTwit: People do not follow you because of your follower count. They follow you because they think your judgment is worth borrowing. The moment you start counting the crowd too loudly, you remind everyone that you might care more about the crowd than the standard.

A lot of people asked about my entry prices after the portfolio post. Why? My cost basis does not matter to the thesis. Entry price is where your ego wants to anchor. Current price is what matters. Let’s be clear. If you own a stock, you are implicitly saying you are willing to own it at today’s price. Maybe not more of it, but at least the amount you already hold. If that is no longer true, you do not have conviction. You have a bias.

Markets don’t need peace on earth. They need the Strait open and the worst case scenario taken off the table. Monday we rip.

Portfolio update: What I own and why. $IREN: AI’s biggest bottleneck is power and compute. Exposure to both through real assets. $ONDS: Autonomous defense platform across stratosphere, air, land and sea. Defense, offense, counter-drone, one-way attack, and battlefield comms that keep assets connected when normal networks fail. Civilian and military use cases in one stack. $ASTS: Space-based D2D cellular network. Cell towers moving from the ground to orbit. Starlink biggest competitor. $RKLB: Launch and space infrastructure. FedEx of space. They deliver payloads to orbit and build a lot of the parts and logistics behind it. $AMPG: Amplified signal for defense, satellites, radar, 5G and electronic warfare. Small hardware sitting inside very important comms systems. $DGXX: Compute and energy optionality. Early, messy, but pointed directly at the AI infrastructure bottleneck. $KRKNF: One of the biggest sleepers I own. Underwater drones, sonar and naval robotics in a market with very few serious players. Feels like a monopoly in parts of the stack. $MRLN: Autonomous AI pilot OS for aviation. Regulated, hard to deploy and trust heavy. The moat isn’t just code. It’s approvals, integration, flight data and operational reliability. $SIVE: Silicon photonics and mmWave. Bandwidth, wireless, satellites, defense comms and the physical layer behind AI. $ASPI: High purity isotope and element separation for quantum, nuclear, medical and strategic supply chains. Not advice. These are my positions, not instructions.

Serious question, since I'm still new here: Do you want someone you follow to celebrate how many followers they have? Just curious.

Done or not, this is the kind of headline that reminds you how badly this market wants an excuse to go risk-on.

It’s very important that you don’t copy my positions. Why? Because you can copy the ticker, but you cannot copy me. You don’t have my pain tolerance, my time horizon, my risk appetite, my courage, my conviction, or my ability to sit there calmly while everyone else panics. The edge isn’t the stock. It’s me.

This is the guy she tells you not to worry about. $ASTS

Rule 1: Never lose money. Rule 2: Never forget rule 1. I don’t know much, but I do know this: If you buy a stock, it goes down, and you sell it because you got scared, you have officially lost money. Until then, you owned a business with a price moving around it.

Look. I’m not a conspiracy theorist. But if I were a fund sitting on the sidelines, worried I had missed a real run in the exact names I wanted to own… A few ugly trading days, some scary macro headlines, and a little retail panic would be very convenient. Get people to hand over real businesses at a discount. Then act surprised when the same names bounce. Just saying.

I haven’t forgotten about $MRLN. I flagged it around $7. Then they announced the critical design milestone early, it ran toward $10 in after-hours, and the whole move got faded with the macro headline. That happens. But price action does not make the development disappear. I don’t throw out tickers after one post because they are down. We never leave a man behind. If the thesis is still alive, it stays on the board.
