sigh, guess I'm in TradFi now... My first article makes the case that US decoupling from China isn't a political choice but a structural necessity => Washington fell into a New Thucydides Trap, pouring resources into defense while China built the real leverage in critical minerals, semiconductors, and supply chains. The investment implication => expect this decoupling to accelerate, not reverse. linkedin.com/pulse/why-us-di…

It genuinely shocks me how many people, even white collar professionals, believe space exploration is fake. Is $SPCX massively overvalued? Fuck yes it is. But it won’t always be. A time will come when dilution & disinterest will give a good entry. TLDR: Space is the future as surely as self driving cars and robots are.

As an investor / speculator, majority of your time should be spent researching. Seek alpha, try and find the nuggets of info the majority are missing. This is your edge. It's a solitary task - but over time you will find likeminded people. Those people are worth their weight in gold. Been chatting with @BussinBiotech recently on $LPTH - and he is firmly in the camp of ultra clever people. He joins the ranks of legends and close friends such as @crypto_condom @CJ900X @krugman87 @intern_cc "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room"

waiting for 5days... i hate @binance

$LPTH DRS is in the pipeline as a customer. This is their new mass market thermal camera; group 1-3 UAV, UGV, USV. Sam Rubin and Doug Schoen both liked the launch post. Why this matters beyond the LinkedIn stalking 👀 The Tenum 640 Orbit runs a 10μm pixel pitch detector in the 8-14μm LWIR band. If the pipeline relationship is live, LPTH makes the lens that sits in front of that detector. Their BlackDiamond glass lens assemblies are specced for exactly this pixel pitch. The lens focuses the heat signature onto the sensor. No lens = no image. The detector is useless without it. And critically; the Tenum 640 Orbit is NDAA-compliant. That means no Chinese germanium in the supply chain. BlackDiamond is the only domestically manufactured, defense qualified, germanium free LWIR lens at production scale in the US. $LPTH own investor deck names DRS Tenum as a pipeline relationship. This post is the product going live. Obviously not confirmed by either company, this is just my LinkedIn stalking and breadcrumbing. 🫦

Ahem....the rerating is just beginning. Some thoughts in regards to biotechs from Research Discord fwiw

In early May, I max shorted $SAGA And it got -50% in a few hours, half of my position wiped, devastated After learning how these pumps actually work, I stopped trading them Made a video breaking down how traders get farmed from scam pumps $LAB

More evidence that Digital Biology is going to be a BIG narrative going forward.... many biotechs will rerate on it even if they arent fundamentally supported. Be careful to buy/long the RIGHT names. Thoughts from the Research Discord below on this topic fwiw. 👇

There are a lot of good tickers out there….but there aren’t always good entries. No matter how much you may feel FOMO, 9 out of 10 times it’s worth waiting for a retest even if it’s shallow. Even the best companies correct at somepoint. If they don’t, well, there’s always another trade. 🫡

Who’s that peace deal working out for your guys? Fading @axios is some of the easiest money you can make.

Took a large equity and call position in $IOVA at $3.60 & $3.90 entry. @BIOTECHSCANNER one of the best there is for $IOVA alpha tracking. He’s worth a follow. Will post a full thesis & DD later tonight but tldr is that TIL therapy, imho, is one of the best possible CURES for metastatic solid tumor neoplasia with an actual fda approved product that is expensive but effective. Competition have died on the alter of comparative clinical trials and IOVA is primed as an M&A candidate.

Cutting $AGRO for a 14% loss. It has not performed as hoped due to the suppression of oil prices. Given the multiple catalysts surrounding $LPTH, it remains my highest conviction trade since $INTC at $20. Expecting a near term @LockheedMartin x @lightpathtech thermal camera contract announcement OSIL @SpaceX partnership

The 19y kid brother of a family friend came over for lunch. The guy starts telling me how he is learning to do "day trading." When I point out most day traders lose money and better gains can be had by investing in stock fundamentals...I get a blank stare. Then a dim light bulb appears above his head and he proudly says "oh! you mean VALUE investing like Warren Buffett! No, I dont do that." 💀 Good luck, kid.

I hold 3 primary stocks in my portfolio which I consider generational "make it" trades: $LPTH, $BB and $ABCL. By limiting the number of large positions, I can track these super carefully & often understand price action better than @Bloomberg . For example: check out this BBG story on @BlackBerry...they note no catalysts but if you follow the stock closely (or follow my research)...you'd know that $BB is re-rating due to: 👉 Unexpected disclosure of $BB QNX back revenues at the CIBC conference where the CEO noted "“And this past year, we put in twice as much as we took out.” (current backlog is $950M) 👉Good circumstantial evidence that a direct government equity investment in $BB as part of the "Canada Strong Fund" is likely to be announced FYI $BB is up 8% in premarket today after rising 18% on Friday

The @lightpathtech CEO congratulating @LockheedMartin on their NGSRI website isn’t subtle but IS much appreciated 😉 All signs point to the fact that @LockheedMartin has likely won the NGSRI contract given this new website and recent NGSRI related hiring listings. If so, look out for a $LPTH rerating. If won, @lightpathtech will become the @LockheedMartin supplier of the advanced thermal camera systems used to support the Army’s NGSRI missile program. If won, $LPTH likely to generate an additional $50-100m in long term revenue. @BussinBiotech has a great chronology thread on the NGSRI timeline here: x.com/BussinBiotech/status/2…

The @intern_cc gave you the alpha on $LPTH's @SpaceX connection a month ago...and gave more 2 days ago. @BussinBiotech is now confirming with Linkedin Alpha. You have not even begun to see the re-rating that $LPTH will do as essential @Starlink tech 🫡

$EOS.AX and the road to UAE prime status Very long but detailed analysis of the last weeks announcements capital raise and strategic investment. Put a lot of work into this, so hope other investors get some insight! open.substack.com/pub/optimu…
