Hgraf is NOT fun right now.

I missed the 4 dollar window on LWLG.
SLi won’t take off….ever.




I’m fun at parties.

Same

I bought a few thousand dollars worth of Vestis at $9.00 and it dropped to $3. Sat on that turd for a a while and it got back to even the last few weeks. Popped 30% today and I didn’t dump it.

I never go heavy enough into something to really move the needle so I end up keeping most stuff.

I’m in the energy sector. The industry is absolutely booming.

I’d go GEV and PWR.

GEV if they start competing the in the relay space with SEL, it’d be a game changer. They already are starting to overtake a lot of other companies on substation equipment.

PWR just killed their revenue and earnings. Tons of work

Goog is getting most of my new money.
Also, thinking of taking a position in Oust. Could be late on this one, but think it has room to keep running.
Sold my position in Wmt a few years ago, but am likely to get back in soon.

One more: PLUG

Laughably bad company that appears to be making a turnaround in an in-demand industry. I think it could see a bigger run really soon as people want to chase comparable stocks to BE - of which only FCEL and PLUG are really good comparisons

Why TMC?

TMC is already determined as the market leader in sea floor nodule mining. Trump admin is showing them a lot of good will, so I expect them to get their license to operate very soon. If so, they become the immediate market leader with a strong moat in a new growth industry (if you consider seafloor as its own industry). If you don’t consider seafloor its own industry, they still have immediate access to the largest available deposit of rare earths with a big moat to protect their lead (since they can’t own the seafloor like other rare earth companies own deposits). They have the potential to have the lowest cost of rare earth mineral acquisition as well.

US rare earth acquisition and production will be a huge expanding industry in the next few years, as Trump admin is pushing it, and Dems actually aren’t opposed on this single issue since they also dislike China

I have MANU and TKO just for fun. It's cool to be able to say you're part owner of those.

As a bonus, I got TKO at the pandemic bottom (before the UFC merger).

Just curious on your take. I already own some, but I haven’t added any more recently.
