re: OUST - LiDAR for Physical AI and Smart Infrastructure

Of course the well-thought-out post I make for the day is the last message on page 55 so nobody can see it without flipping back. Just wanted to post again to direct people to that if they haven’t already seen.

Oust keeps flirting with breaking $40 barrier again. I think it likely gets there by close and maintains it into closing. How today’s close goes will be indicative of the rest of the week’s trajectory

Come on man! - talk about a bullseye prediction for EOD closing

OUST flexing with a STRONG close

OUST and NBIS with a strong close today.

I’m expecting them to both finish lower tomorrow than they did today, but I want to see them trending with higher lows.

OUST was up 17%. However, my 1/27 $50c was up 32%. I'm sure BB88 has plenty of options that are factoring into his personal account when he's saying he's up that much.

Yes. I was up 25% today on ELVA options. Had 34 calls.
Sold 14 of them to buy 500 commons. Total position is just north of 12k now.

And most of my OUST options were up 25-40% today.
Trimmed a few and bought 250 OUST and some other slightly more boring companies: FSLR, TDW, FTK, ALOY

OUST down but everything else holding.

What gives?

Overall market resting on their laurels awaiting GOOGL earnings.

One of those “dead days” in the market where most of the trading day movement would be revolving around an event that occurs after market close, so things chop relatively flat.

It could be a sign…

When NVE reports an 81% jump in quarterly revenue driven by robotics demand, it signals a massive acceleration in the actual manufacturing and purchase of physical robotic units worldwide.

Why This is Bullish for Industrial Equipment CompaniesNVE's earnings blast is a leading macro indicator. Before an industrial plant can deploy advanced automated equipment, the semiconductor components must be ordered first.

NVE's data validates that AI-driven factory automation has moved from conceptual testing into large-scale commercial scaling.This trend directly benefits several distinct classes of industrial equipment and automation providers:

1. Factory Automation Hardware & ControlsAs factories upgrade to handle autonomous systems, demand spikes for programmable logic controllers (PLCs), CNC machines, and factory floor integration software.Teradyne (TER): Specializes in automated testing systems and collaborative robots (cobots) used on assembly lines.Rockwell Automation (ROK): A direct beneficiary of domestic factory retrofitting and factory-floor data links.

2. Warehouse & Logistics AutomationLogistics remains one of the most mature, high-ROI sub-sectors for automation, making it a reliable cash-flow generator.Symbotic (SYM): Possesses a massive backlog of multi-million dollar contracts to automate distribution centers for retail giants.

3. Spatial Awareness and Vision SystemsAdvanced robots require more than just joint movement; they need spatial mapping. NVE's growth in underlying hardware tracks cleanly with vision software.Ouster (OUST) / Cognex (CGNX): Benefit from the immediate need for industrial LiDAR sensors and machine vision cameras that allow robots to navigate factory floors safely.
