@Temple_Eight Guess it was the former. I was about to grab puts at close but chickened out…just not worth the risk going short in this market rn IMO

Either it pumps to $100 or it gets crushed. Binary outcome here. If the Chinese don't clamp down this quarter, they'll get hit in the next imo.

@Winterrose @aleabitoreddit Can still be “America First” while being competitive w/ IBKR offering international stocks. They are missing out on tons of $ by ppl like myself creating a new/second brokerage acnt on IBKR for access to these

@aleabitoreddit betting on America first will always pay off just watch

Product innovation from $HOOD would have been enabling international stock trading ASAP. Instead they doubled down on "prediction markets" + "raffles" + new crapcoin listings where retail recklessly lose their money. They also lost retail to $IBKR that now enabled Korean stock trading. Especially due to international stock growth from Taiwah, Korea, Europe, Japan. As a result, we saw new IBKR accounts grow to an all time high this quarter (just from qualitative experiences). My opinion is $HOOD missed earnings since they lost track of what they should actually do to help out retail investors. If they had retail investors all spending tons of TX fees from int. Equities trading, likely more margin usage, fees, cash on platform, wealth appreciation, and so on, which is the basis of the platform. Maybe things would have gone better despite digital asset downturn.

@Temple_Eight Sold this AM at $61…should have held tight another hour or 2. The burn in stocks you mentioned entering in your tweet last week, you anticipate at least 12 mo. time frame of likely holding? TRT been very volatile but I guess to be expected for a run up micro w/ recent offering

$MXL. Wasn't finished yet.

@craigers211 @johhnyWalkerAZ You 1000% just made all this up dude

@johhnyWalkerAZ Sounding like $MRVL tried a takeover with a low ball offer and got pounded. Rumours about that they may be trying a hostile takeover. Things could get spicy here. Let’s get our white knight and get the valuation we deserve!

I definitely was not expecting a rebound so fast. Let’s see if it sticks $POET

@fundmyfund I drive by this company HQ once a month, had it one on my watchlist since Nov., and still missed it 🤦🏻‍♂️

$KOPN remains beast mode early

@Temple_Eight I think that’s smart. Your work speaks for itself - time and time again uncovering little known tickers and unknown bottlenecks that I’ve seen play out/re-rate in real time. Super impressive

@OG_PViews I actually don't read competitors sub stacks as I want to have my own original ideas and don't want to be incidentally influenced by anyone else.

The old man stock is finally breaking out I knew it would do it this week. $CLF

@Temple_Eight Citrini catching on 2 months after your write up (along with the rest of finX). Great research as always

@AtlasShrug1 @Temple_Eight I think this is spot on. Occasional puts to fade a big move, otherwise not worth the R/R IMO

What is the line between being early and being wrong? I worked in the hedge fund industry for many years with the best and brightest, but never encountered even 1 person who could consistently generate alpha shorting stocks. Personally I don’t do it, there are far too many ways to lose even if you are right on the fundamentals. For me just running w/ more cash when you aren’t constructive equities makes the most sense. Once in a great while I’ll buy puts, but even that I son’t do very often. The market goes up 80% of the time, if you’re short you’re like Cousin Eddie walked into the casino losing money in “pick a number between 1 and 10”.

You're not bullish enough.

@Temple_Eight Amazing trade. You think $65ish is a ceiling or just felt you had to take the massive gains in such a short time frame? Ik of course you’re expecting a major market pullback in coming months

I ended exiting $MXL at $60 had my limit order there , thought I put $65 oops. Tidy 279% return for a week's work.

@Temple_Eight Wish i got more $ in or grabbed some calls. It was climbing so much every day other than last 2 didn’t wanna chase too much. Great find man 👌🏻

Explosive move on earnings $MXL We entered at $21.50 last Thursday when we posted the trade on sub stack.

@Temple_Eight Yup I’m in NGK - that was the catalyst for me to finally open an IBKR acnt. You mean 5333, right?

@OG_PViews NGK 5888 looks like its primed for lift off.

Since our publication on April 7, 2026, when this stock was trading at ¥1,294, NDK ($6779.T) has seen an explosive breakout. Based on todays price: Percentage Gain: +50.70% Timeframe: 13 calendar days (approx. 9 trading days!)

@Temple_Eight I’m sure you got your hands full with research & writing for the substack but Rigaku (268A) may be of interest to you if haven’t already come across them. Onto bought a 27% stake in them today. Medical X ray company pivoting to chip diagnostics

@OG_PViews Wowza

@Temple_Eight @cesarsroy Yup I hear you. Short term trades/recent IPOs “chasing” (even 30-40%+ moves) can make sense when a stock is running like crazy/has a major potential catalyst. I’m actively trying to be better investing based on alpha, not price to avoid getting stuck on sidelines like me w/ MRVL

Its smart to do that. The only reason why I'm going against my normal good sense today is because it is a drone company and drone companies during IPO weeks have gone vertical. This is more of a trade into tomorrow. I'll probably close the position either tomorrow or the day after.

I bought some $AVEX today, despite it already being up 50% plus. The numbers are compelling enough to be a multibagger off of a fresh IPO.

@cesarsroy @Temple_Eight 6779* (NDK) but yup sometimes they get away from you. Japan stocks can be tough since IBKR only allows at least 100 share buys at a time. It’s not a lot of $ but my IBKR account is small compared to my other brokerages. Makes it harder to catch dips in smaller buys/DCA

@OG_PViews @Temple_Eight same here Mike, but I may reconsider in the future. For 6679 for example; i had a big order at 1580 to catch the dip. The mofo went down to 1582 ... and now its ripped 30% from there. I didnt get filled haha. For 2 miserable yens.

@cesarsroy @Temple_Eight MRVL I kept waiting and it never came. Missed my entry. Fortunately at least got some short dated calls last week

@Temple_Eight Well some times it works... Look at $MXL - I felt it had run already a lot and boom. 40% more from there.

@Temple_Eight Absolutely killing it with your newest picks. Had a limit order in yesterday but pullback never came lol. Jumped in today a little over $24. FPS picking up traction as well 👌🏻

Re: $MXL The Rushmore platform also carries a 20 percent power per port advantage over legacy 1.6T DSP architectures. In a world where Meta and AWS have set hard 40-watt-per-port thermal ceilings for air-cooled data center deployments, a 20 percent power reduction is not something giga watt starved hyper scalers can afford to pass up on in 2026. We’ll let the stats speak for themselves: Rushmore supports 224G SerDes with sub-25 watt total module power in a 1.6T-DR8 configuration. It achieves this through MaxLinear’s CMOS direct-drive architecture, which eliminates the external driver amplifier stage that legacy DSPs require. This mirrors precisely what HyperLight’s TFLN Chiplet Platform achieves on the modulator side: both companies have independently converged on the same architectural conclusion, which is that removing the driver amplifier from the signal chain is the only sustainable path to air-cooled 1.6T deployment.
