A hedge fund that initiated a position in $APG in Q2 2020 has been unloading it. Since then, the stock has surged almost 600%. Now, they're aggressively building a position in $TIC, making it the #1 holding in their portfolio.







GPUs do the thinking. Optical transceivers move the data between them. Without both, AI does not work. Everyone owns $NVDA. Almost nobody owns the company wiring it all together $AAOI $AAOI is one of the few shipping 800G transceivers at volume to hyperscalers right now. Not in qualification. Commercial shipments confirmed December 2025. The difference between $AAOI and names like $ALMU or $AXTI: vertical integration. $AAOI manufactures its own InP lasers in Sugar Land, Texas. Competitors source externally and face laser shortages. $AAOI does not. While China restricts Gallium and Germanium exports, $AAOI offers hyperscalers full supply chain sovereignty on US soil. Customers: $MSFT, $AMZN ($4B warrant agreement) ~$450M+ revenue run rate. Revenue nearly doubled YoY. Gross margins expanding from 25% to 31%. Capacity scaling to 200K units per month by mid 2026. CEO Chih-Hsiang Lin on the Q3 call: "Customers will invest AOI maybe $200 million under discussion... working very close with Texas State for support, including the U.S. government... net profit should be more than $150 million next year or even higher." $ALMU is pre-revenue. $AXTI is commodity substrates with China exposure. $AAOI is the deployed optical backbone of the GPU buildout.






Ehemalige Kommilitonin (32) von mir. Marketing bei DAX-Konzern, verdient 85.000 Euro brutto. Ihr Mann (37) hat Karriere in der Beratung gemacht, 160.000 Euro brutto. Die beiden erwarten jetzt ihr erstes Kind. Sie will ein Jahr Elternzeit nehmen. Elterngeld gibt es für das Paar nicht. Sie verdienen zu viel. Zitat der werdenden Mutter: „Das ist schon krass. Die Politik spricht immer von Frauen fördern. Und dann kriegst du ein Kind und stellst erstmal fest, dass du finanziell komplett abhängig von deinem Mann wirst.“


Comment seems fine. Realised pricing is around 75% of APT with a one month lag. Today APT is $1,350/mtu - so they would realise around $1,000/mtu. Costs are ~US$80m pa - to run both operations. Production is around 150,000mtu pa moving to 300,000mtu. Run 2 cases.. 1) APT $700, 75% ASP, $80m cost, 150,000mtu 2) APT $1,350, 75% ASP, $80m cost, 300,000mtu The first breaks even. The second generates US$220m (company trades ~US$500m)


Energy Fuels $UUUU at $1B was probably the most asymmetric r/r opportunity I have ever seen. Literally free money. That being said, I think EQ Resources $EQR at US$200M might be even better... Margin of safety, which is usually the most important metric to me, is so ridiculously high here, that even with subpar operational performance this should double or triple relatively easy. With top-notch operational performance we are talking about 6-10x returns. Tungsten price also have a lot of room to drop before I’m starting to getting worried. This play should work with $500/MTU upwards and we are currently at $800/MTU. Of course higher the better. Most important thing here is that this is not like Almonty $AII which is already priced to perfection. This is priced to depression and that is the key here which allows us to have a very high margin of safety regarding the equity performance in the next 12 months. Tungsten price: De-risked with a high margin. Market cap: De-risked with a high margin. Short term liquidity: De-risked with a margin. These are the exact setups you want to find from the market. For this trade to not work out? We need to witness a generational clusterfuck operational performance from EQR. Seriously impressed if they somehow can mess everything that badly, given they have two mines in production with commodity price well above breakeven. That is of course always possible and you never can’t get away from all the normal mining related risks. However, going into 2026 I’m comfortably long as EQR is now my second biggest position due the exceptional margin of safety levels. Kudos to @Alexsei88 for getting this baby on my radar.
