Acorns to Oak Investments

2026 top pick: $EOSE I think we will end the year above $30. This is the year the market wakes up to what has been building and revenue can no longer be ignored.

@SJCapitalInvest $EOSE! Best battery play set to take off this year

Excellent guide on using AI to enhance stock research and investing, highly recommend reading!

@SJCapitalInvest Thank you for this! Well written and an inspiration to how I've been approaching investing. Thank you for the work on $TE, you got me in the company!

@SJCapitalInvest Great write up! Looking forward to more of these

@jrouldz I always appreciate the diverse topics you post on, from stocks to photos to plants!

Thoughtful, researched post about the state of global poverty: 60 likes, 10K views Post showing stock gainz + meme: 211 likes, 28K views I wish the X algo would prioritize unique thoughtful content But the more I think about it, the more I think it’s not really the algorithm’s fault Algo is just a reflection of human nature We, as people, prefer stock gains + memes, so the algo delivers that for us I hope increased creator payouts doesn’t cause even less unique quality content I for one will keep the thoughtful posts coming anyway (and memes too) 😆

I'll take it to start the year!

@daniel_koss Currently in 4! Looking to add $VELO soon

What do you think will be the best performing investment themes of 2026? Yes, obviously AI, but at this point that's like saying "the Economy". Which parts of AI? Robotics also too broad. My main bets: Autonomous trucking scaling $AUR Lidar finding more use cases $OUST AI Cloud SOFTWARE adding margins $NBIS Marine Defense scaling $KRKNF Solar scaling $TE Batteries scaling $EOSE Metal 3D printing could have a monster year $VELO

@moninvestor Very excited to follow along!

I started my Long-Term Portfolio in 2023. I started my Short-Term Portfolio in 2025. In 2026, I’m starting a new portfolio. I’m calling it The Discovery Portfolio. I will be actively managing this portfolio with a focus on identifying emerging companies, new technologies, and early-stage opportunities that have the potential to become major winners over time. I expect volatility and a high degree of failure, but the goal is to discover a small number of companies that can eventually earn a place in my Long-Term Portfolio.

@weary_centurion I appreciate the transparency and also the real time updates with $PYPL. I agree that there are probably better opportunities considering the inability to have 2026 be a growth year. I'm also redeploying my position at a loss to other stocks. Hurts now, but I think it'll pay off.

$PYPL 🚨 LONG POST ALERT🚨 I believe I am not wrong on the overall thesis of PayPal Long term, it still applies But I will admit that I was wrong on the timeline I thought Q3 would potentially be enough to change the narrative and if not, definitely Q4 But I cannot and will not ignore fundamental changes If I was happy that the fundamentals were continuing to strengthen and that growth was reaccelerating as expected, then I would likely still have most of my portfolio in $PYPL But that roadmap has now changed unexpectedly and that is why I have repositioned and will continue to reassess my portfolio Execution risk was the only major bear case I could identify with PayPal and it turns out that risk has materialised, contrary to my own expectations If fundamentals change then I will act And that means taking risk off the table even if it means selling shares at a loss, or conversely at a profit Whether for a loss or a gain is actually immaterial to me Alex Chriss has been quite clear in his commentary Guidance for next year is now uncertain 2026 was not too long ago described as an “acceleration year” which what my positioning was based on But that is no longer the case Transaction margin dollar and EPS headwinds are now expected due to investment being required in new partnerships and initiatives Now, whilst I think this is actually the right move for PayPal and its long term sustainability The fact is that this plays into the Wall Street narrative that PayPal is a dying company, with all eyes on branded checkout growth Branded checkout growth has already been downgraded by none other than the CFO Jamie Miller, who recently stated that branded growth will be “at least” 2% lower than in Q4 This has already been seized upon and factored into analyst commentary, with 2026 now being pegged as a “show me” year Doubt remains over where PayPal can actually return to 10%+ revenue growth, and for the first time I cannot defend that narrative, because it is now supported by management 2026 is now potentially another transition year I was not expecting that I hate the term “opportunity cost” But I actually think it could now apply here based on management commentary I do not want a large chunk of my portfolio locked up for another transition year —————————————————— PORTFOLIO CHANGES I react to objective facts Not feelings Not pride And definitely not stubbornness Iv been thinking about this long and hard since listening to the CFO speak on the 3rd December I already cut PayPal down to 45% of my portfolio but I now believe that is probably too much based on my findings I cannot justify this weighting based on my current beliefs Next week I will likely be de-risking my position further I do not need to tell you this, but I choose to do so, based on my commitment to honesty and accountability THOUGHTS Is it painful? Yes Will I get abuse from trolls? Probably Do I care? No Because those who criticise demean only themselves And you know full well they only behave in such ways because their lives are miserable What I care about is sharing my thoughts and reflections for those of you who can learn from my shortcomings This is valuable information should you choose to use it And the best thing about it? It’s totally free I don’t get any money for this My account is eligible for monetisation and yet I have not activated it I cannot for reasons I will explain to you one day, but at this point, you can be assured that I have no monetary incentive for anything I do on here I cannot be bought or influenced I will speak my mind You can expect nothing other than brutal honesty from me and I will never change I have been this way all my life It’s who I am You may not like what I say but I will never block you for disagreeing with me providing you remain respectful Not financial advice "If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it" - Marcus Aurelius

@RKLBMan A big reason I'm long $NBIS, such a broad company executing on many themes!

Let's talk delivery robots! 🤖 2 days ago, there was news that the White House is targeting robotics is "all in" at advancing robotic manufacturing. Since, Serve Robotics ( $SERV ) is +30%. $SERV is typically one of the first name people think about in the speculative robotics category (along with $RR and others). But, if you're interested in companies in this category, you cannot overlook Avride (owned 100% by $NBIS). Let's start with $SERV. This company specializes in sidewalk delivery robots. Their focus is solely on last-mile delivery of items like food and groceries in public urban areas. $SERV has aggressively expanded its partnerships, including major agreements with 7-Eleven and DoorDash, and has an agreement to deploy up to 2,000 robots on the Uber Eats platform by the "end of 2025". Current markets: LA, Chicago, Dallas, Miami and Atlanta. In comparison, Avride has a broader technology scope, developing both sidewalk delivery robots and autonomous cars. A unique point is that their autonomous technologies are shared and adapted across both the delivery robot and self-driving car platforms, allowing them to benefit from each other's advancements. Note: Avride just launched their first AV with $UBER earlier this week in Dallas. But let me get back to delivery robots... Avride currently has a very different approach to scale. They only have ~160 active robots today, and are demonstrating success on both dedicated college campuses and select urban areas, often pioneering new partnerships (like Grubhub in Jersey City) while competing with Serve in key cities like Dallas. When comparing deliveries, both point to "well over 100,000" - Avride has touted over 80,000 deliveries alone just at Ohio State University. So with rollout, $SERV is focused on scale, while Avride is focused on depth. I'm not going to dig too deeply into financials, as i'm not able to compare $SERV with Avride. But $SERV is growing fast, but with relatively small revenue. in 2025, they're projecting about $2.5M total revenue, however they suggest to 10X that in 2026 with their 2,000 robot deployment. Huge growth. Since Avride isn't a public company, financials are harder to assess. Per regulatory filings, in 1H 2025, Avride brought in about $400K revenue. My take: - $SERV appears to be scaling quicker with # of robots. And at $1B valuation, they're at ~500 P/S today. 10X revenue next year will certainly show tremendous growth. It's an interesting spec stock in my opinion. - Avride appears to be valued around $3B, but it is not just a delivery robot company; it is an autonomous vehicle (AV) company with two platforms: sidewalk robots and full-size robotaxis. The delivery robots are effectively a high-volume proving ground for the same core AI stack used in their full-size Hyundai Ioniq 5 robotaxis, which recently launched commercial service with Uber in Dallas. Investing in $NBIS is investing in the full autonomous vehicle ecosystem, which has significantly higher revenue potential. - $NBIS is currently worth $25B, which is essentially valued for their core full stack data center/neocloud business, but includes Avride, and other valuable businesses like Clickhouse, Toloka and more. For me, I want exposure to the robotics theme - but I prefer to own the diversified technology company vs. placing my bets on $SERV. To me, $NBIS is a mini-ETF - giving me exposure to multiple AI themes in one ticker.

@SolunaHoldings @jbelizaireCEO Love seeing this! Long $SLNH

Wind turbines across the country are forced to shut down because the grid is full, leaving massive amounts of clean energy unused. Soluna changes that. Project Kati is our 166 MW wind-powered data center that turns curtailed energy into renewable computing for AI, HPC, and Bitcoin mining. This is the future. That is Renewable Computing.

@pepemoonboy @daniel_koss I've been in $EOSE a few years, it's in a very strong position now. Highly recommend listening to the latest earnings call!

@daniel_koss Love it! Everyone saying EOSE 👀

Energy is clearly playing a huge role in the age of AI. Who do you think are the top 3 energy players for the new AI era? I need to load up on some energy plays.

@hypergrowth102 Mine too!

One of my favorite investors on X.

@moninvestor Agreed! I think Labs changes everything for $HIMS and sets it up for huge future growth.

$HIMS - I’ve added this stock back into my long-term portfolio. With the introduction of Labs, Hims has now entered the same membership-tier category as Amazon Prime and Costco. 👇

What an earnings season so far! Heavily adding to $EOSE $NBIS $IREN right now. Still waiting on a few more calls, but so far so good!

@jakebrowatzke Love it! Appreciate the insight and transparency. Hard to make calls like this at times, but worth it!

Yes, because it now even underperforms $HIMS in our model. I am turning left to go right. Selling small amounts so I can own even more of the company at a later date. While many of my moves will be incorrect and can look incredibly stupid in the short term as I do not believe I can predict short-term price movements, i strongly believe that if I continue to follow my strategy and compound my portfolio at two hundred percent per year, someday I may be able to own as much as 10% of $LMND.

Portfolio Update: Consentration is underway as I double down on my highest certainty returners over the next 3-5 years. Here's what our model (which will be wrong, but directionally correct) shows my top 4 positions will return within 5 years based on current valuation multiples and expected free cash flow growth: 1. $LMND - 3.1x (high certainty) 2. $PATH - 3x-10x (thesis in validation) 3. $FOUR - 5.5x (high certainty) 4. $ODD - 4.8x (high certainty) Here are our models' expected 5-year returns on stocks that didn't make the cut: 1. $MARA - 7x (low certainty with downside potential reliant on $BTC price) 2. $HNST - 4.1x (low certainty, potential value trap) 3. $FVRR - 4x (medium certainty, but shrinking marketplace & AI risk) 4. $HIMS - 3.2x (high certainty) 5. $ROOT - 1.8x-3x (medium certainty, huge competitive risk from $LMND, and large risk from robotaxis as a car only insurance company with no Tesla partnership). As always, I hope you guys appreciate the transparency, even if you do not agree with my moves or our models.
