We're probably a few of days away from news stories about "White House planning victory parade"

We’re playing Bentley?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 No offense Bentley. But Bentley?😂😂😂

$SPX Last 4 Mondays closed green fyi.

@Nebraskangooner Hasn’t it sent already?

$BG Never did end up buying this one but it looks like it's going to send.

@AlgoXAustin This aged poorly

AGAIN... IF YOU WANT YOUR KIDS TO BE RICH. BUY $SPY CALLS RIGHT AT OPEN. LONG $ES RIGHT BEFORE OPEN. BUY $QQQ CALLS RIGHT AT OPEN.

@Nebraskangooner Where’s the next target?

$NVDA More like NVIDI-AHHHHHH!!

@IncomeSharks @WheelieInvestor Trump pumped it extending the deadline on Iran...time will tell what happens.

@WheelieInvestor Ignore after hour trading, it's absolutely useless. You can pump it with very little volume.

Can someone please explain why $QQQ is trading like this? Relentless selling then Gap up when the market closes

@ShardiB2 Not as much as Trump thought. AH is pretty flat.

And now markets go up again? 🙄

@Mr_Derivatives Missing $FLY at $4.4B. Up 16% today.

$SATL $BKSY $VOYG $RDW $LUNR $PL $ASTS $RKLB All the major space names to play while we wait for the soon to be SpaceX IPO day. My two favorites, ASTS and RKLB, despite recent pullbacks, still look pretty healthy on the charts. My boy Sun prefers SATL. Hell buy em all lol.

@fundmyfund insanity...looked last night and forgot about it today. What a move.

👉👉👉 "The best stocks basically come back to old highs within 1-3 days of dilution,." Well it was 1 day $DOCN 🔽

@Sam_Badawi You might as well stop posting any of these false reports. Can't believe anything that comes out of either government's X account.

JUST IN: IRAN'S ARAQCHI, MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, JUST SAID THERE ARE NO TALKS WITH THE U.S.

@kholov23 I'm part of your small audience. Problem is you literally post about everything!

Posted something for my small audience about $INFQ not a long time ago

@fundmyfund Nice call on $watt!

@crypdaddy yes I posted about it yesterday - $AAOI a bit too crazy in action right now for me

Position updates Continues to be a fun market for my style, in terms of mental stimulation. Happy with how handling March with the normal potholes any month brings. Directionally been dead on on overall mkt. 'Winds of change' call 1/23 and 'get into bear suit' 1/29. Just took churning and distribution of February to get to March. Went into year vowing to start making money on shorts - in past I just went to high cash and some occasional index shorts in times of trouble but thought we'd have a big correction this year after basically doubling of Oct 2022. Been a lot more exposed this year to that size. Currently have a lot of cash after this week, some stops, some reduces, some take profits. ------------------------ Long side - I didn't have a ton of large long trading positions coming into the week (6) but they are whittled down further (4). What remains in size are $FSLY $TNGX $AMPX $CRCL ; 2X ETF on the latter. I had $RCAT in size all month and it was my top position most of the month bringing in a good amount of profits - earnings mid week and I took a hit on Thu $RCAX . Went into it knowing that could happen but quickly reduced on break of the 9 ema and very heavy reduce on break of 21 ema. Exited the 2X ETF completely. I have legacy 27 LEAPs from Feb-Apr; these were bot in the $4s-$6s range and I'll exit those May 1st-ish to get the long term capital gains. Will be acquiring some new 27s (higher strike) and 28 LEAPs on bad days from here - "DCA"ing. The chart is broken near term so I wouldn't expect to be back in the name in size anytime soon barring miracle. It is coming off a 220% run in 4 months. $VELO was a major position - reduced late this week dramatically on the technical breakdown. Only have remaining Sep 26 calls bought when they were birthed; still up 60% on those but I sold some of those when the technical pattern broke too. Since there are no LEAPs I can't "DCA" per se as I don't have years to avoid decay but will get back into some Sep 26s on "very bad" days. That's all I have "big" coming into the week. ------------------- Medium size I have $WATT which I reduced Fri on the 23% spike. No clue why it spiked but thank you. I started $DOCN Fri - it is a beach ball I was playing around with $VCX Friday setting limit buy orders in the $90s and sales in the $100s and $110s and those all triggered a few round trips, so I built myself a bit of a position there and got some trading gains without even looking at it since the action was so wild and the bid ask so wide. So it's in the portfolio. I own this via @fundrise at $10s-$18s but that is not part of the main portfolio. $UMAC was in the mid tier here entering the week after its rise to Oct highs where I reduced, so it got smaller. Then it got hit late this week so went from smaller to really small. I have some 27 calls, looking to build that and 28 LEAPs on "bad days" - DCA. Another name I doubt will be a material part of the portfolio (common stock) at this time due to the damage Friday. --------------------- $LPTH is a 9% exposure (it started at 10% but I have capital appreciation since I began the position) in 28 LEAPs. Those were acquired low $10s and around $9 early Feb. I did sneak in a few Jan 27s Friday at the depths of the selling $10.30s. Been very patient; takes a lot of willpower to not make this a 40% position and walk away for 3 years. Will acquire more 27s on any "bad days". ----------------------- Everything else is is small or only in the portfolio for tracking purposes so I don't lose sight of it. I look at so many names a week I keep a small exposure to the names of highest interest. These could all go to zero and it wouldn't affect me. I don't look at these at all - when the charts improve I will scale any and all up. I added $UAMY $OSS to this bucket Friday (both charts awful now - $OSS turned tragic Fri); prior holdings include $KOPN $ONDS $EVLA $OPTX - all are very long dated call options aside $OPTX which doesn't have options. $VELO $UMAC have now entered this tier. Do plan to build $UMAC up to mid tier size in 27 and/or 28 LEAPs if we can get some heavy selling. ----------------------- Short book as of Friday 3:30 PMish when $IWM was something like -2.6% is the smallest its been in quite a while. I reduced index shorts $SPXS $SQQQ $TZA into that flush. I had a book of individual short positions 2 weeks ago (5 names) but it is down to $CGNX - that worked well on a few trips but Friday was disappointing as my longs got hit more than this name did. I would love to see a flush down Monday morning to get out of these names and I'd be on the opposite side i.e. $TQQQ rather than $SQQQ, $TNA rather than $TNA "for a trade" - that might be 3 days who knows. If we rally bigly Monday at the open we are just right back to the churn zone. I will "lag" on any straight up vertical rally Mon-Thu if that were to happen but I have nothing to make up for vs most trading accounts as I am positive for March vs being deep in a hole. ------------------- Names of interest that seem to be beach balls: $AKAM $NET maybe $CF $LXU ; those have war risk, will the algos sell them off when Trump relents; not sure. The photonics names finally took a hit Friday so have me more wary. Long term want to be in $AAOI - maybe go back to $AXTI. Watching things like $VICR $LASR $ALM - maybe $ICHR which has been holding its gap (Debbie Wasserman play) Eyes still on $KRMN - $KTOS seems weaker now with the offering. Maybe $PL if it holds its earnings gap; $BKSY seems to be 'ok'. Not much out there in terms of good charts ex oil

@ShardiB2 @LNMDad True...he said wait for the story to unfold. But he did not say buy at $26 :).

@crypdaddy @LNMDad He did not say it like that, he said he would wait but liked the story He actually was kind of positive on it but said people should wait, good enough!!

This is a huge move on $SWMR Getting it all back from yesterday.... KILLING myself for not adding more yesterday SHIT but thought we could see $15-$20 In one day a small company like this was in Barron's and featured on Cramer, crazy

@LNMDad @ShardiB2 Cramer said he wouldn't touch it on Mad Money. Was the buy signal!

@ShardiB2 Told you Round 2 yesterday 😃

@michaelsikand Also watched it go from $30 to $90 before buying like a fool. My question for you is who might be a competitor that we can buy? $AAOI can't have a stranglehold on this market can they?

I called $AAOI at $50. But I bought the bulk of my position in the $90s. It's because the explosive re-rating around this stock created an EVEN more asymmetric set up... One that any multi-bag trader can't ignore which is why you see other big accounts now talking about this stock too creating a decent little cult. And since the massive guidance from earnings, we got more thesis enhancing news recently that shows the raw power of this story defying a choppy macro. - $200M 1.6T order - Guidance increased at OFC - A CPO focused laser demo at OFC - And then yesterday a new $50M order for 800G If you don't know: $AAOI is a vertically integrated transceiver maker. Transceivers which convert electricity to light are a VERY hot commodity for data centers as copper hits a physical limit on data transmission speed past 800G. Every transceiver needs a laser, but few companies make them which is choking supply, and $AAOI fabs their own lasers, some of which in the USA, which makes them really special. Their market cap is way below $LITE and $COHR, though they have the potential to play in the same league. This is why $AAOI management is guiding to as much as a $5B revenue run rate by mid 2027. For context, they did ~$500M in 2025 revenue. That's the raw asymmetry as the mkt cap is only $8B. If you saw my GTC vlog, it's clear co-packaged optics is the future. Nvidia's SVP of Networking literally told me he dreams of LESS transceivers. They are a constant point of failure. The Coreweave CTO said this at an event I attended: “Like if there’s a day where I don’t have to hear about failed optics, I will be so happy.” But CPO is a $0 market. $AAOI is serving hyperscalers like Amazon and Oracle spending billions on this technology, NOW. There is no other solution. That's why I think $AAOI the most exciting photonics stock right now to play the insane AI capex in 2026 that will continue regardless of war. This is not the time to play speculative, pre-rev companies. It's the time to buy critical bottlenecks and let explosive revenue growth make you rich even in a crazy macro. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@Mr_Derivatives Ha...you win!

@crypdaddy YES!

$VCX going nuts. Is $ORBS next?

@fundmyfund You see the new 2X $AAOI, $AAOX? I figured you'd be all over that!

With the sales of $AMPX $CRCL today I am down to 2 of my original 'large trading positions' entering the week. I only had 4. Exited $VCX one of my medium positions; gloriously. Made $DOCN bigger today and started some semi cap equipment and photonics in their place but nothing as huge. In a healthy market I generally roll with 15-18ish (I am not counting the small stuff at bottom of portfolio like $KOPN which is just long term LEAPs I don't look at) Lots of cash and waiting to see some direction from the mkt.

@unusual_whales "MAY HOLD" -- this is just a joke of a post like everything that comes out of Trumps mouth. As a trader I guess I'm happy if it makes things go green. But not happy when the lies are exposed and we dump.
