I’m 20 and a student at UIUC. Started trading with $7,100 in my dorm room. Took losses. Stayed consistent. Studied every night. One year later: +371.29% portfolio growth. Documenting the grind and showing what’s possible when you actually lock in. 📈

normalize realizing that the whole cheat code to life is being insanely delusional and optimistic

Been watching $OUST quietly for a while and the market is genuinely sleeping on this one
just turned profitable for the first time ever, revenue doubled YoY, and Luminar literally just went bankrupt. their biggest competitor is gone. they're the last real Western lidar company standing and nobody's talking about it
analysts sitting at $40 price targets. Stock is at $22. that's not a small gap and none of this is even close to being priced in yet

@YodaStockInvest https://t.co/gl5l1TdO9v best tweet that kind of sums it up. It was all speculative at first, I can see them getting a deal with Nvidia in the next few months.

$LWLG just signed a deal with Tower Semiconductor ($TSEM).

Up 15% on the day. 20% after hours.

Here's why most people are still underestimating this:

LWLG isn't just a hardware company.

They're a Material + IP Royalty Licensing business like Qualcomm, but for photonics.

Every modulator built on Tower's PH18 platform using LWLG's polymer = royalty fees.

At scale, they're targeting 60%+ gross margins.

The TAM they're going after:

• AI Datacenters: $10B
• General Datacenters: $7B
• Telecom: $7B
• $24B total by 2028

And Tower ($TSEM) was already shown in LWLG's own investor deck as a target silicon photonics foundry partner.

This isn't random. This was the plan.

They currently have 3 customers in Stage 3 (prototype → production) and 15+ in earlier stages.

The Tower deal just turbocharged that pipeline.

Imagine a flashlight turning on and off 100 billion times per second.

That's what $LWLG's Perkinamine® polymer enables.

AI needs it.

@Ace_Incognito @futurist_lens Take a look at these companies MC. It’s just the beginning for these companies…

@AtifHussainOG Swing trading is easier when you know how to spot momentum early. Most people confuse it with gambling.

[Atif Hussain @AtifHussainOG]

If you want to become profitable asap, just swing trade.

It's way easier.

@Mr1CT Mentorship, strictly because capital fades, knowledge compounds.

@salmaogs Facts. Took me a minute to realize you don’t need the whole move to win — just consistency over perfection.

[Alex Collins @AlexOnStocks]

@AtifHussainOG Took me way too long to realize this. 4H keeps you patient, 15M gets you paid.

[Alex Collins @AlexOnStocks]

@sirrillahfx Looks like a lower-high forming after a failed breakout , I’m definitely leaning short unless it reclaims that previous resistance zone.

[Alex Collins @AlexOnStocks]

@AtifHussainOG Day trading burns your focus chasing every 1-minute move.
Swing trading builds it, waiting days or weeks for the setup to hit.
It’s literally patience vs. impulse.
I’ll take patience every time.

[Alex Collins @AlexOnStocks]

@admiral_kelvin This is exactly how I see it too. Trading isn’t just about profits, it’s about building a system that scales — just like a startup. The discipline is the business model.

[Alex Collins @AlexOnStocks]

@AtifHussainOG This is why I’m building now. I’m not tryna wake up one day realizing I traded my freedom for comfort.

[Alex Collins @AlexOnStocks]

@AtifHussainOG Fr. Trading forces that out of you; the discipline, the patience, the mindset. You either evolve or get wiped out.
