$AAPL passes $GOOGL to become 2nd largest company globally:

Apple: $4.26 trillion
Google: $4.20 trillion

That's my personal signal to buy more Google.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

I don't like or dislike $SIVE:

The information discovery edge & forward bull narrative has been priced in:

Where Sivers makes a genuinely necessary component, InP external lasers that silicon can't replace, w/ four legit AI design-ins:

1. Ayar light source
2. $GFS reference design
3. $POET Optical Interposer ELS
4. $JBL 1.6T LRO pluggable module

That is the true, defensible bull case + it's not a mirage.

Further highlighted by:

- JP Morgan disclosed a ~5% stake
- index inclusions have happened
- multiple analysts now publish

But now:

You're essentially betting on Sivers' conversion.

I.e. will the design-ins turn into qualified volume revenue, and when?

The same story has repeated itself with hundreds of growth names over the years - $NVDA, $PLTR and early $GOOGL etc.

Sivers aren't an early stage start-up, and management have acknowledged huge, growing interest in the company now.

So the pressure should be on them to deliver volume ramps in accordance with widely porported timelines of 2027-2028.

Another collaboration announcement like $GFS wouldn't signal that, but it could definitely lead to another re-rate higher given their tiny MC.

But ideally, at some point soon, you do wanna see some sort of POs etc that confirms their $799M "opportunity" pipeline.

No idea when that happens given all the conflicting info this week on CPO timelines (SemiAnalysis, MS etc).

Imo, it's turned into a waiting game for Ayar / $JBL / $MRVL - which then go to ship to end customers like $AMD / $MSFT / $AMZN.

And what % of the TAM Sivers can secure given they all multi-source laser supply from other places like $COHR or $MTSI or $LITE - who are known to have laser shortages.

Will continue to hold my position - don't see any point in liquidating large % gains rn.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

May CPI:

-> Headline CPI: +4.2% y/y (in line)
-> Core CPI: +2.9% y/y (in line)
-> Core CPI m/m: +0.2% vs +0.3% exp

Softer Core (0.2% vs. 0.3% expected) lets the Fed/market frame inflation as an oil/Iran shock (60%+ energy driven), rather than broadening price pressure.

- So Fed rate hikes are less likely in short-term.

- Markets still price no cuts in 2026 + FOMC (June 17) is a near-certain hold under Warsh.

- A soft core gives the committee doves cover to frame the energy surge as transitory + keep the easing bias.

- In turn, acting as a relief rally trigger for growth names.

So today's print tilts the FOMC risk modestly dovish, which matters more for equity multiples than the CPI itself does.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

Helping you understand why names like $MU, $SIVE, and $AAOI are down sharply today:

Paradis Macro Report [June 9]:

-> Iran war, yields/rates, and upcoming macro catalysts.

Iran shot down U.S. Apache helicopter today while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz.

A confirmed US strike on Iran would:

Spike oil = Hit risk appetite = Worsen equity weakness.

Today, we already saw some violent factor rotation:

Momentum/growth -> Value/defensive

Highlighted by:
- $QQQ: -4.2% intraday
- $SPY: -2.7% intraday
- $DJI: flat

So, a very fearful / risk-off market right now, as seen by high growth names like $IREN, $AXTI and $LITE being down >10% today.

Yields have also jumped after the June 5 payrolls beat (US 10Y: 4.54%). Meaning that Fed futures are now pricing in a rate hike by end of yr.

Basically:

Higher real yields = valuation compression for long-duration growth/AI names.

(Long-duration because the value in AI equities sit in cash-flows years out)

Ultimately, all this favours value/financials over AI growth names, which are all unwinding simultaneously right now.

But directionally, AI supercycle names will all continue higher in the long-run, driven by huge hyperscaler capex.

In terms of upcoming macro catalysts:

1. US May CPI [Jun 10]:

A hot print (>4.2% headline) hardens the "Fed can't cut / may hike" narrative.

= yields up, $ up, more pressure on AI/growth multiples.

A soft core surprise would be the relief valve for chips.

= relief rally in AI names.

2. $ORCL Earnings [Jun 10]:

Strong RPO/capex execution = bullish for the entire AI supply chain (HBM, optical, packaging, networking).

3. FOMC [Jun 16-17]:

The statement language (does it drop the easing bias / call labour "solid" vs "moderating") and the dots will reset the Y/E hike vs cut debate.

A hawkish hold / hike-signaling dots = pressure on AI supercycle names.

Any dovish surprise = relief for AI supercycle names.

---

For inexperienced investors, I have advised countless times to avoid risky instruments such as options/leverage. Right now, with the current macro backdrop, stick to normal shares.

Personally, I have slowed down most dip-buying to let this macro uncertainty wash through.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

$CRDO up 25% since earnings release:

And high confidence in Credo re-rating higher alongside CPO TAM expansion.

By bringing SiPho in-house via the DustPhotonics acquisition, resulting in vertical integration where they own:

SerDes IP -> DSP -> SiPho PIC -> system integration -> telemetry.

All resulting in TAM expansion for: transceivers + LPO + CPO.

And since Credo's built on reliability (ZeroFlap, PILOT telemetry), that gives me more confidence that they'll do the same for CPO where the failure domain is much larger.

Especially because they're insulated from EML laser shortages that $LITE have rn:

Since DustPhotonics' L3C integrates optical functions onto a single PIC which uses CW lasers instead of scarce EMLs.

In turn:

Reduces laser count -> lowers thermal load -> improves yield -> cuts BOM cost at scale as port speeds advance beyond 800G.

Plus, it's super positive that DustPhotonics' SiPho PICs are already deployed in transceivers at hyperscale AI clusters + already in design for NPO & CPO.

- At OFC 2026 they demonstrated the full portfolio - 400G/800G ZeroFlap transceivers, 800G/1.6T optical DSPs.

- With a path to 3.2T where CPO becomes mandatory.

Meaning that Credo are expanding share of wallet w/ hyperscalers that already trust its reliability via AECs & ZeroFlap.

For a rough catalyst path:

-> FY2027 optical tracking to >$500M (H2 inflection)

-> NPO/CPO design wins (SiPho earnings)

-> 1.6T ramp and 3.2T roadmap progress

-> If scale-up goes optical on $NVDA NVL576 -> NVL1152 cadence (2027-2028), Credo's optical-engine TAM inflects.

Lots of moving parts with Credo + important to remember that CPO is for 2027 onwards.

And that the FY2027 optical number (>$500M) is mainly transceivers + DSPs (800G-led), with SiPho contributing via in-house PIC integration, not large standalone PIC revenue.

But to me, it seems like the market hasn't begun pricing in SiPho/CPO ramps yet.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

Fun times with $SIVE:

New $8.2M order from All Space for Sivers' BFICs.

Pretty huge order for 2027, since total Q1 2026 rev was just $6.7M.

And embeds $SIVE in the US defence ecosystem via $YSS pending acquisition of All Space.

Which will lead to more follow-on orders, likely of bigger size & scope.

However:

Personally, I don't see SATCOM as a long term growth driver for Sivers since SpaceX / $RKLB eat up TAM through vertical integration.

With Sivers collecting potential orders in the long tail of other Space related companies.

Just shows that CPO ramp is their highest optionality growth lever for 2027+ imo.

But good to see a potential financial inflection point coming next year, just via defence/Satcom POs alone.

Nice cataylst regardless.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

If anyone's curious on today's buys:

1. $GOOGL @ $362
2. $MU @ $900 (pre-market)
3. $SNDK @ $1,592 (pre-market)
4. $RKLB @ $113
5. $MRVL @ $276 (overnight)
6. $NOW @ $115
8. $INTC @ $100 (pre-market - very lucky timing in advance of $GOOGL TPU order announcement)

All are existing positions that I DCA'd on.

Also DCA'd on some other random names not on my mega-list like Infineon.

Tomorrow's priorities:
- SK hynix + Kioxia - obviously
- $SIVE + $NBIS - if they open down
- $CIEN - doing DD on their $2B covertible notes. Dip looks like an extreme overreaction imo.

---

Might not make this a frequent thing since I usually place quite a high volume of trades daily.

I also don't see the value this adds lol. But I keep getting asked to do something like this / a portfolio breakdown.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

$QCOM up 6.84% after hours:

$NVDA CEO Jensen Huang: "Qualcomm is doing a great job...Buy their stock."

How many of you paid attention to my bull thesis?

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

Thrilled to have crossed over 50,000 followers last week!

I have personally matched that total with a £50,000 donation to Action for Children.

They do fantastic work supporting vulnerable kids in the UK, helping them live happy and fulfilling childhoods.

As many you know, I personally support three key areas:
1. Youth homelessness
2. Child welfare & protection
3. Men's mental health

So far, together, we have supported 1 & 2.

Next time, we'll donate to one of my core mental health charities in the UK. Maybe at 75,000 followers, if I get there!

(DMs open for anyone struggling btw)

Thank you all for the support. It genuinely means a lot to me!

Thoughts:

Strong Buy:

GOOGL - $85B raise is dilutive but they actually have ROI on their capex. Tbh, they'll probably always be a Strong Buy for me. Just the cleanest AI ROI among all the megacaps.

MU / SNDK / SK Hynix - If you're not bullish on memory, then idk for you.

Buy:

AMZN - Mainly for AWS reacceleration + Trainium. But some tension comparing AWS growth (+17%) vs Azure (+31%). Feel like custom silicon + distribution combo is durable even if growth rate lags a bit.

AEHR - H2 ramp in WLBI/PLBI systems coming, anchored by "significant" follow-on Sonoma order from lead hyperscale customer. Just need to wait a bit esp. for rev to inflect. But AI ASIC burb in is mandatory as device power goes up.

AAOI - Q3 capacity ramp (via facility expansion in Texas) toward 650k+ 800G/1.6T units/mth. Capacity coming online is the catalyst imo along w/ already known laser bottleneck + Made in US premiums.

CIEN - Just a high quality biz that got pounded last week (-22%). Beat + raise earnings, but stock dropping this much is an overreaction. CEO even said demand is "structural, multi year and AI-driven" shown by AI-driven DCI being their fastest growing part of the order book as new long-haul routes get built for latency and bandwidth.

COHR - upcoming CPO ramp (Nvidia spectrum-x) will speed things up, these prices will look cheap when we look back imo.

CRDO - Personally bought a ton last week post-earnings drop. Like Ciena, v. high quality compounding hold through the whole AI supercycle. Crazy high margins. Obviously compete w/ Marvell/Broadcom on SerDes, but also need to factor in the 1.6T switch replacement cycle into late 2026.

DELL - Trump effect. I've learnt my lesson and will listen to him next time.

FN - v. low drama way to ride transceiver demand + iPronics sipho line for cpo. New datacom wins also extending into next FY, although some Nvidia conc. risks. Put them in Buy just to be generous as was unsure tbh.

FORM - Important for HBM, adv packaging and CPO for higher yields. Foundry test intensity only set to increase w/ production.

GLW - Lead glass core substrates which are an advanced packaging bottleneck. LTP w/ Nvidia to expand US optical manufacturing for AI infra too.

JBL - Stock has done nothing for a month, but earnings coming up could be a nice catalyst for a push higher from their DC infra segment growing + outpacing drag from legacy mobility/ev exposure / margin mix.

LITE - CPO ramp + Nvidia qualification like Coherent.

MDB - AI is not replacing them. Imo they win vs. bolt on vector stores since their architecture is so simple.

MRVL - going to $1T according to Jensen. Underlying business is solid though esp. w/ Celestial acquisition for photonics. SPY inclusion last week too is a big positive.

MSFT - Current valuations are a joke tbh, markets probs punishing some margin compression. Rev +18%, Azure +40%, AI run rate +123%. So, v. clear enterprise monetisation path. Will be buying next week in retirement account.

NBIS - Best neocloud by far. They're a $100B biz vs. ~$57B currently. Jensen: "Nebius will take care of you."

NOW - AI is not replacing them. No enterprise CEO/CTO is dumb enough to offboard them at this point.

NVDA - Same as Microsoft. Been buying this whole time, but am now even more confused at current cheap valuations.

RDDT - AI is not replacing them. Cash printer. ARPUs improving also in legacy segments like international.

RKLB - #2 in commercial launch after SpaceX + their IPO should re-rate the entire space comp set where RKLB is the main liquid proxy. Unbelievable earnings also, just executing so well rn.

SIVE - everyone on X knows at this point?

Hold:

ARM - current valuation prices in flawless execution imo. But their IP is growing in DC CPUs e.g. Nvidia grace, AWS Graviton etc.

ASML - Elon said yesterday: "ASML should be treasured and supported. It is arguably the greatest company in Europe." - I agree. Also Terafab fireside chat next week High-NA EUV is the next leg, locking in the roadmap through the decade. Could also be a "Buy" for more risk averse people.

AVGO - CEO didn't raise >$100B FY27 target + flagged that Google will multi-source. Current AI mix is also diluting margins slightly. Just needed a pullback before the thesis starts working again.

AXTI - InP substrate bottleneck, crucial for AI buildout rn. Could also buy rn, just a slow dca since they've run up a ton already + raise completed ($632M) to 2x InP capacity.

BE - SOFC winner imo (Ceres 2nd). Don't think it's a buy just yet due to some valuation vs. profitability gaps.

META - hold based on capital allocation mainly. Market seems wary of the ROI on their AI capex hence the continuous dips. Also potential raise to fund capex like Google too - once that digests, I'll personally look to buy.

MTSI - Big fan of their investment into $IQE since it de-risks operations a lot, but just think COHR/LITE are better options for 800G/1.6T transition.

PLTR - Relatively poor Risk:Reward at current multiples.

SOFI - rate sensitivity. Loan book + credit performance carry macro risk which caps conviction rn. Some positives though w/ young + growing member base. Would need to look at credit trends + Fed path in June FOMC to re-assess.

Avoid:

CBRS - avoid at current prices. Would want it to come down closer to ~$40B mc before I look to dca. Would love to hold since they own genuinely unique tech.

CRWV / IREN - Financing for both is a mess...debt/dilution. Nebius are just a better multi yr neocloud.

HIMS - Forced out of higher margin GLP1s into lower margin braded GLPs from Novo/Lilly. Feel like their moat was to do w/ regulatory arbitrage on compounding. With that gone, it's a customer acquisition + churn biz buying branded drugs at lower margin.

IBIT / BTC - Macro setup is hostile. Higher rates for longer (10Y ~4.54%, 30Y >5%) raise opportunity cost. Pure liquidity/risk appetite instrument + both are tight rn.

ETH - same as bitcoin.

MELI - personally a little confused - either a hold/avoid. Seeing some margin compression via their credit book growing faster than revenues. Talks of margin recovery next year, at which point the stock could re-rate.

SNAP - Absolute worst social media app + CEO is a weirdo. Platform keeps losing share to Meta/Tiktok.

TSLA - Huge competition from other EV makers shown by production > deliveries volumes. Humanoids will be their next key growth driver, just a little while away.

SPCX (SpaceX) IPO: I never personally participate in IPOs + SpaceX specifically is way too overvalued for me. Will be going long eventually though. Rough ballpark would be ~$1.5T if it gets there post IPO.

---

Just for very high level notes at current stock prices (NFA).

I'm personally staying long despite the current macro backdrop, mainly in AI supercycle names e.g. memory, semis etc.

But then you also have great companies at depressed prices, mainly in SaaS which I'm DCA'ing currently.

I don't hold positions in all of these names. This is just a subset that overlaps my "Close Tracking" list + X's favourite names.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

Probably best to stay long guys:

$NVDA CEO Jensen Huang:

"Everything across the supply chain...is in shortage"

Memory, wafers, advanced packaging, SiPho, and cable connectors.

Diamond hands.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

Just to ease some market anxiety:

All of the high quality AI stocks will go higher over the next few years:

E.g. $NVDA, $TSM, $AMD type names that are all cemented in multi-year theses.

Hyperscaler capex going up massively = these supply chain names will benefit.

For a 30,000 ft view, it's that simple.

So, diamond hands strategy:

Just chill + buy more steadily on these dips if you can.

If not, then I most certainly would not realise any losses/profits rn, since no one knows how the market will react short-term.

Unless...you're so emotionally charged rn e.g. if you bought at the top. Then you may wanna take some money off the table if it'll give you some relief.

But, be honest with yourself:

If you're owning high beta stocks like $SNDK, $MU, $SIVE, $AAOI etc. for a quick momentum trade...then the reason you owned them is probably now broken?

For a TLDR on upcoming macro catalysts:

-> CPI (June 10): inflation -> rates -> valuation multiple channel

-> FOMC (Jun 16-17): Hawkish = maybe favour EPS compounders & bottlenecks over story stocks. Dovish surprise = re-risk the broader SOX.

-> $MU (Jun 24): reaffirming sold out status, locked pricing & guidance raise all de-risk the broader memory thesis.

So if you decide to take come capital off the table rn, I'd wait until these macro events incl. IPOs e.g. SpaceX have been fully digested by the market.

No idea when the bottom will be in...mechanical selling (CTA, VaR, momentum, short-gamma) can run from days to weeks. And can overshoot fundamentals.

---

Just a v. v. high level framework for beginners mainly.

I would also definitely avoid leverage/options type products rn too unless you're an expert trader.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

https://t.co/TK9ccSOmVk

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

Confused why people like $BRUN ...

Very confused:

-> 1. They own basically nothing.

Most of asset based is borrowed.

GPUs are leased + DCs are rented colocation i.e. it's not their power.

Some theses cites "125 MW capacity" - which is mostly owned by other people where they simply have the right to use.

It's just marketing PR, including sites still in progress.

-> 2. What is their product exactly?

Bare metal i.e. what $CRWV are good at.

And they don't even have faith in it alone: like, they're building software layers in-house + inference integrations.

So Coreweaves own product roadmap just admits that undifferentiated bare metal has no terminal value?

$BRUN sells the bottom layer only w/ $250k of capitalised software, in rented colo.

Even Coreweave is racing to build up the stack cos bare metal alone has no staying power.

Meaning $BRUN is starting where the leaders are trying to leave.

So customers get nothing they can't get from other providers.

Which means their only competitive lever is price...forever?

From their official filings: "the customer assumes full control over the equipment… We do not retain operating rights."

Under GAAP, that describes a leasing company.

So they're essentially closer to forklift rental than to Nebius or Coreweave neoclouds imo.

-> 3. Idle GPUs during worst GPU shortage ever

This is incredibly damning imo.

"We also utilize excess GPU compute on our platform for blockchain rewards."

Excess compute....in this day and age?

~21% of FY 25 rev came from pointing unused GPUs at crypto token networks.

Which follows onto the next point.

-> 4. Customer book is basically adverse selection

Rev mix is weird: A GPU broker (Fluidstack), crypto token networks + Thinking Machine Labs backlog.

I do like TML since I've had some good experiences w/ some of their team, but cmon, they're a pre-rev startup.

Customers w/ options went to Nebius/Coreweave + the hyperscalers.

$BRUN got the leftovers, and will continue that way imo.

-> 5. Funding concerns

$DELL commitment of $1.44B vs. ~$90M raised cash.

Every GPU of expansion requires someone else's balance sheet, in a sector where lenders + OEMs underwrite scale which they don't have.

And the recent history: in Feb they borrowed $11M for $9.95M net i.e a $1.05M discount on a ~2-month loan.

in an amendment that included "a waiver of certain existing defaults." They were in default on their bridge loan ~10 weeks before the Nasdaq debut.

So there's no retained earnings cycle + their model is just basically dependent on external generosity.

-> 6. Fixed costs + variable rev + no pricing power

Lease + Dell obligation are locked in for yrs.

You could view it as positive, like many on X have.

But you're not factoring in that rental rates are set by the mkt + have no cost advantgae vs scaled companies.

Functionally they've sold a multi yr put on GPU rental rates while owning no product or service that has the ability to go up in price.

-> 7. Being on $NVDA Exemplar list means very little imo.

Other neoclouds on the list all got Nvidia investment e.g. $CRWV, $NBIS, Lambda, Crusoe.

But nothing for $BRUN ...

And Nvidia literally writes cheques to any + every company lol.

This whole point is hardly a factor to go long just cos their tech has been validated/certified. Investment by Jensen would've been valid though.

but this somehow forms the basis of most theses on here.

---

Just confusing why you'd wanna allocate capital here vs. so many quality companies in the market rn.

And feels like all of you are bullish lol, sorry. Happy to change my mind in future.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

I'm buying today's dips in all my AI names like $SNDK, $AAOI, $NBIS etc.

Nothing's changed with AI related stocks.

But for context on why today's a deep red day:

-> Nonfarm payrolls increased by 172k jobs in May Vs. 85k consensus.

-> So overall less layoffs in the economy = tightening labour market.

-> Tight labor market = zero urgency for the Fed to cut rates.

-> plus energy inflation from Hormuz standoff = Fed can't cut anyway.

Then ofc yields spiked on the jobs data release.

And when yields rise, the longest duration assets in the market reprice first

That's AI:

w/ AI names like $MU, $NVDA, $LITE etc:

Pretty much all of the value sits in future earnings / cash flows.

so...higher discount rate, lower present value = downward re-rating.

Just keep in mind that nothing fundamental w/ the AI trade has changed at all.

Like, $AVGO even confirmed a few days ago that supply is secured through 2027 to support next yrs rev forecasts.

And we all know hyperscalers like $GOOGL are funding AI capex aggressively rn. Which is the whole crux of the supercycle.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

You need to be more bullish on $SNDK, $MU, SK hynix & Samsung...

Semiconductor Market Forecast (WSTS):

-> 2026: $1.5 trillion (+90% YoY) - due to memory demand
-> 2027: $1.9 trillion (+27% YoY) - mainly memory-driven again

-> Memory forecast:
2026: $800B (+250% YoY)
2027: $1.1 trillion (+32% YoY)

I don't see a viable situation rn where memory slows down.

Huge demand + supply shortage = pricing power = rocket fuel.

-> Also in 2027:

Optoelectronics: accelerating 5% growth to $46.4B (vs. 2.7% fcst in 2026).

Includes some of your favourite photonics names like $LITE / $COHR / $AAOI / $SIVE at chip level.

And $IQE / $AXTI at substrate level.

Always good to see other data sources + forecasts to backup overall bullishness.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

So glad to see British tech like $RPI get some love:

+21.1% today after releasing H1 2026 earnings note:

-> H1 EBITDA: $38M (+96% YoY)

-> FY EBITDA forecast was $43.7M - so well on track to beat that.

Key driver is $RPI were holding 2025 DRAM inventory, purchased at lower costs vs. current prices.

Their DRAM inventories are expected to be depleted in H2...so could see some margin erosion coming up.

So this current EBITDA/stock price pump looks to be mainly timing related, rather than higher sales volumes.

Regardless, imo they'll still be able to secure inventory even w/ the booming demand rn since they've got existing memory relationships.

Which'll be mainly funded via debt = rising leverage = potential yellow flag for future earnings.

And I don't see a route where higher volumes can offset higher DRAM costs tbh.

For quick maths: they'd need to roughly ~2x H1 volumes (4M) to match current EBITDA levels.

---

Personally view this as a good point to take some profits, given the potential upcoming margin erosion via higher DRAM costs.

NFA ofc.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

My earnings tier list:

1 month returns:

S Tier:
$SNDK: +31.4%
$GOOGL: -7.2% (due to $80B capital raise)

A Tier:
$AMD: +28.1%
$PLTR: +3.6%
$META: +3.1%
$ARM: +85.0%

B Tier:
$AMZN: -6.3%
$MSFT: +1.9%

C Tier:
$AAPL: +8.3%
$MELI: -12.6%

F Tier:
$CRWV: -16.0%

Directionally, overall I'd say it's a positive read-through of earnings + broader environment. Small sample size ofc.

Apple being up 8.3% is the most surprising one tbh. Probably because they're getting included in the AI trade now via new Siri features / AI agents running on Apple hardware.

Amazon being down 6.3% is quite abnormal too. Macro headwinds e.g. higher rates + some institutional selling are the factors that come to mind.

CoreWeave...lol.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

Just an observation:

What's with everyone jumping in on trending stocks?

A couple of weeks ago it was $FCEL & $PENG

This week it's been $BRUN & $XFAB

Now it's gonna be $RCAT

No one even mentions $FCEL or $PENG anymore apart from a tiny subset of long-term bulls.

I personally find it all pretty strange. Maybe even a little concerning.

[Paradis Labs @ParadisLabs]

List of your recommended stocks for me to research:

Mentioned by many people:

1. $BRUN
2. $SHMD

Mentioned by more than one person:

3. $LASE
4. $IPWR
5. $SHT

Will look into 1 & 2 as a priority.

Then 3-4 if I have spare time over the next few weeks.

Wasn't a fan of $SHT when I looked into them due to excessive dilution risk, but I can potentially revisit again.
