The best investors in the world are no longer on Wall Street.
They’re on X.
Posting their research, their thesis, their due diligence...
Meanwhile, institutional money is stuck chasing the same crowded trades.
We track the independent investors outperforming the market.
BREAKING: Marvell Technology, $MRVL, extends gains to over +45% in 2 days after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says it could become the "next trillion-dollar company."
That's +$90 BILLION in market cap since Jensen Huang's comment.
Is this the future of investing?
3 weeks ago I created a new portfolio that invests based off the top investors callouts.
The more investors are in a stock, the more money it invests into that stock.
Today the portfolio is up 10%...
I don't do research...
I don't touch the portfolio...
All I do is run a cron job once a day that:
1) Sweeps investors callouts on X
2) Feeds that data to an LLM to calculate the position sizing
3) Executes the trades on my brokerage account
Lmao feels like anyone can beat the S&P these days.
Shoutout @Kaizen_Investor for his great advice.
Feels like it was only a couple weeks ago when I followed @ParadisLabs and he had only 900 followers, now he’s at 50,000!
Makes sense because he is the most active investor on X and it’s not even close. Always replying and giving constant updates and insights into the market and his strategies.
He is the definition of an investor who’s ‘tapped in’
Thank you for everything you do and congrats on 50k! @ParadisLabs
📅 Set your reminder. June 4: The PDT rule will be eliminated, and the $25,000 minimum account balance requirement will officially end.
What it means for you: We will be wiping all past PDT flags clean. Soon, customers will be able to trade on Robinhood without worrying about day trading limits again.
Time for my monthly portfolio update.
MTD performance: +40.4%.
YTD performance: +97.8%
I made a couple of trades this month. Bought some $WOLF and $FLNC in the beginning of the month and sold my $TMDX shares. My cash allocation is around 11.6% at the moment. Unless I found some great new additions, I see my building up a bit of cash at the moment (just by saving my income, not by selling).
A deeper dive into the performance, the allocation is without my 11.6% cash at the moment and the performance is the monthly performance.
1. $PL (+44%): Planet did not only broke above the $40, but also now notes steadily above the $50. They report earnings next Thursday (04/06) and I'm really looking forward to this one. Last quarter was great and their forecast was rather conservative. I think we are in for another great quarter. I always said we can see the stock moving to $60 before year end, and that is still my target. I will do a separate post of what I expect during earnings.
2. $RKLB (+75%): Rocket Lab surged on some great earnings this month. The stock was only up 10% YTD before the earnings, now up 89%. Stock was only up 10% because of the rising concern of the competition of SpaceX, last quarter rklb proved they should not be scared of the competition and there is room for both them and SpaceX. Space had an excellent month and I expect the space to keep accelerating.
3. $OUST (+77%): I always said Ouster is a $40 company but it would take time. Earnings exactly proved this and the stock dropped 20% towards $24. Two weeks later, Ouster is now trading at $46. LiDAR has gained more popularity in the last couple of weeks and investors gained trust that Ouster will deliver. I keep my shares as I think Ouster is a stock for the long-term, but for me, not in buy territory any more.
4. $PLTR (+13%): Palantir has long been my number 1 stock. Down almost 25% for the highs, Palantir is hoping to end a rough stock pricing period. Earnings are still exceptional though. Accelerating revenue growth Year on Year is impressive and on top of that they are making the commercial side more important. They are not entirely dependent on defensive contracts any more. Still my favorite AI software play.
5. Sk Hynix (+77%): I should have bought way more SK Hynix 3months ago (+114%). I decided to sell my $ASML shares (+13% in 3 months), to buy SK Hynix but should have poured more money into the company. Hynix and memory is still immensely undervalued imo, investors are still rerating them from cyclical product to a core AI bottleneck.
6. $AMPX (-3%): Down 34% due to not spectacular earnings, the company crawled back the last two weeks. The long-term view on Amprius is just too bullish, drones are an important part of our future and Amprius is providing the best quality batteries for them. They are also improving on the non-drone sectors like eVTOL, robotics, and space.
7. $IREN (+47%): My highest cost allocated stock in portfolio. Have been a bag holder for a long time but now +-30%. Datacenters are needed and IREN is perfectly positioned to proved Hyperscalers exactly what they need. It's still waiting on a new deal for Iren but it is just a question of when instead of if.
8. $MRVL (+29%): Posted great earnings this month. But as the stock already doubled since March, Marvell did not move too much. Marvell is in the center of everything that is related to photonics. They got a healthy balance sheet to do the right acquisitions and management proved to be very capable of pushing Marvell to a next level.
9. $ASM.AS (+28%): I got ASM International longest in portfolio of all my stocks. ASM manufactures advanced wafer processing equipment used in the fabrication of semiconductor chips. I use the stock as a safe heaven in my portfolio. It have been a great year for them though and the stock has proven to be quite cyclical. If they move to my €1.000 target, it can be that I will sell for now.
10. Filtronic (+42%): Dropped 20% from ath due to less than expected CapEx from SpaceX, the stock still performed very well. Filtronic build the E-Band GaN Amps for SpaceX and they have a research collaboration with SpaceX to move to other frequencies as well. I they succeed, I'm sure Filtronic will move up my portfolio quickly.
11. $WOLF (+111%): Working away debt, a bullish SiC report of the BoA and price targets exceeding $80, helped wolf to double this month. The stock is moving into a very volatile period as some investors are looking to lock in some profits. But institutions who keep buying the stock, are keep pushing the stock higher. Long-term outlook is very bullish for Wolfspeed.
12. $FLNC (62%): Down 30% after the earnings peak due to the owners who will sell a big stake in the company. When a company like Fluence gets too big, it needs to live it's own live. This happens all the time, ASML is a perfect example of a company that got sold by the owners. Fluence posted great earnings though. The battery manufacturer secured two contracts with Hyperscalers. They did not give too much details during earnings but next quarters should be crucial for the company.
13. $GOOGL (+3%): Nothing spectacular here. Alphabet already doubled in the last year. I think the company can become the most valuable company in the world at a certain moment. They own parts of SpaceX, Ast Spacemobil, Planet Labs, Anthropic,... Own Youtube, Waymo, have TPU's,... It looks like Alphabet is in everything they need to be at the moment.
14. $HIMS (+0.87%): With the AI hardware wave in full glory, pharma companies like HIMS stay under the radar. Pharma still got the biggest growing TAM outside of AI and HIMS is ideally positioned to profit from this wave. I only have a 3.7% allocation at the moment, but I might be looking to add to this allocation in the future.
I'll stay transparent with all the moves I make on this page.
Feels like this is a growing problem on X.
How can we verify which investors are actually pulling the returns they post?
How much is really hiding behind the screenshots?
I reckon there are some investors in X with 10k, 20k, or even 100k+ followers who are negative on their total portfolio returns.
Looks like I don’t have to work anymore.
I’m going to get A LOT hate for this post.
That’s fine.
Let me say something nobody on FinTwit has the courage to say out loud.
A large percentage of the “investors” you’re following on here don’t have the net worth they claim.
I won’t name names. But I’ve done the math on some of these accounts.
The position sizes, the entry points, the claimed returns. The numbers don’t add up.
Let me be clear:
+100% returns are possible. I’ve had them.
But they are NOT normal. They are NOT repeatable every quarter.
And when someone is posting +100%, +200%, +300% consistently with zero drawdowns, zero losses, zero doubt, that’s not investing. That’s a narrative.
Here’s the actual business model most of you are funding:
→ Build hype → grow followers → convert to paid subscribers → invest the subscription revenue → repeat
You are not following a millionaire investor.
You are funding one.
The “gains” are the content.
The portfolio IS the subscriber base.
The lifestyle you’re admiring? You’re paying for it directly.
Real millionaires don’t need X.
They don’t need your $49/month.
They do not care if you follow them or not. I promise you.
What you’re actually looking at in 90% of cases: someone under 26, fluent in AI tools, who figured out that follower growth → subs → income is a more reliable business than actual stock picking.
That’s not an insult. It’s a legitimate model.
But know you know what you’re buying into.
The tell and this is where pattern recognition matters is the psychology.
They don’t need to be right to feel safe.
The ego-driven ones?
Every bad call is “the market’s fault.”
Every criticism is a “hater.”
The position never changes because the position is their identity, not their portfolio.
That FRAGILITY is the signal.
I’m not writing this to tear anyone down.
I’m writing it because some of you are making real financial decisions based on people playing a completely different game.
There are genuinely BRILLIANT people on here.
Follow the ones who show losses as readily as gains. Follow the ones who change their mind when the data changes.
Everyone else look a little closer before you hand over your trust. Or your money.
Stay sharp.
PS. Yes, the picture is fake. I made it. With AI.
Took me 30 seconds. That’s how easy it is.
I’ll be back at work again Monday, for now.

@BlackPantherCap Completely agree!
Feels like there needs to be some way to verify these investor returns, especially in the age of AI and photoshop.
Great post BP 🫡
