Looking for a new investing account to follow?
Why not me?
These are just a few of the positions I got into before they took off. I post my research, entries, and stock ideas in real time not after the move happens.
Follow along if you want to see what I’m watching next. Plenty more opportunities to come.

$AAOI is now trading near 2x mid-2027 ARR. Don't be fooled by the volatility due to the KOSPI panic, BofA FUD, deleveraging events, or whatever reason you can think of that led to the market selloff today.
Everyone's selling $COHR today. NVIDIA bet $2 BILLION they're wrong.
$COHR dropped about -10% down to $386, and while the crowd panics, I'm seeing the best buying opportunity in months.
Let me explain why.
$COHR makes the lasers and optical parts that move data around inside AI data centers. Think of them as the nervous system of AI.
As these data centers get bigger and hungrier, all that information has to travel faster and faster, and optics is the only way to do it at scale. That's not a trend, that's a requirement.
The business is firing on all cylinders. Last quarter they pulled in record revenue of $1.8B, up 21% in a single year, and their profits jumped more than 50%.
These aren't promises or projections, this is real money already hitting the books.
Then there's the big one. NVIDIA is investing $2 BILLION into $COHR.
When the most important company in all of AI decides to pour billions into your supplier, that tells you exactly where this is heading.
On top of that, they just secured U.S. government CHIPS funding to massively expand their Texas factory, quadrupling how many chips they can make.
More capacity means more sales for years to come.
And remember, this stock is up roughly 377% over the past year.
One red day does not undo a story this strong. It just hands patient investors a discount that won't last.
Smart money buys when others are scared. I'm adding here.
CXL IS ABOUT TO GO MAINSTREAM. $PENG ALREADY BUILT IT.
I'll keep this simple.
Everyone talks about AI needing faster chips. But there's a quieter problem nobody outside the industry talks about: the chips can now think faster than the memory can feed them.
It's the data center version of a sports car stuck in traffic.
That traffic jam has a name. People in the industry call it the memory wall.
And the most promising fix is a technology called CXL.
Think of CXL as a new kind of express lane. It lets processors and memory share data far faster, and lets a whole data center pool its memory together instead of wasting it in isolated pockets.
Here's the part most people don't realize.
$PENG, through its SMART Modular brand, is already a real player here.
Earlier this year their CXL memory module passed official industry compliance and got listed by the CXL Consortium itself.
That's not a press release promise. That's a product that actually works and is recognized by the people who set the standard.
This matters because AI's memory problem only gets bigger from here.
Bigger models, more data, more pressure on exactly the bottleneck CXL is built to solve.
And $PENG isn't a story stock waiting on a dream.
It already does over a billion dollars in revenue a year, with the stock running from around $16 to the high $60s over the past year.
A real business, with real sales, sitting in front of one of the biggest shifts coming to AI infrastructure.
When CXL goes mainstream, you want to already own the company that helped build it.
$18 TO $160 IN A YEAR, AND $AAOI IS STILL JUST GETTING STARTED.
I've been bullish on $AAOI for a long time, and I'm going to keep buying every single dip, because the market still doesn't understand how undervalued this is.
Here's the thing nobody explains simply.
AI runs in massive data centers, and inside those buildings the chips have to talk to each other at insane speeds.
$AAOI makes the optical parts that move that data. Light through glass, not electricity through copper.
It's the plumbing the entire AI buildout depends on. Every new data center that gets built needs more of exactly what this company makes.
And the orders are not a maybe. They're already signed.
One major customer alone has placed over $200 million in transceiver orders. Revenue just hit a record for the fifth quarter in a row.
The company now expects to do more than a billion dollars in sales this year. A year ago it was a fraction of that.
They're not just hoping demand shows up.
They're racing to build for it, expanding manufacturing to around 900,000 square feet and planning to grow laser capacity by roughly 350% to keep up.
Think about what that tells you. You don't pour money into that much new capacity unless your customers are already lined up out the door.
Wall Street is finally catching on. Price targets have been ripped higher across the board, some now well above $200.
This stock has already gone from under $20 to over $160 in a year, and demand is expected to outrun supply all the way into 2027.
When the supply can't keep up with the demand, the company making the supply is exactly where you want to be.
Every dip is a gift. I'm buying.
THEY GOT THE BRAINS BUT THE REAL SHORTAGE WAS MEMORY.
Everyone's obsessed with the companies that make AI's "brains."
Almost nobody talks about the part that feeds them: memory.
$DRAM is the first fund built purely around that bottleneck.
AI data centers are starving for memory chips. The more powerful the AI, the more chips it needs to run fast, and there aren't enough to go around.
When something is scarce and everyone wants it, the price goes up. That's what's happening to memory right now, and the companies that make these chips have more pricing power than they've had in years.
This fund bundles the small handful of companies that dominate that supply into one ticker.
So instead of guessing which single company wins, you're betting on the whole chokepoint the entire AI industry has to pay to get through.
The biggest cloud companies on earth are spending hundreds of billions on AI buildouts this year, and a huge slice of that has to go toward these exact chips.
What used to be a boring, up and down commodity is becoming one of the most important strategic resources in tech.
$DRAM launched at $28 in early April and now trades near $78, one of the fastest-growing funds in history.
The brains got the attention. The memory got the demand.
@TeeCryptic Honestly I got to impatient. I was dumb I saw all these fancy new IPOs coming out and wanted to try options which I kind of got killed on them. Sometimes you got to live and learn and with this situation I definitely did.
No crazy deep dive post here just want to say I bought $BFLY for my first stock ever.
To see it go up 52% today is nuts, unfortunately I sold about a year ago.
I rebought it during the come up today and think after hours will be huge.
I don’t know if I should be proud of how this blew up or jealous that I knew yet missed out on it blowing up.
Hoping for a big after hours though glad to be back in with that stock a real full circle for me.
