[TAPE Vector @Tape_Vector]

I started investing with $20,000.

This was all the money me and my wife saved in 10 years.

My first stock was $LMT.

I bought around $200.
Price dropped.
I got scared.
I sold for around $10 loss.
I thought this is not for me.
A few weeks later I tried again.
I bought $BABA.

Same thing.

In 2018, in Romania, I had a poor relationship with money.

I did not understand risk.
I did not understand volatility.
I did not understand business quality.
I did not understand market cycles.

So I started reading.

Warren Buffett.
Benjamin Graham.
Adam Khoo.
The Intelligent Investor.
Investing for Dummies.
Every investing book I found.

Then I started building my own system.
A system for finding stocks.
A system for reading charts.
A system for buying weakness.
A system for holding when the thesis is alive.
A system for selling when the risk changes.
I made bad decisions.
$WYFI, bought $32, sold $18.
$HIMS, bought $35, sold $20.
$AUR, bought $6, sold $4.
$MDAI, bought $2.30, sold $1.90.
$ARBE, bought $2.20, sold $1.90.
$IREN, bought $60, sold $51.

I also sold too early.

$NBIS at $150.
$BABA at $135.
$OKLO at $110.
$ORCL at $125 before price went near $300.

But I also found serious opportunities.
$META at $101.
$AMZN at $83.
$GOOGL at $85.
$COIN at $34.
$MARA at $3.34.
$MSTR at $135 before the 10 for 1 split.
$NVDA at $139 before the 10 for 1 split.
$PLTR at $21.
$ARM at $101.
$RKLB at $23.
$TSM at $64.
$AMD at $58.
$BABA at $64.
$NU at $3.70.
$IONQ at $7.53.
$OKLO at $17.90.

My road was not clean.
I lost money.
I sold winners too early.
I bought some wrong names.
I got scared more than once.

But the good decisions were bigger than the bad ones.

Now my main account is up almost 300% in 5 years.
I am still learning.
I am still improving.
I still make mistakes.

This profile is where I will show how I think as an investor and swing trader.

No fake certainty.
No perfect record.
No theory without skin in the game.
Only process, charts, companies, entries, exits, mistakes, and lessons.

1/5

I like $AMBQ for more than the chart.

The business numbers are what first caught my attention.

Roughly $2B market cap.

Gross margin near 50%.

No debt.

Total equity up around 200% year over year.

Q1 2026 revenue and gross profit both grew around 60%.

The company is still burning cash and is not yet profitable.

That risk is real.

But in a market that prices future execution, the financial profile deserves attention.

@rahbar_rod Yeah totally agree, also a legged stock in a booming industry can follow its peers

Stock Specific Strength List update

204 stocks are showing strong stock level relative strength without equally strong theme confirmation.

Today’s list is cleaner because it reflects the latest complete Market Strength Radar read.

Industrials are the largest pocket with 38 names.

Consumer discretionary follows with 19, materials with 18, health care with 14, and communication services with 13. Aerospace and defense and consumer staples each contribute 11.

Strong examples include $DKI, $SIF, $ABSI, $BB, $VPG, $NNBR, $SAFX and $LASR.

The sector spread is broad, but relative strength is concentrating most clearly in industrials.

These are stock specific leaders worth chart review, not buy recommendations.

The stock is acting well.

The broader theme still needs confirmation.

My next step:

Open the charts
Check structure and location
See whether the stock can hold without theme support
Remove weak or extended setups
Research only the best charts
Decide based on confirmation

The dashboard tells me where to look, not what to buy.

@seahorse_anton Where did I stumbled?

[TAPE Vector @Tape_Vector]

@TheBigBerbowski Agreed, it’s a mystery for me also, but I think the explanation it’s that it is going down with the photonic sector, just because it has a photonic division.

5/5

My read:

I like the business.

The growth is real.

The margins are strong.

The balance sheet is clean.

But the company is still unprofitable and still burning cash.

The chart also has strong structure, but the current entry is not clean.

No new entry.

No add.

Watch the support hold or wait for accepted breakout above the range.

A good company can still be a bad current buy.

Evidence first.

Valuation second.

Entry last.

4/5

Current technical map:

Support: 81.2 to 83.3

Deeper support: 73 to 77

First reassessment area: 86 to 89

Major resistance: 89.4 to 91.6

A controlled hold of 81.2 to 83.3 could create a small starter setup if the daily chart reclaims the mid 80s and the 2D confirms.

The cleaner full swing trigger is 2D acceptance above 89.4 to 91.6, followed by a successful retest.

Until then, the chart remains blocked.

@gulVasikova thanks for the update, holding $ONDS

[TAPE Vector @Tape_Vector]

@gulVasikova I have some names under 5 that could go great in the near future, but I can't decide on something and $EOSE is one of them
