Year to Date: 316.4%
From January 2026 into February 2026.
Reflection of my short term trades and longs:
Swing traded tax harvested stocks like $GLXY, $SMCI, and $IREN start of the year
Rode Venezuela stocks from Gold Reserve, $AVAV, to $CVX (calls) up
Bought into defense like $LPTH, $OSS, $AIRO after invasion from war + $ONDS “follow the leader” catalyst
Catalyst traded $INTC and timed earnings correctly.
Swing traded $CRDO off wire color change fears
Swing traded $MRVL after erroneous reporting on hyperscaler client losses
Got earnings right like $META
Portfolio margined into $NBIS and $CIFR on the major selloff to $70 and $11.
Swing trades things from $HOOD drop to $CRDO drop into recovery.
Bought Bitcoin dip to $73k and heavy margin on $62k into recovery
Recovery plays like $ETOR after selloff and ER helped.
Getting catalysts on companies like $RPI correct
Time lag arbitrages between Asian equities and European/US time zones.
IV expansion off $EWY and other indexes.
Timing rotation into power/grids like $XLU and currently swing trading stuff like $RDDT,
I’m sure I missed a bunch but these were the main ones I posted about!
On the side I would day trade:
Eg. $ORCL 8% selloff from offering into recovery or random 10% selloffs on immaterial $SOFI sellside downgrades.
I don’t post stuff like these on my main timeline since I don’t want to influence when people buy/sell.
Just want to give directional ideas and let people come to their own conclusions.
Aside from that I’m happy everything went up today, including my hedges.
This is all while my core long portfolio from:
-
Photonics and memory from SK Hynix to $AXTI to supply chain bottlenecks like $AEHR and $FORM have been mogging Burry’s $PLTR $415/year returns.
-
Longs from Korean/Japanese equities like Nittobo, Kioxia, and Unimicron have hard carried US equity drawdowns.
Not everything in my portfolio is green like $CRCL, $CPSH, $VLN, $NBIS or recently $INFQ.
But what matters is you have more concentration in green than red. This is all while SPY is YTD: .55% and most high beta stocks are heavily red YTD.
I also don’t want people to follow along everything since sector rotation, option arbitrage, and substrate bottlenecks are hard to digest. Since I also rotate around like 30 different stocks based on macro/earning catalysts, whereas most people focus on a few and hold on for years.
But it does hurt when more if get something wrong with short term drawdowns from Q4 2025 (if people bought short term options) and it’s only now recovered past cost average.
However, I’m extremely confident in core longs like $NBIS to strongly outperform in due time.
Hopefully people can take away one or two trade ideas that they find interesting or learn something!

Just some reflection, i think a reason for my recent popularity is I’m not trying to sell anything. This is also not my full time job (I run a tech company) and I was just doing this for enjoyment, so very surprised by the recent popularity.
I do think my edge is probably information synthesis and mapping -> discovering alpha markets missed -> into actionable long ideas across fintech and semis.
Compared to accounts that publish breaking news or excel in breakdowns of one or two specific stocks.
Regardless, I publish all my ideas for free just to get fulfillment if I can help others.
So it does bring me gratitude that people find my ideas interesting or high-signal enough to listen.
