$LWLG: The Next $POET? Photonics Breakthrough with 100x Potential
$POET Technologies Inc(POET)$ spiked from $1 to $16 so far in 2 years. But, no one is focused on $Lightwave Logic, Inc.(LWLG)$ at $12 right now. 4 insane reasons why this can break $100+ quickly: 1. They own the material that makes light move faster. Lightwave Logic's Perkinamine EO polymers can modulate data at speeds lithium niobate and indium phosphide physically can't match. When the industry hits the wall on 1.6T and pushes to 3.2T, LWLG's polymer becomes the only viable path forward. First-mover in a market with no real competition. 2. 4 Fortune 500 companies are already in Stage 3 design-wins. Stage 3 means they're past proof-of-concept. These are real qualification cycles with real hyperscaler sup

The Orchard Gets a Bit Wild: Apple’s Reinvention Might Reprice the Tree
From Metronome to Maverick The transition from Tim Cook to John Ternus feels, to me, like swapping a world-class conductor for a lead guitarist. Both can produce brilliance, but one is measured in precision and tempo, while the other occasionally leans into controlled chaos and sees what happens when the amp goes a little too far. For years, Apple Inc. has behaved like that conductor-led orchestra: perfectly timed, obsessively disciplined, and almost unnervingly consistent. Under Cook, $Apple(AAPL)$ became the market’s most reliable profit engine—less a growth story in the traditional sense, more a compounding machine disguised as a consumer tech company. That consistency is exactly what justified a premium valuation. When investors pay over 30 ti
My Analysis for Next Week: Tech Earnings, AI Monetization, and the CapEx-to-Revenue Shift
The NASDAQ had a solid session on friday, climbing about 255 points (just over 1%). Momentum in tech remains strong, and the conversation with clients has shifted noticeably from late last year. The big question now isn’t just whether companies are spending on AI infrastructure—it’s whether that massive CapEx is finally translating into real monetization, and whether those gains are spreading beyond the usual Big Tech suspects. We’re already seeing early signs of that spread with names like $Intel(INTC)$ and $Cisco(CSCO)$ , and the market is actively debating the “Software-as-a-Goose” trade after moves in ServiceNow and others this week. Next week is going t
Scaling Into Size: A Smarter Way to Build Concentrated Positions
You don't have to go 100% "all in" a single stock, but concentration is how you make silly amounts of money. How to build really big positions *safely*: I like to build exposure in different ways, even through different vehicles...while also allowing myself to comfortably hold through volatility. 1) scale in via shares (earn your size) - take days/weeks/months to build a position - add on weakness inside strength (pullbacks, consolidations, higher lows) - avoid urgency...slow & steady is fine 2) trade around a core - establish a core position (exmpl: 1000 shares) - actively trade a smaller portion (100–300 shares)...lowers cost basis, generates cash flow - don't touch the core unless thesis breaks 3) include adjacent exposure across vehicles - via other equities in the same theme - via
What is overbought and oversold? How to use RSI to understand it?
The idea is simple: when a stock has run up too far, a pullback may be on the horizon. When it’s fallen too far, a bounce could be coming. Technical analysts don’t use words like “expensive” or “cheap” though. Instead, they look for potential market imbalances — and that’s where the terms overbought and oversold come in. How to Identify Overbought and Oversold Levels? Many range-bound technical indicators can help spot these conditions. One of the most widely used is the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The RSI is a momentum-based oscillator that measures the speed of price movements, fluctuating on a scale from 0 to 100. An RSI above 70 traditionally signals an overbought condition — and a potential sell signal may emerge when it drops back below that level. On the flip side, an RSI below 3
Markets Heating Up: S&P 500 Faces Divergence as Semis Surge to Extremes
Weekly S&P500 ChartStorm - 26 April 2026 This week: technical check, seasonality snippets, fund flows, semiconductors, market froth at the top, cyclicals, global growth, emerging market equities... Learnings and conclusions from this week’s charts: There’s a minor bearish breadth divergence on the S&P500. Seasonality is also moving into a weaker period. (albeit seasonality tends to be better when stocks are up YTD) Semis are surging, chalking up multiple records and extremes. Cyclicals vs defensives are confirming the bullish macro picture. Overall, there’s a couple of short-term technical risk flags to note (especially with geopolitics simmering and central banks in the wings) and plenty of pockets of froth still bubbling away in markets. But there’s also some bright spots (e.g. e
