I know everyone avoided $AIOK, but it’s funny how there were somehow plenty of locates available despite the allegedly 1.11M float (traded 17M+ by now)

I was genuinely worried when I saw everyone in small caps doing the same thing in such a limited market cap/float environment. Many thought I was just whining, but I expected a series of broker or clearing firm blowups to eventually bring the whole thing down. Instead, other factors forced locate providers and brokers to cut supply, making borrows either unavailable or prohibitively expensive. Feels like we’re back five years in SCs, at least for me. Thankfully, I spent the last year developing other niches, and they’re printing now.

Pretty wild how calm and sunny the market looks when you're not caught up in the ai trade. Just look at Berkshire $BRK.B

Anyone managed to get reasonably priced locates on $RBNE today? Feels like anything that fades this hard costs 10%+ to borrow these days. And paying that still doesn’t guarantee you won’t get squeezed 1,000%…

$SPCX to the Mars!!! 🚀 Literally went full margin long across all trading accounts. Recently realized I've been trading earnings completely wrong. Super excited to build new infrastructure around a whole new set of earnings strategies. This trade was pure discretion btw, but driven by research I've been doing in completely different setups. Feels like a whole new world.

Huge reversals across the AI trade today. Probably traded 20+ names, too many to mention. Days like this remind me how much better the risk/reward can be in large caps compared to the small-cap rig fests, if you're patient. Yet somehow, when I post about one random chinese rig, it gets 10x the attention. Took some speculative positions off. Holding the growth/value names for the long term, stops at breakeven. $IREN $SOXL $KORU $SNDK $AVGO $TSM

$TLT bounce playing out nicely. Semis next? $SMH $SOXL

Interesting conditions in small-cap shorting right now. Crazy squeezes in rigged China names every day and insanely expensive locates. Usually, we only had one of those at a time. Which can only mean one thing: we need more people to blow up, give up, or size down before conditions improve. Unfortunately, all the big players seem smart and disciplined these days, so this might take a while. $JBDI $WFF $FLYE

Finally $WFF

$WFF so I guess all the scams and games have moved to RTH for now.

$PLTR clear sky pattern and impressive relative strength. Love the business and its growth. Still think a lot of people don't fully understand it, which is a good thing. Added some long-term exposure here. Already had some through ETFs bought near the summer lows.

I see a lot of hate for the idea of me making a trading course, and I get why, given the industry's reputation. But most of it isn't coming from people who genuinely want to learn and improve. I've also received a lot of great feedback. Quality education from a trader with a proven track record can be incredibly valuable. Some think trading is cool, but selling something isn't. I'd argue that building and selling a genuinely useful product ethically can be more fulfilling, scalable, and impactful than trading itself. There are trading educators I've never criticized because I genuinely respect their work. The biggest obstacle is finding the time to do it right. Trading already takes plenty of it. Either way, we've got some interesting stuff coming soon.

Looks like canceling trades in $BIYA completely killed all the premarket action. Shorts don’t want to get steamrolled by an outlier loss, and longs don’t want to chase when their outlier win might just get canceled.

If I end up making a trading course, what format would you prefer?

Based on the feedback, a few things I want to address: 1. “You blew up, so now you sell courses. Nobody sells what actually works.” Fair enough. I’m actually doing pretty well. Maybe a bit bored lately. If I decide to do this, I’ll make my kinfo public. It’ll be a continuation of the accounts I’ve posted before, so it’ll be very easy to verify that I didn’t conveniently skip anything. Also, I don’t plan to make most of my money from small caps long term, so sharing some of what I know there isn’t exactly sacrificing my future income. 2. A lot of shorts are worried I’ll bring more competition into the niche, take locates, and hurt liquidity. That’s a completely valid concern. 3. I got a lot of DMs, and there’s clearly a real struggle out there. But most of it doesn’t come from not knowing the exact setup or secret algo. It comes from weak fundamentals: how to research strategies, test them properly, understand why they work, manage risk, build tooling, and adapt when the market changes. If I simply publish a strategy that works today, it’ll eventually get arbitraged away (probably much faster once it’s public) and people are back to square one. So if I do this, it’ll probably be much lower-ticket than I planned, and it won’t be a full reveal of my current algos. The focus will be on strategy/algo development, robust examples that are harder to crowd, risk management, research process, and tooling. The goal will be to make someone a better trader who can keep finding edges, not give them one edge with an expiration date. I still probably won’t have the time or energy to actually do this, but I like the idea and think it could be genuinely useful.

All these spikes should be investigated and busted. Unfortunately, the smaller ones where MMs and other connected players didn’t get hit might just fly under the radar. $BIYA
