thread... share yours ;-)

We all have them - those opportunities that sting because the setup was right there, but we hesitated, overrode, or timed it wrong. Sharing our top 5-10 from 2025 with charts, rationale, and lessons. Pure growth, no ego.

What’s YOUR biggest investing miss or hardest lesson this year?

• $TLO / $TLOFF Strong signal at ~$0.055 - massive volume breakout + perfect momentum (chart below). We ignored our own system and followed external advice. Result: Missed a huge run. Lesson: Trust our process over outside noise. Always. Ever ignored your gut/signal and regretted it? Chart below.

• $LAC Our deep lithium dive ranked it top 3 with strong fundamentals. We allocated to $ALB & $SQM instead (better insider buying + diversification bet). Hindsight: $LAC massively outperformed. Lesson: High-conviction thematics deserve real sizing - don’t over-diversify away the winners.

• $CRV & $BONK Discretionary buys chasing rotation - directly against our system signals. Risk management on Oct 10th saved us from worse, but still closed red. Lesson: FOMO overrides kill edge over time. Discipline > anticipation.

• $RGTZ & $IONZ (leveraged short vehicles) Early Nov entry nailed the drop - peaked +80% and +50% unrealized. Decay + volatility bleed erased it all. Closed breakeven/loss. Lesson: Daily-reset leveraged products demand ruthless timing. Decay is brutal.

What’s your toughest timing or leverage lesson of 2025? More misses 5, 6... and on + charts dropping in replies as we go.

first chart: TLO - we missed this move :-(

This isn’t your typical watchlist — it’s a who’s who of the companies the U.S. needs to stay ahead in energy, defense, and AI supply chains.

Let’s break it down 👇

⚛️ Nuclear Energy & Uranium:

The U.S. wants energy independence — and that means uranium.

Names like $UUUU (+0,37 %) , $LEU (+2,66 %) , $CCO (-0,64 %) , and $NXE (+0,58 %) are at the center of the nuclear revival. Even micro-reactor plays like $OKLO are making noise as America rebuilds its atomic backbone.

🔋 Batteries & Energy Storage:

$TSLA (+0,31 %) is still here, but the real upside could come from lesser-knowns like $AMPX (next-gen lithium-ion) and $MVST (+1,69 %) (solid-state tech).

These are the quiet enablers of the EV and grid storage boom — and every megawatt stored is national security now.

🪨 Rare Earths & Strategic Metals:

China controls 70%+ of this market — and the U.S. wants out.

Morgan Stanley highlights $MP (+0,11 %) , $CRML (+1,59 %) , $IVN (+1,28 %) , and $WPM (+0,22 %) as key players in securing rare earth supply chains critical for chips, missiles, and EVs.

⚡ Lithium:

Without lithium, there is no clean energy transition.

Watch $ALB (+0,36 %) , $LAC (+0,36 %) , $SGML (+0,71 %) , and $SLI (+0,74 %) — these are the lifelines for the world’s next battery superpowers.

💡 The takeaway:

This “National Security Index” isn’t just about defense — it’s about control of the future’s raw power: energy, data, and materials.

And the firms on this list aren’t just suppliers — they’re the gatekeepers of U.S. sovereignty in a world of rising geopolitical tension.

If you’re betting on where the big government money flows next… this might be your roadmap.

Interesting video on a long-shot investment into $LAC (+0,36 %) investment who has the rights to extract the largest lithium deposit in the world.

I am waiting for the right signal if they will be succesful in pulling through or will need to sell parts of their rights.
