Today in Focus: CRML
Trading Services I Use in my Trading:
StockAnalysis.com - I’ve been using Stock Analysis as an affordable but reliable method of looking at New and Upcoming IPOs, Earnings Calendars and most notably KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it’s a no brainer. They’ve given me a discount code if you use IRISHBORNINVESTOR they will give you another 10% Off.
Situational Awareness
Market Condition: Lock Out Rally Continued
Commentary: Options expiry day today. Potentially some funky moves will occur. Positive news before the gap up. Maybe some selling intraday here on the Hormuz opening announcement.
Either way patience for catalysts now. We have a huge earnings week next week. One stock interests me today listed below. Patience, don’t chase other names that are running. These are real FOMO moments. If this is the start of a bull run there are going to be wonderful opportunities in many stocks.

"This is a game-changing moment… removes the most significant structural overhang on the project…"
"Tanbreez is no longer a future project — it is a project in development."
"…solidifying its position as the controlling stakeholder in one of the world's largest rare earth deposits."
Other precious metals running hard, High short interest. Chart right at $10. Disclosure - I entered this pre market at $10 as I saw the Reuters article and realized that the company hadn’t put out it’s press release yet. Willing to add at the open as a normal trade. The confirmation is not shocking and more a regulatory framework but will get attention and the market is hot.
