Yesterday In Review

GEV was whipsaw yesterday, I got a bit lucky in that I put my stop below the 9.25-30am pre market candle so missed stop out by a few cents on GEVX. Entry was on GEV pushing through $700. I think this position can have good follow through if I give it room. I took NXDR and stopped out on that. Entry was U&R of $2.50, stop was low of day. I took half size on the $30 reaction in DXYZ. I gave it some time so the entry was $30.50. Stop LOD. Other positions continue to work pretty well. KEYS, KSS, RBRK was bright but faded but no name is doing anything out of the ordinary so just monitoring for now. Trimmed some RBRK.

Market Awareness

Gap down from ORCL earnings is nice to see. We’ve recovered a lot pre market. Let’s see how the day proceeds. I prefer this to a gap up. Want to see names flipping green today about an hour or so into the market. Keeping an eye on VIX for any additional selling pressure. SMCI are presenting at Barclays at 12:50pm ET. This will be closely watched on the AI narrative today.

Today’s Picks

GEMI: the crypto exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, announced that its affiliate Gemini Titan received a Designated Contract Market (DCM) license from the CFTC, enabling it to offer prediction markets to U.S. customers. This marks the end of a 5-year application process that began in March 2020. Recent IPO has performed badly. Could be the turn around moment. Needs volume to come in. Prediction markets are a potential theme.

X-Ray GEMI: Industry Group: Capital Markets, Market Cap: 1.34B, Float: 35.46M Short Interest 16.34%, Days to Cover: 1.72, Exchange: NASDAQ

PL: Caveat - I am potentially bias on this name as I am bullish on the Space Data Center theme idea. Very strong earnings, Beat on Revs and EPS. Very strong KPI numbers. Huge Backlog beat and acceleration. Massive RPO growth Q3 FY2026: RPO growth accelerated to 361% YoY. "Vastly impressive execution" — RPO/backlog growth validates Planet transitioning from "experimental" to scaled growth platform. Discussion on conference call about partnership with GOOG for Space Data Centers (R&D Currently). Reasonable Short interest and good chart however this is the 3rd leg so higher failure rate. I’m looking at this because of Theme mostly.

X-Ray PL: Industry Group: Aerospace & Defense, Market Cap: 3.98B, Float: 229.79M Short Interest 13.01%, Days to Cover: 2.70, Exchange: NYSE
