The $Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ thesis isn't complicated: AI workloads need bandwidth. More bandwidth means more 400G, 800G, and eventually 1.6T transceivers. $Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ is one of maybe three companies that can actually make these at scale, and they're vertically integrated from chip to module. The 1.6T ramp in 2027 is the catalyst that either makes this a $200 stock or a cautionary tale. I'm betting on the former. The ATM closure means they have the capital to execute. Now they just need to ship.
$Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$ It probably shouldn't be down over the last five days. It has climbed from the 766 low and is back in the green at 776 now. Next week could be decent. We'll see.
$Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$ In STX we trust? It looks like a buying opportunity. One day everyone wants it, the next day no one does. Maybe buying when no one wants it makes sense.
$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ The only real risk right now is on the manufacturing execution side. Product demand is simply not an issue. That's the honest reality of it.
$Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$ I wish I had learned about financial literacy much earlier, but I'm grateful I eventually did. At 45, I was $97,000 in debt with no savings and no retirement plan. I decided it was time to educate myself and take responsibility for my financial future. Two years later, my net worth has grown to more than $870k. I'm now debt-free with $550,000 invested and focused on building even more long-term wealth. Being part of this community for the last three years has had a huge impact on my financial mindset. My habits have completely changed, and I've built a portfolio of approximately 5 Bitcoin over the past few months. I'm incredibly thankful for the journey and for the regular updates I've been able to follow.
$Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ MM keeps setting up a trend and then breaking it every time. They might push it before we even get a dip this time. Starting to accumulate anyway.
$SK hynix(SKHY)$ Will they finally let Kospi run? It closed at 6971. It has been over 7k a few times since its epic fall from 9400. Micron reported earnings and had zero mention of competition, now or in the foreseeable future. All the major memory manufacturers are sold out, and Micron is writing contracts through 2031 at 50% of expected production. That is pretty crazy. You would think they were mining gold. Maybe they are. What applies to Micron applies to SK and Samsung. If they are all smart and don't get too aggressive on capex, this gravy train will persist. It's a far cry from the boom-to-bust cycles of the past. That wasn't a respectable way to do business, but it was the only way. That ship has sailed. I have to believe SK and Samsu
$Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ I've been accumulating slowly. If it dips, I'll add in bigger chunks. Those shares aren't getting unloaded until we're above a new all-time high.
$Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ Bloom jumped over 8% on old news, and I figured it would fade this week. Just didn't expect it to happen this fast. Turned 62k into 125k over the weekend. I always place a sell order right after buying an option contract, and this time it filled while I was asleep. Sharing my approach for anyone who trades options.
