+$30,000 from $ONDS Today: Motivation Monday

Substack is where I plan to do my 1:1 mentorships and real teaching for new investors trying to get a grip on understanding the volatile and unforgiving Small Cap and Spec Stock environment. Don’t forget to read my newest article that dropped last night. The next Article for premium subscribers is dropping later this week for an underrated defense play.

How did I do this today? The gains can be attributed to ludicrous volume and relative strength to the upside from $ONDS today. I thought we’d see at least a little profit taking and retracement into the low $8’s. That was not the case.

We are back to September figures in the ports. Probably a little more if I added a couple other accounts and realized profit from today. I held from 11.70 to the high 4s and was down bad but kept a level head - This is what conviction is. Never invest in something you don’t know like the back of your hand if you want to be successful consistently.

As a reminder to new investors and the yungins who just learned what an $NVDA or $ONDS is - age is not indicative of intelligence. You are never too young or old to learn a new skill. I’m turning 30 this year - to some of you I’m probably considered young 😂. That just makes me more motivated to be the smartest man in the room. I’ve proved time and time again I put the work in to find these companies and provide results and receipts for those with similar conviction.

I’ve been in finance for 6+ years now but only really started managing my own own holdings in 2022 starting with paper trading. I had to be careful - I didn’t get a trust fund, I didn’t have a family loan to start, nothing to fall back on. Either I managed myself correctly or started back at step 1. My port started as a 100 Dollar DCA from trading in a contact center. It was do or die - similar to when a baby bird leaves its nest for the first time - fly or fall. Look at us now -We’ve done 300% in 2025 and started a company. If you’re honest with yourself, put in the work, and don’t stray from your goals - sky is the limit.

My goal is to become a full time educator and mentor. Investing is rewarding but I truly enjoy researching emerging markets and sharing my findings with you all. Excited to join my fellow experts on bringing Erick Brock to AfterHour $ONDS holders. We have impact here.

I guess it’s motivation Monday. Chase your goals 💎✌️.
