Weekly Review
New materials Next
It was a very busy week. I published the full review of the EV van market, concluding that there was no suitable entry point. I also completed the review of the LiDAR industry, deciding not to change our current holdings; they still offer the best potential.
I interviewed the CEO of SES.AI (SES), a company I have invested in several times over the last few years. The interview revealed crucial information that all potential investors need to know. The interview is well worth listening to.
The portfolio as a whole continues to perform well, outperforming the US markets by quite a margin this week.
The US Stock Trading account was up 4.5% whereas the US markets were down 0.1%
Closed Profit
I closed out my positions in Bryna Technologies after they released earnings. Probably should have done it earlier this month. I had highlighted issues with retail sales and the news from the CEO did not help alleviate fears. Ultimately, we achieved a reasonable return.
We made one new investment during the week, which is currently 1% underwater.
Next week
As an emerging technology investor, I have three aims and one goal: to make money. The aims help me achieve this goal.
Identify emerging technologies.
Analyse the market.
Choose the right companies to invest in
Next week, I will be opening positions in a new, emerging technology, Graphene. There are two sides to it, one is a new technology, and there are plenty of those, but the key is emerging: a new technology about to go commercial.
To help subscribers, I have prepared a primer on Graphene, which will help people to make informed decisions about the players and companies I have chosen.
I will send the Primer on Monday, followed by a market analysis and a trade alert over the course of the week.
I will be writing an article on SES for publication on the Seeking Alpha platform. It is exposure on that platform that companies want when they offer to give up their time for interviews with me. My following on Seeking Alpha has grown to over 8,000. As it continues to expand, I will gain increased access to company executives, making it an essential part of my plan going forward.
