One of the best articles I have read about $HGRAF. Lays it out in Layman’s terms so even the dummy naysayers can understand it. Not sure how they can continue to doubt the story with all the facts laid out. seekingalpha.com/article/493…

GDF15 is the best biomarker of energetic stress we have. Psilocybin is one of the most powerful medicines that alter states of mind and stimulate the healing process. Intriguing results linking psilocybin and GDF15 in people with Parkinson’s disease.
Mitochondrial stress (GDF-15) is reduced in Parkinson's disease patients after psilocybin administration (Bradley et al.: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…) This supports our hypothesis that #psychedelics affect mitochondria (journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs…)

Here’s why I hate warrants attached to issues. Warrants have a value, sometimes a significant value. It’s most often the case that when a company issues units that include warrants the stock quickly drops to the price of the units minus the Black-Scholes value of the warrant. This is because funds (often fast money hedgefunds) love to buy unit deals, flip the stock and keep the warrant. So they eliminate downside and keep upside. This drop is a punishment to those that didn’t get good fills on the units or couldn’t buy them because they are not institutional / high net worth investors or they are in a jurisdiction where the units can’t be sold. If management teams believe they need to raise capital, then fine….do what you think is best. But, don’t play these warrant games. I hate them. There’s clearly a significant cost / value to them. Maintaining a loyal retail following is key. Giving people confidence that you’re not going to burn them with a fat warrant deal that they will miss out on is important. I’d much rather see an issue at a discount to market but straight equity. If people buy the deal and flip for a tiny gain and it cause the stock to drop and touch the deal price….again, so be it! At least this gives all investors a chance to buy the dip and stay on somewhat of a level playing field. It’s also important to do this price discovery exercise with a companies broker and potential institutional investors. You WANT investors that want to hold the stock. You DON’T WANT hedgefunds that just want to flip the stock and get free warrants. I’ve been extremely outspoken about my position when it comes to warrants over the years. If issuers want to keep me a shareholder I encourage them to never issue warrants. I’d like to be clear on this… crystal clear.

Few weeks ago piles of people on X “You can’t own enough copper” Today… I own too much copper The combo of higher interest rates and high energy prices are a massive disincentive to buy a home, new auto, appliances as well as consumer energy. Looks like yield curve will be inverting and a nasty recession is in the cards. Trying to fix high energy price inflation with interest rates given the shortages are due to war… well that’s just deciding to punish everyone with variable rate mortgages. New home starts are likely to soon crash to 2008 like lows.

I love the evolution of ‘partying’ Diplo at WSJ: The future of partying isn’t more nightclubs, it’s run clubs, saunas, sound baths, and wellness events. Young people still want connection, music, and release. They’re just done destroying themselves to get it. “This sober era isn’t a trend. It’s an evolution.” Clubs that figure out how to deliver the energy without the hangover will win. The rest will look like indoor smoking did in 2005.

You can look at all the data from the $hg $hgraf studies with universities and the GEIC as well as their own publications in major journals. You can see for yourself they got epa, eu and uk approvals. As well the major production plant deal with western gas. You can see that graphene has now been added by congress as a critical material / mineral. You can play with Ai and as a million questions and then use an Ai to ask a million more of another Ai. lol. But by far…. It’s not even close. The most compelling thing is when I look Dr Chris Sorensen in the eyes and he tells me that this graphene is going to change the world. National Professor of the year. He’s one every award a scientist and teacher / prof can win other that the noble prize (which he deserves) The guy is a Vietnam vet. Upstanding citizen of unimpeachable reputation. He’s pushing 80 years old. He don’t give a shit about money. He’s all about honour and integrity. So when he tells me that this graphene is gonna change the world….I damn well listen. He also loves the scene from the movie ‘The Graduate’. Where the older man whispers to Dustin Hoffman. “One word: plastics” Sorensen says… ‘one word: graphene’. There’s a great future in graphene youtu.be/PSxihhBzCjk?si=aWyC…

Just checking the short interest. Seems despite the price falling so much lately the total short interest in $hg $hgraf remarkably increased… Maybe we are gonna have another squeeze like the spring? Curious what others see as the current short interest and how it’s changed over the last month. Assuming management delivers orders as per today’s press release. Well, it would seem like it might be extremely difficult for the shorts to cover. Days perhaps a couple weeks vs typical trading volumes.. that’s assuming they get aggressive at some point and account for a large percentage of the daily volume. Only time will tell. But today’s action seems like it’s likely to be just a precursor or taste of what might be coming over the next few months.

Being overweight anything is so stressful. Funny. In these times even when one tries to be conservative and raise cash, the cash weighting is stressful. Over the last few decades when I haven’t like the over all market and fear a melt down could come. Loke 2008 or covid times etc. I’ve gone to 30% cash. Sometimes finding myself quickly at 50% cash cause what I own gets whacked in a broad market decline. But it’s always been the case that quickly get stressed about holding cash. I see the deficits, the money printing and inflation and feel like I’m going to suffer inevitable losses to inflation. Thats why gold and silver have remained a core holding. Yes I will trim after massive runs. But major pullbacks always draw me back in. Just a matter of timing and risk reward.

"I think there is no suffering greater than what is caused by the doubts of those who want to believe."
— Flannery O'Connor Stocks routinely develop a religious following… Every investor with real conviction knows this feeling. It's not the people on the sidelines who suffer. It's the ones who are in deep, who want the thesis to be true, and still wake up at 3 a.m. questioning it. That tension isn't weakness. It's the job. Doubt the price and you'll shake out at the bottom. Ignore doubt about the thesis and you'll ride a mistake to zero. The edge is knowing which doubt you're feeling. There is zero substitute for doing one’s own due diligence and then deciding based on one’s personal financial circumstances if they should have a position in any particular investment and what that size should be. In my book, I describe the work I due to obtain true conviction as also how I manage position sizing. It’s always amazing how fast momentum changes. How much narratives and perspectives can change valuations. The most difficult thing to do is learning to sell your joy and buy your pain. Along with that, riding stocks to 10x or 20x returns is also a serious challenge. Managing greed and fear is a monumental challenge. Skepticism is healthy. I love digging deep and looking for all holes in the thesis I develop. There’s always plenty of things to consider that could go wrong. But, the goal is to find companies with enough things that look like they should go right, such that if they do the risk reward appears exceptionally good. There is absolutely no substitute for doing one’s own risk reward assessment.

Graphene is now written into U.S. defense legislation. 🇺🇸 The House-passed FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act lists "graphene and graphene-based materials" by name. Here's what it means, and what it doesn't. 🧵 $HGRAF Big thanks to Billiout! 🙏🏻

Energy is and always has been the ultimate currency.
JUST IN: Elon Musk says money will become "irrelevant" in the future, with energy and resources becoming the new measures of wealth.

The two most sustainable types of businesses. 1. Companies that use a little energy to produce something that delivers multiples more energy 2. Companies that use little energy to produce a product that saves customers multiples more energy. These two broad catagories can be applied to countless businesses and the ones that deliver the highest return on energy invest be it in production or savings will have the greatest longterm sustainable margins. This principle is core to my nano engineering, nano tech and nano material thesis. Nano innovations will result in massive energy savings. Products with nano tech will need less energy during production as well as when in use. If they last 2-3x longer. Then that bonus return on energy invested becomes incredibly valued over the long run and espcially for the environment which is so hard to value. Governments will step up and mandate the adoption of nanotechnology for theses reasons combined, but especially the last Corporations and investors deeply discount the value of products last 40 or 60 years vs 20 years. But the value to the environment and our grandchildren is so massive. This sort of regulatory reasoning is paramount for us to make the proper long term investment decisions rather than being shortsighted because of interest rates and our relatively short life spans

Most of the money donated to political parties is to attempt to get policies that benefit the donor financially. This is why many institutions and individuals donate to both parties. Campaign budgets are out of control and we will never ‘fix’ politics if the 1% or 0.1% can dictate policy so significantly. Our tax systems are just leading to a greater concentration of wealth and a global oligarchy.
NEW: Elon Musk gave Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott's campaign $500,000. About 3 months later, Abbott signed off on over $1.6 billion in tax breaks for Musk's chip plant.

Kevin, thanks for all your insights and info, I still have every share of HG that I purchased. I'm excited to see the final ISO 12944 result. No graphene company has EVER successfully completed the 25-week/4200 hr cyclic corrosion test with a positive result. Let that sink in !

I never once asked for followers on X. I share my views and occasionally what I think are great entries. Nobody has ever paid me to say a thing. My opinions are my own…based on my own work. Sometimes the criticism I see is tough to read. I’ve actually debated if I need to take a mental health break from X. But party of me says ‘fuck that’ because I know that’s exactly what the critics hope for. It’s a sickening cesspool at times on here. Constant barrage of freshly created anonymous accounts posting false information. A glance over some of these accounts posts and it’s easy to see all they do is attack and insult. Zero effort to create thoughtful insightful helpful commentary. My belief in 100% turbostratic fractal graphene (that only hydrograph producers) is unwavering. I’ve funded the start up of Turbostrata to try to develop products that will be best in class because they will use this revolutionary graphene. It’s a risk… but I’m willing to take it because I believe nano engineering, nano tech and nano materials are the future and that future is bright. It’s obviously difficult to predict when material orders will be announced. Management has given their best opinion in presentations and various documents. It’s a very challenging economic environment with tariffs, trade wars, material shortages, and an imploding bond market. We’ve seen things take longer than expected.. like gas plant and the epa approval. But let’s not forget. The critics and anonymous posting fraudsters all said these things wouldn’t happen. Now there are saying there will be no orders… but the patents keep piling up and the data from testing with potential customers keeps yield results so significant I frankly can’t believe they aren’t making main stream news. You’d think the world would be excited about making all plastics 30% better and 40-50% more recyclable and basically eliminating the micro plastic leach problems. But instead. Nearly all mainstream outlets focus on covering political nonsense and our leaders seem more focused on blowing shit up than making shit better. We are on the cusp of monumental change in the material science space. As always, my only recommendation is people take the time to do their own due diligence. There is no substitute for doing your own work and either developing true conviction or deciding you don’t like the risk reward of a stock, sector or market etf. My book details the need to counter trade your emotional state. It’s a very tricky thing to do.

I should add… I really think the value / risk / reward of my book is unparalleled. When you add up the numbers hours I worked on the book it’s literally like people are giving ‘a penny for your thoughts’. Then when I consider the rough road of learning to trade, then struggle to make it with a Bay Street hedge fund firm. And then move on to private equity. And then mixing in some of the key biopsychology stuff that I think is more valuable than anything else on the book. Well is probably the work I’m most proud of. It’s a book written for my grandkids and their grandkids. It’s also incredibly personal.
