Increased current $3350.JT stack by 15% @ $1350 Yen, after trimming @ $1820 Yen

Started a new long on $SBET @ $9.93. VERY very speculative, have traded around this name in the past with good results so taking a small dab here again post the FUD

Huge beat by $AVAV, +23% to $238. Strong FY guidance set by mgmt too with record bookings and margins in Q4

“The investments we’ve consistently made in our multi-generational Uncrewed Systems and Loitering Munition Systems products coupled with our strong execution, continue to pay off, as evidenced by significantly higher demand and key strategic wins leading to a record $1.2 billion in total bookings throughout this fiscal year.”

Added more $KTOS @ $41.64 as I view this as a thesis-proofing read through

Added to $CRCL short @ $214.3. Sized such that a second squeeze would hurt, but still be manageable.

Wanted to short more at >$280 but missed it as was away from desk.

$KTOS hit us with that $500m offering @ $38.5 in the aftermarket.

Explains why the stock wasn’t moving along with $AVAV. Win some lose some, I’m still holding as this ST stuff doesn’t hurt the thesis

Closed $CRCL short @ $202, 6% gain. R/R was off on this one on hindsight, but don’t want to continue picking up pennies in-front of an incoming freight train

Added more $KTOS b/w $39.4 - $39.8. Am ok with dilution if it helps the company to grow in a fledging and rapidly competitive field

$AVAV popping off again. Pure-play on drones/drone defense with >80% revenue exposure to drones, vs $KTOS at <30%

$COIN @ $370, continuing its monster run into ATH. +36% from our initial buy @ $271 2 weeks ago, and we have continuously added more @ $292 and $306. I’ve got a good feeling about $COIN so I'm not trimming any yet.

Yesterday’s CRCL > COIN rotation seems like Wall St is waking up to our thesis that USDC adoption actually benefits COIN more than CRCL, given that COIN owns the customers.

Good close by $KTOS. Dip from the $500mn offering was erased in a single trading session. Added more @ $40.9 too

Added more $3350.JT @ $1460 Yen today

Added more $3350.JT @ $1622 Yen. Almost back to original size before trimming at $18++

Added more $HOOD @ $83.5 last Friday in light of their crypto event today. Word on the rumor mill is that they are launching tokenized stocks, or their own chain.

$KTOS also finally caught up, +17% from our dip buys and now at $46.5. Will trim some at open to buy more $AVAV as I like the latter more given 1) pureplay on drones, 2) I think their product approach is more logical (low-cost one way suicide drones at $15k replacement cost, vs unmanned aircrafts at $millions), and 3) the lower valuation for AVAV atm.

JPM (IPO lead) initiated on $CRCL, with TP @ $80 😂

Stock down to $173 in pre-market. Probably closed the short too early, but all’s good. Watching to see if it affects sentiments on $COIN

Added more $AVAV @ $278.5

So $HOOD ended up doing both, and in addition they’re also launching perps and staking in US and Europe. I think perps is the most incremental and lucrative, and I can see it taking off given how UX-centric the company is + how degen its customers are. Announcement is clearly better than market expected as stock has popped off 10%.

We have some HOOD, but little mixed on the news overall given the higher competition to $COIN. I was positive about COIN launching perps end-July, but seems like that bull case has to be dialed back. Tbh my gut tells me that HOOD will win this perp share over COIN, but we’ll see

They’ve also tokenized private company stocks, starting with OpenAI and SpaceX, which you’ve gotta admit is really cool and generates lots of hype. The execution of this company is top-notch.

Shifted 20% of $COIN to $HOOD around $90-$93. Still sized larger in COIN though

Position update:

Trimmed $COIN ~$348 and added to $HOOD ~$95, such that both positions are equal sized

Cut $8473.JT @ $4965 Yen and $SBET @ $9.35

Made use of the dip to add more to $AVAV @ $265.5 and $OSCR @ $21.8
