This newsletter has four parts:
Some charts I forgot to share on the blog (you knew there was a reason you subscribed!)
Commons portfolio update
A dive into the critical minerals theme I believe will get kicked into high gear this week including lots of my favorite charts around the theme
Some AI-based deep research on the pros and cons of various companies in the critical mineral space
The first two parts I’ll include below and the last two you can find over at the blog.
But first a list of tickers that I like the FA and TA on, but didn’t have time to chart and don’t have the capital to buy. I’d love if you’d dig into these and tell me why I’m wrong and should buy them: FTMDF, NCFFF, FWEDF, GMTLF, TECK, TLOFF, MGMNF, CRECF.
NAK - Copper, Gold, Molybdenum
NAK is coiled extremely tightly on daily just under the $2.34 level I drew in TradingView almost a decade ago. NAK has the most enormous reserves of precious minerals in Alaska, but it was blocked by EPA. They are negotiating with Trump EPA to reverse that, but Trump probably wants a piece of the action for the USG, a stake in the company and its profits. That is in advanced stages of talks and could be announced any moment. This takes them from worthless to worth a LOT.
NAK daily
Look at this incredible chart setup:
NAK weekly
I already have some LEAPs and commons and will be adding to both at open.

TMQ - Copper, Zinc
Look at this monthly:
TMQ monthly chart
And the daily looks great too, except for the volume shelf directly above. I’m hopeful the USAR news might bust us through that.

CRML - REE
I made great money on CRML warrants from $5 to $20 (underlying) and then again from $8 to about $15, but I sold too soon, clearly. This chart is not only critical minerals, but it’s also Greenland. And rumor is Trump has a deal for sovereignty over parts of Greenland including military and mineral extraction. This massive REE deposit could come online fast than we think.
$8
LAC - lithium
If we can get above this volume shelf and 200 WMA, I’d really love this price action:
ASPI - nuclear isotopes
I love the breakdown of channel and then the reclaim that it’s progress. It’s already reclaimed all the major SMAs, and its trajectory seems clearly headed to reclaiming channel as well. As you know, that kind of false breakdown/breakout and reclaim can set up a powerful move.
ASPI daily
ASPI weekly
Commons Portfolio Update
Here’s the current commons portfolio. A lot of these green gains are actually lower than reality because I derisked to a ton of cash around the Greenland tariff threats, bottom-shorted, and then bought back my longs, but surprisingly came out decent nonetheless. But I did sacrifice some profits and some vanity cost bases in the process. However, keeping my gains is my top goal (which I did very poorly with early in my trading career), so I am happy to sacrifice some gains for that, especially given the abundance of gain opportunities these days.
Head on over to the blog for the meat of my critical mineral AI DD/FA/summaries and chart fest!
