Short report from CrappyBara on Hydrograph. It's pretty rough. They attack the CEO's resume and go on to list all sorts of problems.
Now, this is the same short report company that has been sued a number of times and lost a few of those, but the company here needs to defend itself asap. This is really nasty.

That report is brutal. They seem to bring legit receipts as well. I hope the company responds. I was not a holder but have been watching at jumped in at 1.12 a few hours ago. Hoping for a quick flip then reassess.
HydroGraph: A $1Bn Graphene 'Science Project' Propped up by Paid Stock Promotion with No Path to Commercialization, Misrepresented Regulatory Approval, Unscalable Tech, and Failed Partnerships
The stock rallied 1000% in the past month, driven by paid promotions and empty announcements. Impressive for an 8-year-old company that spends little on research, has produced less than 200kg of graphene, and has unscalable technology according to experts.

It is a damning report. The CEO was on a webinar yesterday and acknowledged its existence but essentially said she "wasn't going to give it any oxygen" and was very impressive with her presentation focusing on the company's growth, catalysts and operations.
This guy is in Manhattan, KS today to kick the tires. He owns 18 million shares and has been defending the company on Twitter, but I'm curious what he has to say after the site visit.
Penny stocks ain't for the faint of heart.

And, at the of the day, HGRAF is a growth company focusing on future solutions for technology, medicine, military applications through the production of graphene. The short report bashing it as a science project is belittling, but what we as humans supposed to do to improve our lots in life? Not try and advance our abilities to improve ourselves, our planet, our health? I get why short reports exist, but this just seems like punching down because you can.
Capybara has a history of this and has been sued and lost more than once. It is a hell of note for a short biased hit factory to call out a company as a 'pump and dump' when they are doing the same thing in reverse. Establish a short bias against a company, build the position, release a hit piece and THEN disclose your short position.

The big Whig guy scares me a bit after the hit piece. Allegedly his son tipped him off to the stock, but his son worked for them in some capacity?

HydroGraph’s loudest promoter is Canadian financier Kevin Bambrough, who claims the idea originated from his son. His son previously worked at PowerOne Capital, a shop notorious for its long association with penny stock promotions.
This seems like a reach to me. 1) Kevin Bambrough is not being paid to promote this stock. He's doing this on his own. 2) Kevin's son previously worked for PowerOne. Not there now and in what capacity? 3) A short-biased hit shop hiding behind anonymity has some nerve calling out the scruples of other shops.
If Kevin sold shares silently last week he'd be much richer today. That's what I would do if my son and I were in cahoots to pump and dump a company we got cheap shares of in return for seed money. Instead, this guy is screaming loudly everywhere he goes that he's diamond hands holding and wants a 10-bagger minimum. Those aren't the actions of a nefarious actor.
This hit piece stinks.

Eh - these small companies are like small pharma one drug wonders. They hit or they don't. It's a great subject to bet on, but I'm willing to lose the bet I have.
Except for CYDY. That thing was a powerhouse.
Well I was close...
President Donald Trump on Wednesday said his administration will not approve solar or wind power projects, even as electricity demand is outpacing the supply in some parts of the U.S.
“We will not approve wind or farmer destroying Solar,” Trump, who has complained in the past that solar takes up too much land, posted on Truth Social. “The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!!”
The president’s comment comes after the administration tightened federal permitting for renewables last month. The permitting process is now centralized in Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s office.
Renewable companies fear that projects will no longer receive permits that were once normal course of business. The president’s comments Wednesday will likely heighten those concerns.
Trump blamed renewables for rising electricity prices in the U.S. Prices have risen on the nation’s largest grid, PJM Interconnection, as rapidly growing demand from data centers and other industries faces a tight power supply as resources such as coal plants are retired.
PJM Interconnection saw prices for new power capacity rise 22% compared to last year in an auction held last month. PJM covers 13 states across the Mid-Atlantic and parts of the Midwest and South.
But solar and battery storage are the power sources that can ease the supply-and-demand gap the quickest, as they make up an overwhelming majority of the projects in line to connect to the grid, according to data from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Trump has launched a sweeping attack on renewables since taking office. His One Big Beautiful Bill Act terminates the investment and production tax credits for wind and solar by the end of 2027. Those credits have played a key role in the expansion of renewable energy in the U.S.
The president’s steel and copper tariffs have also increased the costs of solar and wind projects, renewable companies say.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Tuesday ended its support for solar on farmland.

Prices are too high because demand went up, so let's make it harder to build supply. SMAHT.

What's more likely first - DJIA 40K or 46K? I think we're starting a major slide, so I've been trimming profits from the recent rally. The market is finally going to realize that no job growth + inflation is bad and will adjust accordingly.

Very nice. Are we expecting this to fall to sub $1 at some point?

At present time, this thing is like a religious warfare stock with both sides (bulls and bears) doing their level best to influence price direction in their favor. In the middle, you have a young team with a brilliant scientist attempting to improve and advance material science surrounding graphene, which in theory is the lightest, strongest substance with excellent electrical conductivity. In the abstract, graphene could be used to build military jets making them stronger, lighter, faster and harder to detect. It's also got amazing potential to be used in detecting and treating cancers and tumors.
But this is early early innings and the push/pull by the cheerleader and the detractors are going to be loud. If it's a small position and you're up, maybe set up some stop-losses or something to manage downside risk.
Me? It's a lottery ticket. I'm not going to go broke if it goes to zero. But if it goes to $10, maybe I will retire afterall.

Bought a very small amount of AREC this morning to keep up with it. This is a rare earth recycler with a positive news report that came out today. Company is not profitable, but I like the subject matter. Thus the tiny buy.

Don't laugh. I bought Opendoor Technologies (OPEN) earlier today. It is up 32% on the day. I am up half that. Seems like a good short term gamble if anyone wants some daytime action. NOT a long term play but seems like a good chance to turn a quick buck. The trick will be getting out before the rug pull.
