What Reddit is saying
The most upvoted takes from each side, past 7 days.
Bullish
There was a guy who bought a million in AAOI last week who's down over 300k.
For example, he has been going on about AAOI for a long time and I remember AAOI used to be around ~$40 when he first posted about it.
Unbelievable like wow. AAOI 10 percent each day past 4 days like wow.
Bearish
I feel so bad for a guy who posted 1 million in AAOI.
Hottest comment
Almost hit 100% ytd and im regarded.
All the regular AI tech bullshit and some energy. MU was the big hitter for me as well as ARM and TSM. Then you add in TE OKLO and BE, plus some drone shit in ONDS and RCAT. Hints of SOXX and EWY, AAOI ANKR and some other random photonics whatever the fucks buys and sells and here I am.

I bought the dip, $1mm in AAOI
There is a good article about AAOI in Trading 212 saying the share price may hit $300-$500 range by summer. I read it today and bought some.

The Serenity + Reddit Special
Nah, he's been active for some time and if you check the entry points when he posts about a stock initially, most of these stocks are still profitable positions, despite these massive drawdowns. … I think he hyper-focuses on momentum stocks that can go 5x-10x-20x over time and current macro environment is absolutely terrible for momentum stocks.
Nah he's actually one of the good ones. He gave some brilliant calls. Google at 160, AXTI at 11, AAOI at 40, NBIS at 80 etc.

Gift me $1k worth of AAOI.
If AAOI goes to $75 like it did once I would get into like mad lol.

OpenAI perpetual futures just dropped following FT report that annualized revenues are 20 billion short
Big names are more than holding up but I think the bubble is starting to pop below the surface when you look at tickers like AXTI, AAOI, and AEHR. They still have a lot to give back but are down huge from peak AI mania.
What Are Your Moves Tomorrow, October 9, 2026
What are your top picks? I'm holding the usual suspects - NVDA, PLTR, CRDO, VRT, ALAB, AAOI, NBIS and other data centers, BE and other energy plays, etc. I'm also hoping for this plus 5-10 years equals rich.
