The 10.000 % Challenge: One year (August 2026)

By | August 23, 2026

I didn’t make any entries for a month, because I was on a holiday. I have left all trades open, put up some more and didn’t look at them much. Some things happened. I was pushed out of some, because the margin requirement was a little too high. But I was right about the trend return. So far, so good. From now on a monthly update might do it, because I didn’t achieve my 10.000% target in a year and probably it will not be reached very soon. Who would have thought that 😉

Stock 2: PLTR

Dumb and dumber have bought up the stock again to incredible price levels. I had to go short on it.

Stock 6: SpaceX

I just left it open. It goes up and down, but in the end it’s a big fraud by Elon the super scammer. Short bet is the answer to that.

Stock 7: Ganfeng Lithium Company

This is another stock in the commodity space that turned up on my radar with significant return potential. It has lost 60%+ and the company is essential to the electrification revolution in China. So I thought to myself, let’s try it.

Commodity 1: Gold

Too bad I was pushed out a bit and had to give up 10 lots, but leaving gold open for a while now.
