Why We Bought: The Perfect Storm

• On September 30, 2025, an insider buy made on 9/26 was reported to the SEC for UAMY (United States Antimony Corporation), which brought our attention to the stock. The CEO purchased $613,000 worth of shares, increasing his ownership by 4%. This insider purchase suggested that the CEO believed the near and/or long term future of the company was positive. Our automated bot then qualified it for our Insider Buying Swing Trading Strategy for a variety of additional reasons provided below, setting up the trade for entry on October 1.
• Geopolitical Catalyst: President Trump's June 11, 2025 announcement of a new trade framework with China, including 55% tariffs and provisions for the U.S. to obtain rare earth minerals from China, created immediate demand for domestic rare earth producers.
• Strategic Material: Antimony, UAMY's primary product, is classified as a critical mineral by the U.S. government and is essential for defense applications, flame retardants, and semiconductor manufacturing.
• Government Contract Potential: UAMY already has existing contracts with the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency ($245M IDIQ contract). There's growing speculation that the U.S. government may increase direct purchases of critical minerals to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers, particularly China.
• Volume Confirmation: Daily trading volume exceeded $30 million, confirming sufficient liquidity for our swing trade criteria.
• Volatility Profile: The stock's average monthly trading range exceeded 30%, supporting our swing-trade criteria and indicating high reactiveness to news.
• Three additional proprietary parameters shared with clients were also met, further validating the trade setup.

Precedent Analysis

• Intel Parallel: The Trump administration's Intel (INTC) trade provides a compelling blueprint for UAMY. After entering INTC on August 22nd, the position remained flat for nearly a month before exploding 40%+ on September 18th following NVIDIA's partnership announcement. This pattern suggests potential government accumulation of UAMY shares, with strategic news catalysts likely to follow - creating a similar "win" narrative for the administration while securing critical mineral supply chains.
• Public Image Strategy: On September 18th, President Trump posted an AI-generated meme on Truth Social showing him trading stocks, demonstrating his desire to portray himself as a successful trader. This supports the thesis that Trump wants to orchestrate deals and partnerships that make his investments instantly profitable - creating a compelling narrative for both political optics and personal gain.

Trade Progress (Ongoing)

• The stock opened at $6.75 on October 1, 2025, and quickly gained momentum as investors began to recognize the strategic importance of domestic rare earth production.
• Geopolitical tensions continued to escalate, with China's dominance in rare earth minerals becoming a focal point of trade negotiations and national security concerns.
• Defense contractors and technology companies began actively seeking alternative suppliers, creating additional demand for UAMY's antimony products.
• The stock rallied as high as $13.90 before stabilizing around $12.21, demonstrating strong momentum and investor confidence in the geopolitical thesis.
• Current Status: We are still holding our position as of October 10, 2025, with an unrealized gain of +80.9% from entry.
• Since 25% of the trading account was allocated, the current portfolio impact is approximately +20.2%.
• Market Crash Insulation: While the broader market experienced volatility due to tariff concerns, UAMY remained resilient and didn't fall with the general market. This demonstrates the stock's low correlation to market movements, as the very factors causing market crashes - tariffs and trade tensions - don't negatively affect UAMY and may actually benefit the company by increasing demand for domestic critical minerals.

Conclusion

The UAMY trade demonstrates how geopolitical events can create exceptional opportunities for swing traders who understand sector dynamics, market correlation, and which insider buying patterns signal the strongest setups.

More importantly, this ongoing trade showcases the value of our low-market-correlation approach. By focusing on critical minerals and defense-related sectors, we have been able to capture significant gains while the broader market remained volatile.

Current Status: We continue to hold our UAMY position as it remains above sell levels (7 day SMA price) and the geopolitical catalysts that drove the initial move are still in play. The trade exemplifies our swing trading strategy's ability to capture extended moves.

The key lesson: In uncertain times, identifying sectors with low correlation to general market movements can provide both protection and opportunity. However, as UAMY's current price demonstrates, timing is everything - entering after an 80%+ move would carry significant risk.

Why we bought:

• The stock rose 31% on 2/20. According to Barrons, "The biotechnology company on Friday said the FDA granted accelerated approval for Amtagvi, Iovance's treatment for metastatic melanoma, which is the first and the only one-time, individualized T cell therapy to receive FDA approval for a solid tumor cancer."
• After the news, the company issued a new stock offering which several insiders took part in. The timing in this scenario suggests that insiders may have had access to privileged information as participating in the stock offering potentially masks illicit actions under the guise of a legitimate transaction.
• While we can't confirm if this is or is not the case, the possibility that we caught insider trading is a worthwhile variable to factor into our trade plan. According to our data, significant insider activity coupled with stock offerings tends to correspond with notable price changes, regardless of whether the activity is illegal or not.
• Daily trading volume exceeded $30 million.
• The average monthly trading range exceeded 30%.
• Three additional proprietary parameters shared with clients were met, further supporting the buying decision.

Trade Result:

Conclusion:

This trade showcases the potential of the Insider Buying Swing Trading Strategy to deliver substantial returns within a relatively short time frame. Traders should consider the strategy's benefits and drawbacks and tailor their approach to their risk tolerance and investment goals.

Drawbacks:

Capital Lockup: One drawback is that this swing trading strategy requires capital to be tied up for up to 30 days until the trade plays out. This complicates execution relative to our Insider Buying Day Trading Strategy which takes one position at a time and closes it out before taking another. The Insider Buying Swing Trading Strategy can present scenarios where new trades are signaled while still holding previously signaled companies, so an assessment of how to allocate capital to each trade becomes a relevant issue to navigate. The working model for this strategy allocates 25% of trading funds to each position. This is subject to change.

Why we bought:

• DYN issued a new stock offering which the CEO took part in. The timing in this scenario suggests that the CEO may have had access to privileged information as participating in the stock offering potentially masks illicit actions under the guise of a legitimate transaction.

• Daily trading volume exceeded $30 million.
• The average monthly trading range exceeded 30%.
• Three additional proprietary parameters shared with clients were met, further supporting the buying decision.

Trade Result:

• The trade turned profitable on 1/24.
• There was news of a potential acquisition leading DYN to reach a peak gain of 48.7% on 1/26.
• The official take-profit alert was sent when the gain reached +40%. The total account gain was 10% since 25% of the account was allocated.

Conclusion:

This trade showcases the potential of the Insider Buying Swing Trading Strategy to deliver substantial returns within a relatively short time frame. Traders should consider the strategy's benefits and drawbacks and tailor their approach to their risk tolerance and investment goals.
