This Is Not Investment Advice

The Market Right Now - Aerospace/Defense

You may be noticing more military activity recently and discussions about hemispheres, Greenland, and much more. The President is jawboning about trimming the absurd fat levels with the fat cats in the Defense sector. Bigger Picture: the world needs stuff and the incumbents are too stodgy, fat and complacent, docile perhaps, and unable to innovate and build fast enough.

Someone or something will ultimately provide what the ‘Melt Up’ needs and is seeking.

Let’s take a look first at how the Industry Group is doing overall:

We can see that despite the dead weight included the Industry Group Aerospace/Defense has a Composite Rating of 93 for the entire group - very strong actually. The Group is up 11% on the year and has jumped from being ranked 55th to now 28th in the last six weeks.

Perhaps you are sensing more involvement with our beautiful and amazing Oceans and Naval forces in general. Well - what about the area around Greenland and Antarctica? Think there might be a lot of activity around that area in the water ultimately?

The point is the Ocean makes up most of Planet Earth and we know very little about it. It also has absolutely enormous Geo-Poly and economic implications.

KRKNF Weekly

Thoughts and observations:

  • Prior report here laid out my existing position on KRKNF and how I encountered it years ago . . . .

  • Stock is flexing Relative Strength right in step with the sexy and “prestigious” and “sophisticated” Drone stocks in the same Industry Group . . . . . but nobody even knows about it . . . . . . .

  • Raised $115M in July 2025 at half the current share price . . . . . nice move and timing . . . . liquidity position improved YOY dramatically . . . .

  • Full Disclosure . . . . . am already up huge on this one . . . . . putting serious thought into how and by how much I should look at expanding my position . . . . .

  • The Most Important Thing here to me is that the market appears to be aligning with my perception of how explosive this could be . . . . . .

  • Company is methodically rolling out new products and gobbled up a couple smaller firms . . . . . . KATFISH USV bigger deal, bigger money, bigger clients like actual Naval Forces . . . . .

  • Bigger Picture . . . . we know almost nothing really about the Ocean . . . . ‘Melt Up’ needs resources and engagement on land but also up in Space and in the Ocean . . . . Geo-Poly is huge . . . . broader opportunity related to the Ocean may be of a magnitude about which we have no idea currently . . . . but it’s definitely not a smaller opportunity than what the market truly is absorbing at the moment . . . . we simply don’t know how big any investments related to the Ocean could become because we don’t understand enough yet about the Ocean . . . .

  • If the world needs and wants to have more involvement with the Ocean for a variety of reasons . . . . it will need to be able to see stuff, hear stuff, have and use power, accumulate and manage and store data, and more . . . . . this is important and I struggle to see how this whole “Ocean thing” could even advance without having/using tools (with power) to be able to see and hear what is going on and record that . . . .

  • Holding tight for sure and looking for opportunities to build the position . . . . by how much not certain as of right now . . . . .

  • Willing to risk more IF and WHEN the market is legitimately and credibly behind me . . . . . and when my hopefully reasonable assessment about the upside is that it is very big and open ended . . . . . willing to apply concentration do we have that combo here?

  • We simply do not know how big the Ocean could be . . . . . and frankly I don’t care what any VC or “expert” says . . . . we simply do not know as of yet . . . .
