Full Bio

Karim began his trading career early… very early. While attending boarding school in England, he recognized the value of the homemade snacks his mom sent to him every semester and sold them for a profit to his fellow classmates who were trying to avoid the horrendous British food.

He then graduated to stocks and options, becoming one of the youngest CFOs of a brokerage and trading firm that cleared through Bear Stearns in the late 1980s. There he learned his trading skills from veterans of the business.

Educated in England, Canada and the United States, Karim's fluent in several languages. His undergraduate studies were completed in economics and foreign languages. His graduate studies resulted in a master's degree in finance. Karim travels the world regularly, seeking out the best investment opportunities.

As co-founder and chief options strategist for the groundbreaking publication Wall Street Daily, Karim turned to LEAPS and put selling strategies to help members capture gains. After that, he honed his strategies for readers of Automatic Trading Millionaire, where he didn't record a single realized loss on 37 recommendations over an 18-month period.

Karim has more than 30 years of experience in options trading and international markets and he is the author of the best-selling book Where in the World Should I Invest? His focus is on "smart" trading — using volatility and proprietary probability modeling, he makes investments where risk and reward are defined ahead of time.

    2026-06-30· Monument Trend Advisory· Teases: This promo contains **multiple** veiled stock teases: **1) Rolls-Royce's "Secret Partner" (nuclear delivery/construction contractor)** - Clues: Defense contractor/government-services image seen as "boring"; manages construction oversight, system integration, supply-chain coordination (not manufacturing); managed the largest nuclear construction site in British history (>£30B, matches Hinkley Point C); supported UAE's first nuclear buildout (matches Barakah); secured a nine-figure contract in Wales this year; selected as Rolls-Royce SMR's lead delivery partner. - Prediction: **KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR)** — KBR has a documented delivery-partner agreement with Rolls-Royce SMR, supports Hinkley Point C, and has UAE Barakah project experience; fits the "defense contractor with a buried nuclear role" description closely. - Confidence: **Medium-High** **2) Wyoming Uranium Producer** - Clues: In-situ recovery method; producing since 2013; second mine coming online this summer; contracts through 2033; mine life to 2039; supplies U.S. Strategic Uranium Reserve; contract with Constellation Energy. - Prediction: **Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSE American: URG)** — matches Lost Creek (producing since 2013) and Shirley Basin (second mine ramping) assets, plus its known government reserve contract. - Confidence: **High** **3) Athabasca Basin + Namibia Producer** - Clues: Near-surface Athabasca Basin deposit (93.7 million lbs); existing producing mine in Namibia; doesn't trade on NYSE/Nasdaq; rose 140,000%+ in a prior uranium cycle; cleared a key review step in early 2026. - Prediction: **Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX/TSX: PDN, OTC: PALAF)** — owns the restarted, producing Langer Heinrich mine in Namibia and acquired Fission Uranium Corp's Patterson Lake South (PLS) project in the Athabasca Basin in 2024. - Confidence: **Medium** **4) "OpenAI's $22 Billion Secret Partner" (AI infrastructure bonus pick)** - Clues: $22B in OpenAI contracts, expanded three times in seven months; Nvidia invested $2B directly; still relatively unknown to most investors. - Prediction: **CoreWeave, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWV)** — matches the reported multiple expansions of its OpenAI compute contract (reportedly reaching ~$22B+) and Nvidia's known equity stake. - Confidence: **Medium**

    1. Hook Strength: 8/10 — Opens with an escalating credibility narrative (1994 internet call, crypto, cybersecurity) before revealing the new opportunity, creating curiosity through pattern recognition rather than a single flashy claim. 2.

    2026-06-25· Trade of the Day Plus· Teases: **Clues given:** - Small-cap company, described as a fraction of the size of Intel, IBM, and Micron - Owns 128 patents on chipmaking subsystems and components - Products include: contamination-control subsystems, chemical delivery modules for gas/chemical delivery in chipmaking - Also manufactures fittings, valves, and components for oil/energy, hydrogen, solar, and thermal energy industries - Revenue of $2.42 billion in 2022 - Major customers by revenue: Lam Research ($992M), Applied Materials ($549.3M), Intel ($90.7M), ASML ($66.7M), Samsung ($55.6M), TSMC ($54.2M), Micron ($41.6M), KLA Corp ($23.2M) - CEO is a former Applied Materials executive - Several top executives came from Lam Research - Operations in California, Texas, Arizona, Malaysia, Philippines, England, Tokyo, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Israel, Netherlands, France - Revenue from outside the U.S. has doubled since 2015 - Christian Schwab of Craig-Hallum Capital Group projected an $800M revenue increase - Invesco added 336,800 new shares as their largest new position; BlackRock built a $208M position; Vanguard bought $106M - Stock price variants: $32, $40, or $50 (multiple alt takes, suggesting the promo was written in late 2022/early 2023 when the stock was in this range) - Stock beat quarterly earnings estimates more times than Amazon, Tesla, Google, and Berkshire Hathaway since 2017 - Described as a "pick-and-shovel" play on the chip industry, not a chipmaker itself **Best prediction:** **ICHOR Holdings (ICHR)** — High confidence. Reasoning: The combination of clues is highly specific and points almost exclusively to Ichor Holdings: 1. Ichor is a supplier of gas and chemical delivery subsystems to semiconductor equipment manufacturers — exactly matching "chemical delivery modules that deliver precise amounts of gas and chemicals throughout the chipmaking process" 2. Ichor's primary customers are Lam Research and Applied Materials, which together account for the vast majority of their revenue — matching the revenue breakdown exactly (Lam Research ~$992M, Applied Materials ~$549M) 3. Ichor's CEO at the time (Jeff Andreson) came from Applied Materials 4. Ichor had ~$2.4B in revenue in 2022 5. Ichor is headquartered in California with global operations matching the listed locations 6. Ichor also has a fluid handling/fittings business serving energy markets (matching the oil/energy valve products description) 7. The stock traded in the $30–$50 range in late 2022/early 2023, consistent with the $32/$40/$50 alt takes 8. Ichor is a small-cap relative to Intel/TSMC/Applied Materials, consistent with the "fraction of the size" description **Confidence level: High**

    1. Hook Strength: 8/10 — The dystopian cold-open (freezing home, $17,149 iPhone, broken appliances) is viscerally specific and emotionally arresting; the alt lead's stacked third-party quotes from Bloomberg, The Atlantic, and a national security commission provide a strong credibility-first alternat

  • TPU Empire DRAFT
    Front-endDraft (Untested)8.0/10
    2026-05-27· Monument Trend Advisory· Teases: **Stock #1 — The Geological Mapping/Data Company:** Clues given: - Operates in more than 70 countries - One of the biggest geological data sets in the world - Pentagon and U.S. Army contracts worth "billions" over the years - Just signed a major agreement with Greenland Energy Company - Operates in oil and gas AND emerging as a leader in lithium mining - Positioned to help end U.S. dependence on lithium from China - Helps drill wells and extract resources (not just mapping) Best prediction: **TGS ASA (TGS)** — Norwegian geoscience data company operating in 70+ countries with massive subsurface data libraries, government contracts, and recent Arctic/Greenland activity. However, TGS is primarily seismic data, not drilling. Alternative: **Schlumberger/SLB (SLB)** — operates in 100+ countries, massive government relationships, oil/gas AND lithium/mining exposure, but too large and well-known to be described as a hidden opportunity. Stronger alternative: **Fugro NV** — geotechnical and survey company with global footprint, government contracts, Arctic work, but Dutch-listed. Best fit given all clues (70 countries, Pentagon contracts worth billions, Greenland Energy deal, oil+lithium, drilling capability): **Weatherford International (WFRD)** or more likely **Core Laboratories (CLB)** — but the Greenland Energy Company deal is the most specific clue. Given the combination of geological data + drilling + lithium + Greenland + Pentagon contracts: **TGS** remains the top candidate, or possibly **Sercel/CGG (CGG)** — seismic data company with government contracts and Arctic exposure. **Confidence: Low** — the Greenland Energy Company agreement is a very specific clue that should narrow this significantly, but no public announcement matching all criteria was identifiable with confidence. --- **Stock #2 — The Infrastructure/Engineering Company:** Clues given: - Global engineering firm - Expertise in critical mineral and rare earth facilities - Experience with oil sands and energy infrastructure - Works with governments, major energy producers, and mining companies worldwide - $12 billion in new awards last year - Current backlog of ~$25 billion (more than 4x market cap) - A major investor took a 5% stake last year - Just signed a deal to expand a mine in Chile Best prediction: **Fluor Corporation (FLR)** — global engineering and construction firm with oil sands, mining, and critical minerals expertise, government contracts, and a market cap that would make $25B backlog = ~4x. Fluor has been active in Chile and has attracted institutional investors. Alternative: **Worley Limited (WOR.AX)** — Australian engineering firm with heavy oil sands, LNG, and mining exposure globally, but Australian-listed. Alternative: **Aecom (ACM)** — but primarily infrastructure/government, less mining focus. **Best fit: Fluor Corporation (FLR)** — the $12B new awards, $25B backlog at ~4x market cap, oil sands + critical minerals expertise, Chile mine deal, and 5% institutional stake all align well. **Confidence: Medium-High** --- **Stock #3 — The Mobile Power/Generator Company:** Clues given: - Engines and power systems used in mining, drilling, rail, and construction - U.S. Army contracts worth ~$500 million for mobile power systems and generators - Fortune "World's Most Admired Companies" recognition - Mobile, deployable power for harsh environments (desert, Arctic, offshore) - Revenue from power systems up 19% in most recent quarter - Generators designed for environments without traditional infrastructure Best prediction: **Cummins Inc. (CMI)** — engines and power systems for mining, rail, construction, and military; Fortune Most Admired; Army generator contracts; global deployable power. Revenue growth in power segment aligns. Alternative: **Caterpillar (CAT)** — but too large and well-known to be described as a "quiet beneficiary." Alternative: **Generac Holdings (GNRC)** — but less military/mining focus. **Best fit: Cummins Inc. (CMI)** — all clues align: mining/drilling/rail/construction engines, Army mobile power contracts, Fortune Most Admired, harsh-environment deployable generators, and recent power segment revenue growth. **Confidence: Medium-High** --- **Bonus Stock #4 — The Domestic Rare Earth Company:** Clues given: - ONLY rare earth mining and processing facility in the U.S. - Department of Defense invested $400 million - 10-year DoD purchase commitment - Building a "10X Facility" to boost production capacity by 2028 - Apple signed a $500 million deal with them - CEO Tim Cook quoted on the partnership **Best prediction: MP Materials (MP)** — this is essentially confirmed by the copy. MP Materials is the only integrated rare earth mining and processing company in the U.S., has received DoD investment and purchase commitments, and Apple signed a landmark rare earth supply deal with them. The "10X Facility" language matches MP's announced production expansion plans. **Confidence: Very High — this is MP Materials (MP)** --- **Bonus Stock #5 — The Uranium Company:** Clues given: - Partnership controlling more than 544 million pounds of uranium resources - Estimated worth ~$46 billion at current uranium prices - More than 11x the company's current market cap - Includes one of the world's highest-grade undeveloped uranium projects in Canada Best prediction: **Uranium Energy Corp (UEC)** or **Denison Mines (DNN)** — both have Canadian high-grade projects. However, 544 million pounds at ~$46B implies a uranium price of ~$84/lb, and a market cap of roughly $4B. **Stronger fit: Cameco (CCJ)** — but too large and well-known. **Best fit: Denison Mines (DNN)** — has the Wheeler River project in Canada (one of the world's highest-grade undeveloped uranium deposits), partnership structures, and a market cap that would make 11x = ~$46B plausible at elevated uranium prices. Alternative: **NexGen Energy (NXE)** — Rook I project in Saskatchewan is the world's largest high-grade undeveloped uranium deposit; market cap ~$3-4B would make 11x = ~$33-44B at current prices. This fits very well. **Best fit: NexGen Energy (NXE)** — the "highest-grade undeveloped uranium project in Canada" description matches Rook I precisely. **Confidence: Medium-High**

    1. Hook Strength: 8/10 — The Louisiana Purchase opening paired with "the map of the United States is about to change again" and a $77 trillion wealth wave creates immediate, specific curiosity that will stop the target reader cold; the historical analogy framework earns attention rather than demandi
