From <$1M to $20M in 3 months. This is the most INSANE chart I’ve ever seen. The story of a 30 year old professor, Steve_Zissouu2. (STORYTIME THREAD)
1/ His account just hit $20M across Roth, HSA, brokerage, and traditional accounts. $2.5M gain in a single day. Chart straight vertical. So how’d he do it? Conviction. Derivatives. And a sector almost no one touched.
2/ His style: Builds delta-forward strategies Adds theta plays near price targets Uses vega as a “sweetener” Self-described as: “The most risk-tolerant person I know, and it shows in my trades.”
3/ The thesis sparked in 2025 when he saw Trump fixating on critical minerals. Most people shrugged. He went all in on research: - Executive orders - Hedge fund positioning - Cabinet filings - Bipartisan reports - China’s 80–90% monopoly over processing + export controls “The
4/ His first big break: MP Materials ($MP). He loaded before the Pentagon + Apple deal. That’s what launched him into his first few millions. The chart shows it: his account swinging between $500K and $1M multiple times. He held.
5/ After MP, he rotated to fill the gaps in the chain: - Heavy rare earths → $UUUU - Midstream → $UURAF - Titanium processing → $IPX - Lithium & recycling → $ABAT - Nickel (partnered with TSLA) → $TLOFF Conviction + diversification = full exposure to the critical minerals
6/ His DD on r/TheRaceTo10Million laid it all out: Trump’s EO “Unleashing American Energy” → prioritizing critical minerals Federal stake in TechMet, the private firm leading Western supply chains Alignment across Trump, Lauder, Menell, Pentagon, DOE, DFC, and allies
7/ Today he’s sitting on $20M. From <$1M to $20M in just a few months. Straight conviction + political macro reading.
