CTM

EmbarrassedPart1256

I think a spike to put them on the map & then settling down to a level a few multiples higher than current valuation is reasonable, a lot like what happened to $CTM (although it's continuing to bleed, as they're not growing the business like $CAPS is). I keep going back to what happened to $OPEN a year ago, & I don't care if I'm crazy. With \~21M shares OS, a huge portion controlled by insiders/institutions, there can't be too many people along for the ride with me, even after dilution. The stock is barely even traded; a couple thousand of today's volume was from me, & I accidentally sold 1K too 🤣 damn Schwab interface & trying to trade while working. I really don't think the dilution risk is that high; they're approaching a self-sustaining (by organic cash flow) business & have had the debt in check for a while now. Who knows? Maybe they used the recent dilution to pay off some of their debt & are just dragging their feet on a PR about it. There haven't been going concerns in their ERs for a while now; check out [page 19 of the most recent one](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0000887151/000143774926027150/caps20260630_10q.htm). Then again, I'm not really trying to sell you on this, but I appreciate you taking me seriously when I've gotten a lot of shade from this one in the past. There're a lot of way worse businesses on the NASDAQ with way better valuations than $CAPS'; that's where this starts, & I'm being greedy when others are fearful. I want 50-100K shares & hopefully can get there...

Meh. Made a quick 400 off CTM this morning. Let’s see what else is making moves.

Narradisall

Put CTM on the watch list but wasn’t watching it. So naturally it’s on the up now. Where to waste my money today….

EmbarrassedPart1256

Wild how a stock like $COOT can pop off & $CAPS just lies dormant. I'm telling you all, it's a diamond in the rough. While the dot-com bubble was raging, $CAT was quietly compounding in the background, becoming one of the powerhouses of the market over time. After their CSI acquisition, CSI employees were saying ([in this video](https://youtu.be/G3f1ImGNg64?si=gN1YBzkwzXJs8guK)) how they looked for Capstone to be the dominant player in the industry for decades to come. In summer 2024, $CTM looked eerily similar: thinly-traded (high insider ownership), bleak chart, low institutional interest, low investor interest/social sentiment *with no bad news* other than some debt. $CAPS is growing far quicker than $CTM & any sort of elimination of their debt, although dilutive, would cause a paradigm shift in this stock. Be greedy when others are fearful. NFA

EmbarrassedPart1256

Going into September, you may want to check out $CAPS. $CTM was flat-lined just like this, @ \~$.18-.20 for months, with nothing but good news. I saw value (& an explosive share structure) where others saw nothing. $CTM’s sentiment on ST was also pretty down in the dumps at that time. [I think $CAPS’ business is a lot stronger than $CTM’s too](https://www.reddit.com/r/pennystocks/s/tONtXPgM62). I’ve been DCAing for a bit now, since the earnings selloff, trying to only average down & not get too carried away with shares so cheap. It’s interesting when the ask disappears sometimes & goes from, say, $.1885 to $.20. *That thin trading & hollow order book is the same thing I saw in $CTM.* Breaking key levels on bullish sentiment & allowing them to convert the rest of their debt would lead to a legendary PR, as would getting over $1 in terms of NASDAQ compliance. It’s very similar to $OPEN’s setup IMO. (I think they’re trying to trigger NASDAQ MVLS noncompliance too, which I saw would *not* mean immediate delisting for now, so it’d be another cure period at play)

EmbarrassedPart1256

Another part I mentioned above, $OPEN did a move to eliminate debt at rock-bottom prices & the stock skyrocketed. I guess having Eric Jackson pumping it helped. I don’t want to wait until someone latches onto this to buy in, as I believe the equity has incredible value, even with the debt load. They’re steadily paying it down & converting it, & are EBITDA-positive, with record revenues & margin expansion. I believe this is the bottom & the RS will not become an issue for a while. $CTM was in the dumps all summer until I bought in in November 2024 & once people noticed it it re-rated 15x. I’m not saying an identical move is coming for $CAPS (although it did for $AIXI on the possibility of a payment from Apple), but the setup is incredibly similar. StockTwits sentiment was equally in the dumps for $CTM before it changed. It’s not that hard to buy up a lot of shares of this company. I see the reasoning behind management maintaining their controlling stake.

EmbarrassedPart1256

I was almost falling back to sleep & then I shot up. $CAPS will get bought out; all the ingredients are there IMO. Durable moat/near monopoly, suppressed share price, restated financials. Matt Lipman comes from UBS & has history with M&A. If not a buyout, it *will* run. I’m not going to miss it. I don’t care if I’m the only one; I was with $CTM & it changed my life. $CAPS business is way more solid than $CTM & the float is a lot smaller. This could make an $OPEN move; that was right around September when it popped off 🥸

EmbarrassedPart1256

I made \~$2.3M in unrealized gains on $CTM & didn’t take profits because I thought it was a solid business worth holding; I was also worried about paying half of it in taxes, even though that’s still stupid gains. I sold off various amounts over time & still ended with 5x my original net worth but I’d have a lot less worries if I had just pulled the trigger at the top. I blew a lot of money chasing that high & somehow missed out on all the major moves, all of them; the ones I got in with conviction destroyed my account. It’s been a learning process, acceptance, etc. getting a job again has helped me as I don’t have to think about only making money back in the market.

CTM

EmbarrassedPart1256

...trimming $CAPs; not too hype about a net loss, but revenue is blowing $CTM's out of the water & way less shares 🤙

Narradisall

Anyone thinks CTM was oversold? Seems to have bottomed out (famous last words) so considering throwing some money at it.

EmbarrassedPart1256

Thanks for the shoutout! It's definitely looking locked up but I'll be watching if someone slaps it down, have more cash on the sidelines foe this one... I had to separate the 2 comments so that the $SBS/$CIG one didn't get downvoted into oblivion 🤣 I probably could've trimmed a bit more of $CAPs above $.30 but I'm just chilling for now. (Full disclosure I fully expect them to sell shares on the ER pop as there're filings for it but it's clear that the shares get locked up quickly because then the stock becomes volatile to the downside after ERs. The ER volume has been WAY above average if you look back, so the dilution, likely to fund acquisitions, as they're not at risk of bankruptcy, is really insignificant, IMO. At some point the thesis should/could stick & this stock will re-rate higher IMO; there're a lot shittier stocks trading a lot higher, cough cough $CTM)

EmbarrassedPart1256

I also mentioned **$BUSM** yesterday, an interesting ETF that holds $CTM among a bunch of other seeming bangers. I think it'd be a good default for my Roth as I make trading gains/contributions.

EmbarrassedPart1256

As much shit as I've talked about $CTM in the past day from their earnings, I'm starting a small position here as this selloff is juicy...

benjaminbuttskin

Does CTM ever see $1 again? Been climbing a bit before earnings.

$CTM quietly making moves.

$CTM looks to be on a nice path and decent uptrend forming into earnings.

Cybernator1

CTM for sure. I cant load the boat fast enough. They gonna leave me.

EmbarrassedPart1256

I mean that's the closest thing to a catalyst I've seen for a while now, watching this company off & on for almost half a year at this point. On paper it looks pretty solid even if it's being priced for bankruptcy; even depreciating their assets in a sale would likely yield a higher cost per share than what it is now. If there's any mention of restarting the part of their business that they put on hold (I forget what it is but there're 3 parts to their business) or any sort of trend in the right direction, I think investor confidence could shift abruptly. Add in the fact that it's Chinese & low-float, things like that have been popping off recently. I don't have too much in it right now (damn, my account is down so much I don't have too much in general 🤣) but again, I feel like this is about as low as it'll go. $.18 & being on the NYSE are like magical qualities in my opinion; it's what $CTM was like before I full-ported it & it changed my life. I think $CAPS is approaching a similar setup daily, but that's another story entirely; I wish I had more money to justify playing around with these stocks but that was a different time. I may take a larger stake in $CAPS with my main portfolio to FAFO, though, nothing too crazy... Thanks for letting me share! 🤙

Idk what the hell is wrong with CTM ... everything looks nice ... the numbers are clean ... but just keeps going down

johnnyshots22

CTM could be next

johnnyshots22

I am still holding bro. I think they are chasing out stop losses and shak7ng out the weak hands before the next leg up. I set a sell price of $2.30. Bought CTM also at .66 about 10 minutes ago. O debt war stock.

johnnyshots22

No problem my friend. Buying CTM now.

Rare-Ad-1204

CTM, no debt, 17M+- cash, good quarterly's, etc...

LordKermit2

It worked for me in the beginning of last year. The market was good back then and pennystocks like KULR, LAES, Rigetti, SIDU, CTM, OPTT, RVSN, REKR, and so many others went wild. It was a good time I remember I put in about 4k across these stocks and was up 40k at some point. I came back to the stock market and pennystocks and now it’s way more difficult and you have to be more selective. Back then everything you touched turned into gold lol

I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I'm gonna load 100 shares of $CTM to DCA, set & forget type of thing. [They recently PR'ed](https://investors.castellumus.com/news/news-details/2026/Castellum-to-Present-at-Maxim-Group-Defense-Tech-and-Domestic-Supply-Chain-Virtual-Conference-on-June-25/default.aspx) that they're going to a Maxim pump & dump defense conference. The two typos at the front & center of [their IR page](https://investors.castellumus.com/overview/default.aspx) still blow my mind... "Our unique capabilities...***give us unique capabilities*** to ***DELIVERY*** comprehensive solutions?" https://preview.redd.it/mdkekghuh79h1.png?width=1812&format=png&auto=webp&s=96c8a22836d24c4e235ad5c35020f84647cea9a6

LordKermit2

Damn what happened to pennystocks lol. I remember they were poppin off back in early 2025. I made so much off of Rigetti, LAES, KULR, CTM, and so many good call outs. Walked away with 40k in gains but now it seems like a ghost town. Wtf did I miss 😂

EmbarrassedPart1256

If only I’d sold every share of $CTM when it ripped instead of babying/obsessing over it for 2 more years. You live & you learn.

VBTheBearded1

Any CTM believers still here? Is there any hope for the stock? 

EmbarrassedPart1256

Shit, I’d take the whole thing. A friend of mine got caught up waiting on $CTM, watched a lot of gains go away. We believed, but it was a hell of a long ride; gains could’ve been compounded many times over since then instead of stuck. I could’ve retired my partner & moved us to another country just on investing in real estate alone, & be living more than comfortably off of dividends & doing a lot of good (my goal in life); now we live comfortably but she isn’t yet comfortable leaving work nor do we have a ton of excess to give away (I don’t have a job/trade for a living & want to keep the account growing to an extent). I usually look at it like this: if it’s more than you’d earn in a day/week/year, it’s worth cashing in on. I’m all about the gains & cash these days. Stocks are the means to the end, but real things, like your son, are what really matter in this life. You can’t buy food, etc for him with stocks. If it dropped then you’d be able to buy less. Not financial advice of course.

My back of the napkin DD has it looking like a dog. Do you think it will get a bump just from a renewed US Iran war or is there something else that can give it momentum? Just trying to figure out the play. I’ve done ok with options but the only penny stock I have experience with is CTM

I will not freebase cocaine…I won’t do it! Going to be traveling today & tomorrow so I may not get much of a chance to trade; I may just load $RDGT & let it cook. Let’s see what I can get into in the PM. https://preview.redd.it/cfzdom34bm7h1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d35d8969e0ded969b24fb07b348be98b2d628c4 Peep the $CTM IR homepage; they literally don’t give a fuck. Even though I brought it to their attention, asking them if they’re proud of having this fucked up of an intro. They’ve since changed Tammy’s bio & post news, but yet need a “web overhaul” to fix blatant typos? Asking repeatedly, no one ever told me how these JVs financially affect Castellum, how the money is split. I’d have to see a lot more of those $250M headlines to get excited. That’s potential revenue, likely over 5 years: $250M/2 (assuming the JV is 50/50) is $125M. Assuming a \~10% margin that’s $12.5M, divide by 100M shares that’d be OS with all the employee options & that’s added value of \~$.10-.12/share… in one year. And again, that $250M is the ceiling, not guaranteed.

EmbarrassedPart1256

Do you mind elaborating on your rules? I went with $CTM & $NIXX PM but should’ve known the gap up would fill with $NIXX. Luckily I made back my losses & then some, but maybe stock selection would help me minimize (eliminate?) losses.

I gotta imagine CTM has plenty of bagholders around the $1.20-$1.30 area from any of its multiple pumps over the last year. Might be hard to get through that.

Cue $CAPS; same thing happened with $CTM 🤙 just waiting on the right entry at this point with NASDAQ noncompliance needing to be addressed. It’d been popping on each ER recently, just hasn’t had sustained interest (yet)

EmbarrassedPart1256

If the administration announces investing in either $CTM or $BBAI, I’m loading the boat with them; I’m not missing another $INTC $IBM opportunity. As they’re penny stocks they could go a lot farther too. Until that, I’m not touching $CTM with a 10’ pole. I’ve sold some $2 $BBAI puts if anyone wants to drop the price that far 🤙 Also check out $NU, one I think is expensive right now, but the company is solid. I sold some $5 puts on that in case it wants to go back to being a penny stock.

dreamkanteen

Im honestly not sure. For the past 2+ years I've been obsessively checking my portfolio every day. I sold off my RKLB and feel a huge weight off my shoulders. I have since bought VEQT, some blue chip Canadian dividend stocks, and a position in MDA and CTM. I haven't checked my overall balance in a while. Im gonna see if I can go until the end of summer without checking. Its all in my TFSA so I don't have room to DCA anyways.

But the ownership structure gives me pause. Heavy founder/family concentration at the top, and the institutional names you see (Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street) are just index trackers — not active conviction buys. For me the real bull signal would be seeing active fund managers start building positions in the 13F filings. Until then I'm watching from the sideline with a small starter position.
