if i get the call correctly, today should be SNGX, OTLK, CTM and ALP

Watch both Top Gun movies. The electromagnetic system that launch jets on the newest aircraft carrier…yup, $CTM manages those systems. If you somehow think that’s a “services company”… no, please by all means think it’s just that and don’t enter $CTM!

MtGloomy0420

Just so I have it here… I bought $AAPL around $245 when the RSI was like 20. I knew it would go to $300. Yesterday I liquidated a few of those shares at $310…and bought 750 more shares of $CTM! I have a few shares now ;)

ClearEconomics5062

PLTR comparison isn’t even close to accurate. They provide software which is near zero cost to scale, CTM is a services company where any revenue has a human cost to it. Also the dilution from the last 5 years has fucked up any meaningful momentum. This stock might be turning a corner, but I ain’t ready to be the Guinea pig for it

CTM quietly making moves!

kerplunktard

yep although BBAI has a $2bn mkt cap with only $120m revenue whereas $CTM is reasonably priced with $60m mkt cap & growing $60m revenue

MtGloomy0420

Holding since $.15… November 2024. I’ve read their original SEC filing I’ve done so much DD. Yes, been saying since that time that $CTM is the next $PLTR. Don’t listen to anyone that doesn’t understand! ;) Any questions?

**CTM - BUY AS MUCH AS YOU CAN** **Key recent catalysts**: * **Strong Q1 2026 results** (reported May 8): Revenue +23% YoY to $14.3M, record backlog of **$273M**, qualified pipeline of **$938M**, positive adjusted EBITDA, and significantly reduced debt. * Multiple large Navy contracts won in 2025–early 2026 (e.g., $103M, $66M, and $49.8M recompete contracts), which are ramping up and building backlog. * **Debt payoff**: The company has eliminated or drastically cut long-term debt, improving its balance sheet. * Recent stockholder meeting and positive analyst mentions (some price targets much higher, around $3.50).

I'm thinking of adding another 300 of SLNH with current prices and then I have around 600 shares of that and just forget about it. The more i looked into them, the more I think they could be a huge player in the future, this assumption is just based off gut instinct rather than what they are right now. I didn't sell IMRX and I just watched it fall and fall and in hindsight I should've and bought back in again later. I'm waiting for the June 1st and decide what to do with it after that. AMPG is interesting but I don't want to chase what has already ran up even though I don't doubt it could go up significantly more, I also don't have additional funds to invest right now. It is on my watchlist though as a potential addition to portfolio. I have bought Health in Tech a while back, over 300 shares at 2.01 and sitting at 50% loss right now. Do you think it would pay off to DCA additional 300 shares which would bring my average around 1.5$? I have realized that this company has good financials and the market seems irrational and disconnected about it like with CTM. I actually plan to hold HIT for the long term aswell believing it could be a significant player in health insurance field.

What do people think of CTM? They just had their shareholder meeting and it seems pretty bullish. Their market cap is $65mil and in 2025 they secured 3 prime contracts totalling $280 mil over 5 years. They have 15 mil cash, no debt, and are looking to M&A. They are NOT profitable, well they had a profitable quarter recently but they're usually red. There's been a big leadership change and they paid off all their debts a few months ago. It's a penny stock so yah it's risky.

EmbarrassedPart1256

Oooo good look; it could be about that time. My only concern is the insane selling pressure that’s now above. At least they didn’t dilute out the wazoo like $CTM

Thanks for your well wishes… Calm down? All I do is post, just like everyone else. I don’t use exclamation marks or rocket emojis or whatever else. I am calm, & I don’t see why it’s a problem that I share about it. Further, I don’t understand why you don’t want to hear about it anymore if you also want it to go to $8. That’s over 20x… Have you even done any DD on it or do you just see me getting downvoted & follow along? I got downvoted to shit for posting about $CTM @ $.18 before it 15x’ed in no time. FWIW, you may want to look further into $CAPS. PT: $8, source: you 🤙

EmbarrassedPart1256

I don't even look at charts 🤣 $CAPS chart is straight red. $CTM's chart was in the dumpster when I went all-in @ $.18...

Prior-Message5571

Yes, price action is the most frustrating part of CTM. They have investor conference or something like that tomorrow and maybe something comes of that as a catalyst. I think the lack of knowledge of the stock may be the issue for the price action. I think the company knows that and hired IR firm because of that but so far nothing has come of that IR firm. There is also possibility that hype means more in today's market than good fundamentals and good fundamentals is just a bonus to accelerate hype of a company that is in a hyped sector.

Get_rch_or_try_dyin

I owned CTM a while back , and made a little money on it. It just seems like the stock price is stuck for some reason. They have no debt, growing , good management. But I just don’t understand why it’s not up higher . I don’t hold a position, but I do watch it . I hope you make some money !

EmbarrassedPart1256

$CTM PR: remember to vote yes to authorize awarding us more shares for not growing the business please & thank you!

EmbarrassedPart1256

$CAPS has always been like that, with an order book that’s virtually nonexistent; the SP can jump with almost no buying because there aren’t sellers. The float’s just under 10M on paper but clearly it’s a lot less judging by the average volume (especially excluding the recent 100M day); mathematically there can’t be too many shareholders here (literally 100 people with my position size, that’s it), as this isn’t a pump & dump that everyone gets a piece of, but rather an accumulate & hold stock. Any sort of buying pressure would send it, any lack of buying pressure & it’ll dip just as easily. These tickers are volatile until there’s sustained demand. I don’t even care about the price anymore; I know the equity has value & al happy to hold it. $QXO & $CAT are great examples of quiet compounders, not flashy tech (although Capstone is literally revolutionizing their industry with a tech-first approach); infrastructure will always be relevant. QoQ, the investment thesis will become harder & harder to ignore. If you go on LinkedIn ([Instone](https://www.linkedin.com/company/instone-co-/) & [CSI](https://www.linkedin.com/company/csi-aninstonecompany/), Capstone’s operating subsidiaries), business is booming. I hadn’t realized until yesterday that [they put out a PR regarding their late ER filing](https://capstoneholdingcorp.com/capstone-holding-corp-provides-filing-timeline-for-q1-2026-results/). Now why would they do that if it were going to be bad? [$6 has always been my low-ball, starting price target](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KJNrdkTTJBX2dqwBlRSR6dgyTy6YWybm/view?usp=drivesdk). Joseph Gunnar & CO’s analysis (before Capstone acquired Canadian Stone Industries, before [all the bullish developments from this year](https://capstoneholdingcorp.com/news/), too many to recount here) is sound, not just a random number coming out of nowhere. It’s playing out in real-time if you cross-reference their business developments. This stock just doesn’t have eyes yet; when the thesis catches on, a re-rate can be violent. I experienced it first-hand with $KULR & $CTM, & $OPEN was a more recent example, a mix more sustained re-rate. The more that the ticker is mentioned, the more it will catch on. Thanks for the shoutout, & thanks for letting me share 🤙

Prior-Message5571

Decided to boost my shares with CTM after last earnings. Now have 1020 shares at 0.81 ( over 800$ investment that seems reasonable risk/reward for me). Company has backlog of almost 1B and no debt and the net loss decreased from 1.2m to 400k, apparently the CEO have stated that they do not need dilution for acquistion even though you can't neccessarily take any CEO word on things like that but hoping for the best. Also they have recently hired IR firm that apparently has a great track record. You have mentioned having this stock in the past. What is your current take on the company?

EmbarrassedPart1256

They don’t want the word to get out about $CAPS. Either that or they legitimately hate me 🤣🥲. I post about a lot of other tickers too, yet they’ll say I *only* post about $CAPS. Shilling, spamming, yapping, whatever they call it. Change your words & your mind follows. It was the same way when I called out $CTM @ $.18 which literally changed my life. I shouldn’t have let it get to me when I sold $CAPS recently right before the last pop because it would’ve been a solid swing, but you live & you learn. With everything the company has going for it, & my less exposed new position, I’m all for it. The equity has insane value IMO. Be greedy when others are fearful. Thanks for the shoutout!

Pretty sure I saw a summary on ST that traders are discussing dilution for $ONDS too; not saying it’s not a good cap, just wanted to fill you in. I’m sure it’s nowhere near $CTM’s stupid dilution…

EmbarrassedPart1256

Be careful, it’s getting pumped hard. I think I read something like the “rights” closed at $.25 & each right was a warrant for 10.4 shares so they really just diluted 170M shares at a SP of $.025. $CTM did that same bullshit, offering “units,” a share & a warrant, & you see what that dilution did to the stock.

It's pretty lame. I used to cross-post a ton & that got me banned on a few accounts, but it's not like others don't do it as well; it's literally *rampant* with pump & dumpers. It's wild how many things get pumped & $CAPS is flying under *everyone's radars.* It's worlds better than something like $AMS & I just want to spread the word! This time around, I'm pretty sure a guy on the $CTM board took it upon himself to contact ST support to get me banned. All I had been doing was stating pure facts about the stock: that there're hella options @ \~$1, that the company exists for employees not shareholders, & that they're growing at a snail's pace, not having released any material news in going on 1 year. The permabulls don't like it when you say something contrary to their precious $CTM. Alas, you all are my home now; I started off here anyways so it's nice. I appreciate you all putting up with me.

I remember 2yrs ago when CTM got pumped hard. Then it traded around 1 for a year, now it’s at .70. If you don’t want your money to do anything look into CTM.

I would say military cybersecurity Castellum ($CTM) due to them having no debt and each financial report since then, they’re making profit. They just need some spotlight which is why they hired a IR firm that has a great track record. It’s +- 0.75 cents. Another one for me is Ultra-High Purity Hydrogen, Charbone Hydrogen ($CHHYF), which has a couple of Hubs in Canada and United States. They also want to diverify to other gases but still maintain Hydrogen as the main gas. UHP hydrogen has a lot of use in semi-conductors. It’s +-0.08 cents.

Shakyinvestments

CTM - IT services, cybersecurity, high security clearances and contract pipeline. GREAT balance sheet and $15 million in cash for a nice runway. There is a dilution risk 5-19 with more share issuance being voted on. Looks like a super micro-CACI to me.

CAPS is a stone company, never gonna have as high of a P/E ratio as CTM or any tech company and they are losing money.

Mossy0602

CTM is an order of magnitude bigger than them if you look at employee count over 250 more and in a much hotter sector and they have a good relationship with old founders, that’s why he’s selling slowly not just dumping all his shares.

As someone who held $CTM previously its always a disappointment even with positive catalysts I aint gonna dabble in it again this time GL to those who wanna trade in this

What earnings? Is it going to be the same as every ER for the past however long? Fuck $CTM; I sold the whole thing & haven’t looked back, it’s a dying business. Their “backlog” is all they’ve got, no material news in going on a year. Their last PR? “They TRUST us to gender sensitive information!” …yeah, one would hope. Pretty sad when $CAPS, a stock that many on here hate, who knows why, is growing leaps & bounds compared to $CTM. They diluted the shit out of shareholders to hoard cash, meanwhile $CAPS is minimizing dilution & maximizing shareholder value. Sorry to compare the two so much; I was long on those 2 for so long that I’ve got a lot to say; back to being long on $CAPS because they’re actually growing my capital. Never again with $CTM…

IndependenceSome5989

Anyone buying CTM before the earnings

Phuffu

CTM? That’s a penny stock with no earnings and a market cap of $64m. Did you mean CMT? The multiples look cheap but it’s around a 5 year high I try to avoid buying near a 52-week high but I agree the multiples are def reasonable and I like the sector.

Update to my longshot acquisition predictions: https://www.reddit.com/r/pennystocks/s/pcfHB3weH0 I still think Anduril may acquire OPTT I now think CTM may acquire Sabre Systems, LLC I now think the "top-5" pharma company may acquire BFRG (I'm guessing Johnson & Johnson?)

I'm pretty sure a guy on the $CTM ST board took it upon himself to get me banned on my newest ST account (that's in my partner's name & has an IP address in another country 🤣).

I can't hold it overnight though so have to wait...

$VEEE’s cost to borrow is 113% & has been high for 2 weeks now. Revenue per share is $$7.45 & book value per share is $6.02 (all per YF, didn’t do solid DD). Insiders recently bought (admittedly not heavily). Why is the p/s so low? 🧐 It’s @ $.18, the magic penny stock number IMO. For me it was $CTM, for many others it was $AIXI. $ICU did an offering that tanked the share price like this last year & the gap fill was beautiful. I feel like this is one we could all slap the ask on & shake things up a bit tomorrow. What do you think?

I’m 70% long term safe (S&P500 ETF like VOO) and 30% risk. The only current stocks I have is with RKLB, HGRAF, KRKNF, CTM, and, TSM, NVDA, CHHYF. In terms of highly speculative to mid speculative, and no speculative, highly speculative is HGRAF, CTM and CHHYF for me. Only invest in highly speculative what you’re comfortable with losing.

Royal-Gene-9924

I have both CTM and RZLV. While RZLV is doing great for me, it's the exact opposite for CTM unfortunately... I didn't even DCA when it dipped below 0,50... (turns out it was a mistake) Below 0,60 might be a good entry price. I buy RZLV every time it goes below 2,55 hoping to hold until the end of next year. SLS is on my radar for a long time but couldn't buy it yet...

What will make CTM go up above a buck in the near future and avoid a reverse split?

Actually after taking a look at CTM, you may be right, and be able to make some profit, it looks like it’s about to break the loss trend.

Fun-Baby-9509

Netflix, sold and I bet you shit is gonna go green next week cause they made an AI related announcement today after earnings. Didn't wanna sell, but I rarely take in any profits since I keep reinvesting, but I wanted to throw my gains into CTM since everyone else seems to be panicking (for no reason IMO) so I inversed what the others are doing. May we both prosper.

EmbarrassedPart1256

Thanks, you too! It’s going to be a long month, just waiting for the first dividend to come (ideally I’d like a monthly one but monthly payers aren’t usually the best stocks, it seems). I’ve tried swinging my one holding, $RITM, daily but I always time it wrong even if I planned it right before the market opens. The fluctuations mess with my mind. Something I read last night sad there are studies about how those who don’t touch anything make out better than those who do, it’s just hard when it’s all I look at all day. I’m curious what your “number” would be, to consider taking the plunge & living off of doing this. I can also share mine; it was definitely a bit unrealistic when I started but with a few all-in YOLO plays I got to a pretty solid amount. FWIW, for anyone who wants to live off of trading, if their situation allows it, I highly recommend living abroad in any number of countries that allow you to live off of much less than in the US. Latin America & Southeast Asia come to mind & have been good to me, the only thing about SEA being that the markets are open overnight & it destroyed my sleep schedule. If only I’d cashed in on $CTM at the top… life would be different. But again, as a minimalist living in a place where the USD exchange rate is pretty favorable, it’s an alright setup.

Cough cough $CTM; yes

EmbarrassedPart1256

The post about “backlog” being BS was removed by mods. I posted a big fat comment about how $CTM’s backlog gets hyped up when it means nothing; most of it is unfunded. QoQ growth is minuscule, & insiders are selling nonstop (or being awarded options).

EmbarrassedPart1256

PREACH! I’ve gotten so much slack for pushing back on $CTM bulls about just this. A backlog means nothing; they’re literally “backed up.” Their contract PR headlines are misleading as the quoted revenue is always over 5 years. Their offerings are also misleading, quoting “units” (a share & a warrant) instead of shares. They diluted shareholders to shit to hoard cash & not reinvest into the business’ growth. My god, I’m so happy to be done with that, even if I sold the low; I still 6xed my net worth in 1.5 years with the trade. NEXT…

EmbarrassedPart1256

Good for you! I want to get a few solid trades to have free shares like that. $CTM was mine but holding it was a waste of time & money tbh.

EmbarrassedPart1256

Not really, just looking to let it cook, but it seems overdue for a pop; the volatility could come out of nowhere. There’s no noncompliance FUD (that I felt with $CAPS) & it’s trading at an insane discount to its value on paper. I still like the idea of $CAPS but later on, or I’ll wait til it’s running. With SEC protections dwindling & NASDAQ noncompliance approaching, I wanted to be able to sleep at night until $CAPS is ready to move. These $ITP shares feel pretty risk-off; I’ working on not over-exposing myself while maintaining an “all-in” approach. It’s similar to what I felt buying $CTM @ $.18; $.18 feels like the magic number as you can get a decent amount of shares for cheap.

EmbarrassedPart1256

Seriously congrats to anyone who got in on $AIXI below $.18! That’s like my $CTM play, only I didn’t take profits at the top. Who knows where the top will be with this one, but be sure to take profits! Why do I feel like $ITP could make similar moves? China* is a manufacturing giant & supply chains are getting all kinds of reworked, I’m sure. ITP’s leases & equipment alone are worth far more than its MC. If this get a boost in any way, this would re-rate hard. *I don’t usually think twice about Chinese stocks but have watched this one for a while now. Even with their late filing notice of their 10-K the price has remained stable.

EmbarrassedPart1256

I feel you; I’ve been holding $CTM & $CAPS for ages. It felt nice to cut them; these things are meant to be traded, or at least make sure your money is working for you

# An example of why I believe CTM's share price is egregiously low. ONDS: (\~$9.50 per share) * \~$25M revenue (TTM), but growing fast * Still losing a lot of money * Huge valuation (like… very high price-to-sales) * Basically a bet on future growth (drones, defense tech, etc.) CTM: (.63 per share) * \~$50M revenue, so about 2x ONDS right now * Also not profitable, but losses are less extreme relative to size * Way lower valuation (like \~2x sales vs ONDS being insanely high) * More of a steady gov/cyber/IT services play **Main difference to me:** ONDS is priced like it’s going to be a major player in the future. CTM is priced like the market doesn’t really care about it. So it kind of comes down to: * ONDS = high growth, high expectations, high risk * CTM = lower expectations, already doing more revenue, but less hype Keep in mind, CTM will be acquiring another company in the near future so the argument that they are not in as high of a growth sector could change soon. Also, Glen Ives is in the process of hiring a PR firm. P.S. I like the stock.

$CTM was already being pinned & played with by the algos. I just added 200k shares fuel to their fire AH yesterday. Insiders (crooks) loaded in at an absolute discount. I hope it drops below $.45 so others can get in.

EmbarrassedPart1256

They’ve been PRing positive earnings in Q2 which wouldn’t show til the ER August 15, 2026. They’ve been talking up an earnings presentation for 2 whole months now. Their “profitability” is EBITDA, the D debt being incredibly high. They’re facing NASDAQ noncompliance, for minimum bid price at least. If the price goes low enough they’ll be below NASDAQ’s minimum value of listed securities threshold. They’re voting to make that grounds for instant delisting after 30 consecutive days below the threshold (even though one day above would reset it). They recently reincorporated the company in Nevada, a state known for protecting corporations & not shareholders. They’re grifting money through preferred shares & “consulting” fees with every business decision that’s done. And now they file an extension, that they got the goodwill wrong on their acquisitions (potentially overpaid)? I’m sorry, but it was the last straw. It’s a September play for me now, a wait & see. It was always a high-risk, high-reward loss to offset my $CTM gains. I decided to cash in on everything, as rash & poorly-timed as it probably was. I sold the dip but I’m not confident in things anymore. I’m sorry I misled you & I’m sure it’ll pop now that I sold out.

EmbarrassedPart1256

$CTM really just rocketed $.10 after I sold today. I’m tired of being dependent on that shit company. Others can buy it up all they want; it’s growing nowhere.

EmbarrassedPart1256

Probably just sold the bottom of $CTM, no fucks given. They can have their slow-moving company.

EmbarrassedPart1256

Safest place to be. Too bad I can’t eve sell my $CTM shares because the taxes would destroy my gains, just watching that one.

EmbarrassedPart1256

Yeah, I’m fine 🤙 Are you all? $CAPS is a screaming buy & has been since November & yet it doesn’t come up on anyone’s scanners? You don’t think there’s a reason for that? Keeping the RSI above oversold conditions, the low volume scares people away, whatever else. You’ve gotta jump in to swim. This has all the catalysts (& more coming) in their PRs; I just don’t know how it’s not one that we unite around. The same thing happened when I called out that I had bought 723k shares of $CTM.

EmbarrassedPart1256

Listen to Orange Codex - guy knows a thing or 2. I’d been calling out $CTM being diluted to shit for forever & look where it is now. Dilution always sets in… if there’s no catalyst, that is. As $CAPS coverts its debt it’s improving the balance sheet 🤙

EmbarrassedPart1256

Me too; I’ve just been waiting for an entry on some things I watch but watching my other things ($CTM) go down makes me hesitate to risk any cash.
