They also already have Femaseed (a noninvasive IVF alternative product) FDA approved in the US and another device that works with the FemCath. Sales are slow but they have been selling products in EU. They had a standardized international review for FemBloc that is supposed to streamline approval in some countries. FemBloc is already selling in some parts of EU. Reverse split risk will increase closer to June, hoping that March earnings hypes it. I've been building a position for a year. Close to break-even right now, but it's down from over $1 highs.

Not just EVs, but NMC 811 batteries in general. Nickel demand is going to soar. Nickel is common, so supply will also soar, but it's still an area of intense strategic focus. The EU is also boosting internal mining and processing across 47 sites.

i bought in 2020 during pandemic. stopped obsessively looking due to it being like a gambling addiction like waking up to check EU market opening and again for east coast US opening. the idea was because at that time AMD had just produced the first 7nm cpu and intel at that time were stuck at 14nm +++++ for 4 to 5 years snot improving. Writing was on the wall even Linus tech was saying buy the stock lol i dont put much into a tech youtuber but after finding out amd didnt even make their own cpus thats why i heavily invested into TSMC after learning what they did and who they made it for... Again it was more about what was going at that time i didnt bother looking at who made tsmc machines so that was a fumble on my part also not investing into ASML

I’m asking myself the same question - I’m from EU

Wind and solar already match fossil fuels in the EU energy mix. They are also less allergic to nuclear than we are in North America. And again, the trend matters. The EU trend is rising. The America trend is falling. I didn't say this would not be short-term painful for the EU. It's going to be short-term painful for everyone. But US markets already underperformed in 2025 and it's silly to think they're going to outperform in 2026 as none of the contributors to 2025's underperformance are getting better (many are getting worse). But listen, guys like me can't make money in the markets without guys like you, so fill your boots.

EU in talks with Iran about a hormuz deal… what can go wrong

FU888

Again because: Absence of SEC filings not the main issue. If you read the whole report then you can see the narrative vs reality. "**The narrative pushed to retail investors** (via HydroGraph's website, investor deck, GlobeNewswire PRs, LinkedIn/X updates, conferences, and retail forums) is classic "graphene moonshot" hype: * **"Leading commercial manufacturer"** of the purest (99.8%) graphene using revolutionary, eco-friendly detonation tech (Hyperion system) "unlocking the promise of graphene for the world," "highest quality at greatest cost efficiency," "industry first" for consistent batches at scale. * **Regulatory wins = immediate market unlock**: US EPA TSCA approval + UK/EU REACH clearances (announced Feb 24, 2026) mean "commercial scale graphene sales" are now possible across North America/Europe; "three key milestones that meaningfully expand our commercial markets." * **Scaling explosion**: New Austin, TX headquarters + second production facility (LOI with major industrial gas supplier); building more reactors; "centralized production" targeting "hundreds of tons" capacity; low-capex model could deliver "$100M+ sales" from $10-15M investment. Texas = "central hub" for US ops. * **Customer/revenue ramp**: 60+ active customer programs (auto, defense, composites, lubricants, concrete, etc.); "larger purchase orders and long-term supply agreements" imminent; "first contracts expected"; partnerships (GEIC Tier 1, Hubron, etc.) will drive explosive growth in 2026. * **Financing validation**: Recent C$30M LIFE offering closed March 5, 2026 (at C$5.10/unit) proves strong demand and funds the "Texas scale-up." Market cap run-up reflects "year of transition" to profitability. Retail sentiment (forums, X) often amplifies this into "DoD/defense plays," "revenue explosion 2026," and "superior to competitors." **The reality from official filings** (latest SEDAR+ MD&A for FY ended Sept 30, 2025 dated Jan 27, 2026 + Q1 ended Dec 31, 2025 filed March 2026; financial statements; OTC uploads): * **Revenue**: Still negligible. FY2025 total sales = **$43,051** (up from $6k prior year). Q1 FY2026 = **$19,685** (mostly small research quantities/services). Inventory produced to date: \~500 kg. No major/long-term contracts or meaningful product revenue. * **Losses & cash burn**: FY2025 net loss = **$8.15M** (worse than prior $5.3M). Q1 loss = **$3.15M**. Operating cash outflow: \~$4.8M (FY) / $2.5M (Q1). Accumulated deficit now **$26.5M**. Never generated profit or positive cash flow from operations. * **Production status**: One operational Hyperion reactor (10 tonnes/year theoretical capacity) in Kansas since 2023. Two additional reactors under construction (Jan 2026) for validation before possible Texas move. Texas "production facility" = early LOI + Austin HQ lease/leasehold improvements only **no commercial output yet**. All inventory costs are expensed (no capitalization). * **Dilution**: Shares outstanding exploded to **\~340–347 million** (weighted average 333M in Q1). FY2025 + subsequent: multiple private placements, warrant/option exercises, and the recent C$30M raise (adding \~5.88M new shares + warrants). Heavy ongoing dilution to fund burn. * **Liquidity & risks**: Explicit "material uncertainty related to going concern" in every MD&A. Survival depends on continued equity raises; "no assurance" of funding or commercial success. Risks include scaling execution, market adoption, competition, regulatory conditions, and need for more capital. * **Outlook language**: "Expect" larger orders "within calendar 2025" (didn't materialize at scale); "targeting" Texas expansion; clearances "enable" pursuit of agreements but cautious, no quantified revenue guidance or timelines for profitability. **Bottom line, the gap**: The retail story sells **"we are a commercial graphene producer scaling now with regulatory green lights and big contracts coming"** (positioning it as ready for multi-billion markets). The filings paint tiny sales, accelerating losses, heavy dilution, and all future growth still "expected" and fully dependent on perfect execution + more raises.

Bear on oil. China has an estimated 300 day supply of oil. India and others are going to get oil from Russia as the U.S. lifts penalties. The US has oil but will lift the Jones Act so we can move it around easier. A bigger play may be LNG that comes out of the Middle East. The EU and several critical Asian partners need LNG more than oil. The wildest play may be Helium (yes, the gas). It is critical to semiconductor manufacturing. Approximately 50% of the helium used in semiconductor manufacturing comes from Qatar, straight across the Strait of Hormuz from Iran. Black Swan play may be drones. It’s estimated that the U.S. is two to three generations behind Russia, China and Ukraine in drone tech. They need to ramp up fast as conventional missile systems are too expensive and slow to manufacture. If Hormuz remains closed for another couple weeks, this could trigger Covid-like global supply chain issues. Oil goes into everything and LNG powers manufacturing. Helium is needed for semiconductors.

Crazy_Donkies

Sustained oil prices are actually worse for the EU and east Asia. Given how they source their oil and Asia being manufacturers.  America will be impacted, but we are more of a service and technology nation, get little LNG from anywhere, and a major net exporter of oil.  I'm not saying I'm only investing in America, because of other risks.  I'm just not sure there's a clear "relative safest place."

Exactly this. The implications of being a tax resident in the EU (not trivial). Not to mention it is never truly a passive investments, it’s work. With me currently managing it (leasing, maintenance), I’m getting an ROI of 7.9% on the duplex—over time in the markets that money could be closer to 10% roi.

You won the game already. Given your goals to retire in EU, you have a $700k nest egg (I assume you have other assets as well) and you could access it close to if not entirely tax free on sale. Long term US treasuries are yielding close to 4% right now if you wanted to replace the income.

It's literally only in interest of Israel and several Arab States. So you have whole EU, India, China and notable part of US citizenry that will not benefit from that in any way but will pay the costs. Of course a ton of internet is angry.

The problem is, I don't think I'll be moving back. **In fact, I'm hoping to retire early in the EU, in the next 5 years.** With 700k in equity, 3 years to take the primary exemption, real estate rolling over in many markets, and a plan to retire overseas within 5 years I would say that selling is the right choice. Rental real estate is an investment. Have you calculated your ROI based on a 16,800 annual income on that holding?

Tesla factory at this rate? Never. India is extremely protective of its automotive industry. Just like german or American automakers heavily influence on policy, so do india's. India has had 80 to 110% tariff on imported cars, so tesla never went through with selling imported cars and building charging infra for the selling tiny amount of heavily overpriced cars. India wanted them to build factory there, but Tesla wouldn't invest in the manufacturing without probing the market response. It was a bit of chicken and egg problem. Now India's ev appetite has grown and charging infra is building up, Tesla isn't as competitive or profitable. It doesn't even want to be a car company. It took musk being in US govt for India to make token policy about reducing import fee. But, if ev import is allowed, china will flood the market. And US tariff made India sign FTA with EU to reduce import duty very gradually to 10% in specific conditions.

alexacto

The geopolitics look terrible right now, with long term outlook showing long term damage to Saudi and Oman oil fields and Hormuz closed for the foreseeable future. This will depress EU market industries and consumption even worse than Asian ones. With tariffs still in place and layoffs everywhere, the large picture looks grim for the next 2-3 years at least.

RemarkableVictory990

So this Russia thing is like the equivalent of 2 days of the strait being closed do they expect them to buy more oil or smthing thought the EU already said fuck that

And we dont want that. We want to have some space for democracy outside of europe, too.

basementdweller263

Yep, they’re basically “VOO for Europeans.” VOO is the US listed Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, but EU brokers usually can’t sell it (PRIIPs). VUSA and VUAA are UCITS versions that track the same index, just different share classes: VUSA pays dividends out, VUAA reinvests (accumulating). If you’re young and holding long term, VUAA is usually the simpler set and forget pick. SPYL and iShares are fine too, the main differences are distributing vs accumulating, TER, and fund size/liquidity.

TheBestintheWest11

because they want Iran to attack the homeland. Congress will 100 percent give trump everything he wants to retaliate back without the support of the UN, EU and NATO.

MaleCowShitDetector

Yes and ... it's also the fact that over 40% of nitrogen fertilizers (and others too) flows through that strait, with the other major exporters being Russia primarily. But you also have Canada as a net exporter and... China. Obviously both Canada and Russia are not having the best relations with the US. Same goes for China which actually restricted exports of fertilizer. North and South America are net importers as well as most Asian countries. This planting season you have in mind is until May. It has nothing to do with war creating food scarcity. It is related to LNG, but usually importers of LNG dont produce much fertilizer... Exporters do. However this is one of those things, that fall under a lot of control. EU can easily cap the price and if they do it well, it becomes due to rising energy and shipping costs very expensive to move fertilizer to other countries that might pay more. Russia might be unsactioned, it's one of the reasons why the US was pushing for a peace deal with Ukraine. They knew they'd have to take on Iran. Which would complicate oil, gas and fertilizer prices. But here's the thing: Reddit would make you believe that Iran can fight in the Strait of Hormuz for months. And now CF is priced for about 6 months worth of fighting. But that's not the case. I won't comment how I know, you can either believe me or don't that's up to you. All I'm gonna say is that my source is the fact that I live in Israel.

EU market is much different than US. EU roads are much smaller, and the cheapest gas in Europe is still more expensive than the most expensive American gas. In addition, EU tends to gatekeep driving much more than the US does from the tests to inspections. I'm only really vaguely familiar with UK stuff though. Main thing though is that the roads are much smaller, so it pushes a lot of cars buying to the very small side.

RUOFFURTROLLEH

Because the EU never got involved in the wars in the middle east? Beside the EU/UK/US what else is there of the West?

RareGuarantee3532

issue is that 30% of these reserves are stored behind Hormuz, and about 100K barrels are in range or Iranian missiles :) whats left correspond to 10 days of whats currently lost, its mostly communication and rip-off Asian and EU countries that will give their reserves :D

MrTemecula

Countries that have capacity to increase oil production are sitting in the Middle East. Venezuela is a wreck. Will the EU give Russia a pass? I doubt it. Will they fire up the Permian Basin, maybe? Brazil? This isn't about production. It's about the Strait of Hormuz being effectively closed.

CrunchyFishNChips

What about protection by ships from countries not at war with Iran (EU for instance). While it does not solve the throuput issue, Iran could think twice before attacking those ships?

2CommaNoob

Yep; China can weather $200 oil better than anyone in Asia. Who’s really fucked and desperate is Japan and South Korea, judging by the way their markets reacted last week. Japan has Déjà vu lol. Blocking the strait is akin to the oil embargo during ww2. They won’t can’t touch Russian oil, US can’t divert much to them and EU has none to divert.

wearahat03

He's not wrong. US is the largest oil producer. Many developed countries restricted oil production due to climate change goals. The higher the price of oil, the more profitable it becomes to produce - Asia and EU need oil. If OPEC nations can't export their oil, then that leaves a big market for nations that can export oil and have the capacity to increase production.

Breaking: 🥭 launches tariff investigations into EU, Mexico, China and others — suspecting it will "uncover a variety of unfair trading practices."

Lost_in_Torontoh

Also have to understand the vast strategic reserve. EU ( government and private ) holds close to 1.8b barrels and USA around 410m barrels. The world daily consumption is 100m a day. At 20% cut that's 20m a day needed to keep up with the demand which is around 110 days, not including production increase during this time.

WickOfDeath

Here in this sub people would only say you can create passive income by long/short option strategies on SPY or QQQ (both SP500 ETF). Options are risk level 7 (in the EU), ETF are 3. 7 means a total loss can happen where 3 means that there is a slight downside risk.

arstarsta

Oil is a commodity so it will always be market price. If there is a tariff the US will buy oil from India and EU will buy Canadian oil instead of from India. Everyone get more transport cost and no one benefits.

imunfair

Given oil is fungible it doesn't really do anything to oil prices to stop specific destinations. The only way this has an impact is if by US/Israel/Europe they mean they're blocking all shipments from US allied nations that pump their oil to the Persian Gulf (UAE, Qatar, etc). If those nations can sell to India it's the same to the market as if they're selling to the US. Basically Iran is either just virtue signalling and can't or don't want to actually impact the neighboring nations to hurt the global oil market, or they're silly like the EU leaders and their never ending sanction plans that do nothing.

SergeantSmash

EU getting so fucked it cant take it anymore, atleast Israel and US are hoping to get something out of this, EU is just getting fucked for free.

No_Mercy_4_Potatoes

>Is this Iran sanctioning the West? US and Israel are obvious. The EU is also deserved, because instead of condemning US Israeli attacks, they were condemning Iran's retaliation against gulf states and put on additional sanctions. But I hope Iran lets Spanish tankers through, cause that is the only based nation in the EU with a spine.

Tyras2000

The EU only imports 3-5% of oil from countries that use the strait. It is the Asian countries (Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan....) that depend on the traffic through Hormuz.

MasochisticHedgehog

Russia would sell more to EU if it could. It's a bluff. Right now most of the russian oil going to EU goes to Hungary and Slovakia anyway, so that's a non-issue.

USA is to be blamed for it. Trump single handedly pushed EU away from USA and brought China and india closer. Win win win.

Keeltoodeep

The EU also doesn’t really like Iran’s military support of Russia.

Stirbmehr

They won't just sit. But not like that can do much. Not in timeline that needed. Political bickering alone gonna take many months, especially in EU. Look at map of Iran, look at state of modern drone warfare. Yeah, good luck with that. One need some absurd defence all the way around Hormuz with multiple kilometres depth. Boots on ground, bases, full time naval and air presence. It billions after billions wfter billions and straigh up years of defence architecture.And still it won't be perfect, couple motivated jackasses with drone boats, which hardly detectable, and shipment paused for months again. It way easier to negotiate this thing, because any concessions gonna cost much less and will be much less damaging than consequences of escalation.

Stirbmehr

Well, it two folded news anyway. Sure it will give some wiggle room, but same time it obvious sign that it ain't ending any time soon. Morality, legality and whatever else aside - even if US crancks up production domestically, pump all living hell out of Venezuela and EU begrudgingly opens up to Russian oil again - it won't be as fast as needed and won't cover demand sufficiently enough. Not even mentioning global logistics going sky-high affecting everything, some countries may be geniunely not just cooked, but deep fried. Iirc S.Korea imports 60%+ and Japan imports 90%+ of oil from Middle East, they cannot 'just switch' on whim. Even with own reserves and US help it can easily spiral out of control if conflict to last above 6 months. If it last to 9 - dominos may start to fall.

2CommaNoob

At this rate, Taiwan may run out of oil and gas soon since they are low on the totem pole. I don’t believe they get any sanctioned oil. Same with Vietnam, Thailand, and other smaller countries. USA, Russia and EU isn’t going to help these small players when bigger countries are willing to pay more.

diefy7321

Too may retards don’t understand what’s actually happening here. US needed an excuse to control the strait and they just got it. There’s a reason why the EU sent ships to Cyprus because the writing is on the wall that the US is aiming to control most of energy trade. Be prepared for a little toll booth in the strait labeled “Property of the US military” lmao

FSDLAXATL

I think there's three options on the table if TACO Trump backs out. 1) Iran opens the strait broadly but it will take some time for them to do so. Keeping it closed hurts them also. 2) Iran opens the strait to friends only, e.g. China, Russia, etc... This punishes the EU and the US and deepens dependence on China. I see this as the most likely scenario. 3) Iran keeps it mostly shut. This is the least sustainable and most damaging scenario. Oil Impacts of each scenarios. 1) Short term - Prices stay high but gradually drift down. Medium term: Market re-balances, higher price premium but not has high as the other two options 2) Western buyers pay more, tightened supplies. Oil prices remain elevated and volatile due to persistent risk as the strait is sorting gepolitically. 3) Oil prices remain at triple digits and it becomes the norm. Major supply shock territory.

EU states all have 90 days of reserve. But the point of the reserve is to avoid putting down on the population and local economy the cost of increasing oil prices.

A body like the EU could technically get involved and stop it, yeah. The only thing they could threaten is banning Meta from the EU but I'm pretty sure that would be a big deal to Meta. Honestly the main reason they're not is probably because this is just not considered a big enough event for most people to care. Those of us who are informed about this stuff on Reddit know that its yet another example of Meta buying out any semblance of competition but the truth is I doubt this is known among a bunch of EU regulars in their 60s-70s.

USN has MCMVs. Hypothetically, even if US and EU navies decide to escort vessels, the shipping companies will still be hesitant to put their ships and men at risk never knowing when a missile or drone can strike. The second problem is with shipping insurance, it is already 20x what it was before the war, i cannot imagine the premiums for a ship that said through strait of hormuz under the current conditions.

I never said they are ahead on semis. I said that gap isn’t as big as you think. Especially considering they continually take the people and resources pertaining to the gap. 1. The gap isn’t that big. 2. If China invades Taiwan physically, it will be a massive failure for China/Xi. Considering multiple alcohol companies have recorded massive losses, you’re not looking at the big picture. The relationship is damaged. Canada is number one trade partner, and the relationship is damaged. You’re insane if you think tidbit minimal. I never said US wasn’t number one in GDP. I’m saying the world is multipolar. The Us can’t demand the EU, China, or the Middle East to do anything. There are hedgimonds in each region and each region is looking out for their own interests. My point stands. You lack a basic understanding of geopolitics. I’m slightly above novice at best. You’re like a 4th grader studying social studies for the first time

Patents on the detonation process and Hyperion unit. They are also developing downstream patents on what the specific graphene is used in. They just did an actuator patent. There is also regulatory moat. Other producers will have to prove that they can design a system like the hyperion that meets EPA, UK/EU REACH standards for the environment. That took years for HGRAF and most "competitors" have said fuck that noise and have opted for creating their own vertically integrated products. That means they have to get EPA approval for each new thing they come up with. HGRAF can now sell Graphene to Exxon/TSLA/Duracell whoever so that they can use the graphene to make the products they specialize in. GEIC partnership. Companies have been actively engaged with Hydrograph graphene for years at this point in Manchester UK at the GEIC. They know about the consistency and quality that they produce. The big hangup with Graphene has been that manufacturers can't count on getting quality and consistency at volume. They now can and have proven that their graphene can be used in the lab without agglomeration or restacking issues. So one, nobody else can make the quality graphene they do. Nobody else has regulatory clearance to sell bulk and would be years out from getting clearance to do so. Nobody else has the dedicated research with results from years of practical innovation at the GEIC with it. Nobody else has a scalable/modular production unit that only costs 500k to produce to ramp up with orders.

leblond_00135

I agree, but dont Russia have an oil price cap as part of the EU sanctions? I dont remember exactly but I tought I read that some times ago.

HistoricalChicken691

That Strait is mined to hell and back, any ship entering will be shredded. Iran had contingency plans for this and they're ugly. Europe depends on the Strait for supply chains and oil. Iran's plan is to disrupt those completely and pressure the US to withdraw. The US has already lifted sanctions against Russia for India, but it's debatable whether or not the EU would do the same, or if Russia would provide them with oil when they can paralyze Europe instead. It's hard to describe the size of Trump's fuck up, but it's astronomical.

EU is so cooked. They need Russia back into the global marketplace desperately.

1. and 17% from others. Neither kuwait nor bahrain are listed. Wouldnt be crazy to recieve 3% from both. 2. its not about how much iran produces. But if the us succesfully regime change iran they sit on defacto control on the straight severely pressuring chinas import opportunities. 3. Russia is in a war against an enemy targetting their oil infrastructure. If Iran falls they really cant afford to have russia lose in ukraine, so where does that leave nato / the EU?

Wow, the EU elites are really afraid of their subjects.

I don't think oil is gonna stay this low tbh, seems a little too good to be true considering the G7 didn't agree to release stockpiles, the war is still on, the gulf states are winding down supply and the gae of Hormuz is still closed. Russia is wanting to pile on some more pressure on the US and EU to lift sanctions, which I can't see happening until we're at least 2 weeks - a month deep into >$100 prices per barrel. They'll just keep providing Iran with intel until the oil situation declines further and then pull the plug once the contracts are signed. Maybe a green week for stocks and then some shit happens over the weekend to force a pullback from ATH. But what do I know, I'm regarded
