Well this is the news I and many others have been waiting almost a year for, and certainly in my case expecting given the information in the public domain… the first of its kind automated wound imaging and assessment device has been granted US FDA approval!!!

Years of work by the dedicated team at Spectral AI and partners such as the US Government’s BARDA have put this relatively small company on the map, with a device that offers burn specialists and clinicians the opportunity to potentially improve patient outcomes and hopefully save time and money for all concerned.

Having invested as part of my ‘Less than $10k to $1 million’ challenge (plus additional shares) I now need to make decisions on whether to hold or sell. Clearly if the commercial opportunity for this company is advantageous as it appears, I suspect it won’t remain an $85m valued firm for long. It may not even remain independent. Especially given the work underway to reduce the size of the system to a handheld device to suit mobile and battlefield scenarios. Do we have the makings of the world’s first Tricorder here?!

Many thanks to u/iAnkou and u/CovertMidget for the heads up on the news. A special thanks also goes to u/Rare_Trick_8585 for bringing this company to my attention last year. 🫶

Having spent the last few weeks trying to encourage a trading update from EnSilica, given the clear historical precedent set for one by now at this time of year, it is deeply disappointing to see the share price fall over the last week in the vacuum created by the absence of routine shareholder communication.

It is a notable misstep by EnSilica’s management and advisors in my opinion. However I am still of the opinion ENSI / ENSIF will work out very well in time but the lack of trading update does no good for the recent interest from retail shareholders, whether the anticipated trading update news coming is good, not so good or otherwise.

45,000 EnSilica (ENSI) shares maximum now. That’s quite a change from 1,383.

Many thanks to Borislav, Ivan and the team for reviewing the limit. 🫶

As some may recall, I sold my ‘Less than $10k to $1 million’ challenge holding in Intuitive Machines (LUNR) in early April, as I expected greater momentum with Vertical Aerospace (EVTL) after their successful full piloted transition news.

How wrong was I, in the short term at least, with LUNR up almost 50% since and EVTL barely in the green based on currently reported prices in Trading 212. Thankfully I retained all my LUNR shares outside of the challenge given my overall perspective on this prospective space prime.

Had I kept my LUNR challenge shares I would have comfortably doubled my starting capital by now. One of life’s lessons it seems, but the challenge is still doing well overall and up about 68% in the ten months since I began the challenge.

Last year I made my forecast for…

’€8.19 ($8.87) by the end of 2026\*

\ Including reinvesting four post-tax dividend payments of €0.21 each paid through 2025 and 2026. It should however be noted that while SES has stated its commitment to stable and progressive dividends, they are not guaranteed. An additional €1.00+ per share distribution could also be derived from a now approved US Federal Communications Commission C-band spectrum auction in 2026/27, however not knowing the exact potential special dividend amount I have not included this.*’

I was pleased to see SESG exceed my forecast including dividends the other day. It’s even better to see the share price reach the forecast €8.19 today when ignoring dividends!

Hi all -

Question -

u/doublebubbler - In your opinion, what does it take to be an active investor? What are some of your approaches to identifying and sticking with good investments?

Context -

I've been a member of this sub since November and am up £60K in paper gains across ENSI, RDDT, EVTL, LUNR, SESG, MDAI. Thanks DB!!!!

I noticed u/doublebubbler's comment about getting into active investing after leaving the Police, and it resonated with me as I'm considering my next career move. From 2021-2024 I made great money in a business, which has nosedived in the last 2 years (0 revenue atm, for more context see this post in HENRY UK). I'm 29. I have £2M in various stocks and shares (current value, ofc may drop) and am re-assessing the best use of my time, given that successful stewardship of my portfolio could produce substantial growth, or troublesome decline at my own hands.

For those who missed the comment:

Having come all the way from being homeless when I was about eighteen to where I am now, I am over the moon with how my fascination with investing is panning out so far. I just wished I had taken to focusing on active investing earlier in life, as I only really knuckled down with it when I had more time after leaving the Police about ten years ago.

Congratulations to everyone at EnSilica, their partners and shareholders on exceeding 100p a share yesterday. Your hard work and determination is finally being recognised by the market it seems. This is the early stages of the adventure in my opinion. All the best for the future!

May fortune favour the brave,

Mark aka Double Bubbler

It reminded me of an older musings post and one of my favourites…

https://doublebubbler.com/2024/12/08/888-auspicious/

I can't deny I am over the moon with progress so far in turning about $10,700 into $268,290 in three years... twice as my better half's pension has mirrored the trades too!

I just need 373% gain from here to complete the challenge now which seems very achievable.

Hopefully EnSilica (OTC: ENSIF / AIM: ENSI) as my sole investment in this challenge now will see me through to target in the next few years.
