$100k+ invested

200%+ all-time returns

 

Hey guys, @trevorheslopinvests here. I'm 22, a finance student and college hockey player at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, and I've been investing for four years. Some of my biggest investments were $PLTR at $7, $SOFI at $6, $AMD at $80, and $NBIS at $75, and my portfolio recently crossed +200% all-time returns.

That should tell you how I invest: I buy great businesses when the market isn't paying attention, and I hold them for years. So let's get into where I think the market is heading and the three stocks on my radar

👇

This time last year, traders were pricing in two to three rate cuts for 2026.

Instead, the Fed just hiked to 3.75% to 4.00%, signaled at least one more, and the 10-year touched 5.2%, its highest level since 2007.

Then there's the war with Iran, oil hovering around $100, and midterms in November. Midterm years are historically choppy, because if there's one thing Wall Street hates, it's uncertainty.

With all that going on, you'd expect stocks to be falling apart.. But they're not.

The S&P 500 is within 1% of its all-time high, and the reason is simple: earnings. 86% of companies beat estimates last quarter, and earnings are expected to grow nearly 29% this quarter.

I'm still heavily invested and a long-term bull, but I've been sitting on my hands lately and building cash, which is now about 12% of my portfolio.

Why? The VIX is sitting just under 15, which tells me the market is pricing in very little risk right now. Complacency like that doesn't last forever, especially with yields at 19-year highs. SPY is also stretched above its 21-week EMA while sitting above its 9-week EMA. It can keep running from here, but when a pullback comes, I want dry powder ready.

In the meantime, I'm watching where I see long-term structural demand: space and energy. Both have been left behind by the market, but the businesses keep getting stronger. Here are my three.

1. LUNR | Intuitive Machines

I personally own $LUNR, and added more this week. Backlog jumped from $213 million to $1.8 billion in six months, and national security now makes up 30% of revenue. It's no longer a moon landing story, It's a space prime in the making, still trading around $15, roughly a third of its 52-week high near $47.

2. RKLB | Rocket Lab

I haven't started a position yet, but I'm most likely buying soon. Revenue grew 62% to a record $234 million on Electron and space systems alone, which means Neutron, its reusable SpaceX competitor, is the catalyst that could re-rate the stock, and I want to own it before it flies.

3. VST | Vistra Energy

The real bottleneck in AI isn't chips anymore, It's power. Vistra keeps locking in 20-year contracts with data centers and AWS, yet the stock is down 32% over the past year, and that gap between fundamentals and price is exactly what I look for.
