I found you guys online. Last two digits of your biz phone number is 90?

I own a government contracting company and we do a lot of MEP stuff. Need supervisors more than anything.

I'll email you this week.
We need to chat. I'm not interested in your position but I am interested in being a client

What online courses are you selling and what platform? 30+ years in commercial banking and I’ve put together a few. Just trying to find the launch platform and marketing play. So many out there.


It was real estate related but AI completely killed it. Ironically, AI killed one of my biz while skyrocketing the other.

My gvt contract biz is doing 16mm this year and I would say half of those awards are due to AI.

How difficult would stock trading be if we had sound money and a balanced budget?


Very very hard. However, the common man would have no pressure to gamble their money like we do now.

Daily debasement is responsible for where we are now.
I haven't taken it but there are plenty of cheap courses on Udemy that pointed me in the right direction.

Do you have a niche picked out?
Good to hear from you man. Not much. Still living in Colombia, just building up the gov contract biz, shite posting here.

What's up with you?
just bought a bag today when i saw she bought.

1 year in and I think I am losing $100. LOL :lol:
I'm going to share what we use it for in hopes someone can tell me what I can improve or do differently.

1. I wrote a program with Claude Code that connects to the sam.gov API to give me a daily report of what government jobs are out that I might be interested in bidding on. It sends the report directly to a slack channel.

2. After we finalize pricing for the bid, Claude writes all the technical approaches and grades our report like it is a contracting officer.

3. I have it connected to our quickbooks online, credit cards and banking , etc for weekly reports on my biz. The connections are all terrible so i do have to end up feeding it weekly excel sheets.

4. The biggest thing is I can now take a low level employee and have them outperform some of the guys with 20 years of experience. I think some of you need to read this again. It's true and 100% scary.

Pretty much this. There is demand for this stuff because nobody wants to delay gratification anymore. They want it NOW.

It's the main driver behind why most stay broke.
Leaps are always a gamble but I do like the stock.
I don't have any opinoin on it but I thought I would share what Claude said for discussion.

Short answer: Technically a real legal entity, but it has nearly every red flag of a classic OTC pump scheme. I'd treat the substance ("real things") as very low confidence.
What it actually is:

OTC pink-sheet stock (~$0.11, ~$265–305M market cap, 16 employees, Southlake TX)
Was "Renewal Fuels Inc." (RNWF), previously "Renewal Energy Products" — a shell that reverse-merged with "Kepler Fusion Technologies" in Feb 2026 and rebranded
Claims to be developing "Texatron," an aneutronic (D-He³) fusion reactor, and projects commercialization by end of 2026

Red flags (high confidence on each):

Reverse-merger-into-hot-sector pattern. Biofuel shell ? fusion company overnight. Textbook OTC playbook.
Paid promotion. "Real Creative Agency" explicitly discloses being paid to promote AMFN. The promotional material literally pitches the pink-sheet listing as a feature ("deters larger investors and discourages due diligence") — that's the pump telling you it's a pump.
The CTO is Dr. John Brandenburg. Real plasma physics PhD (UC Davis '81, worked at LLNL/Sandia decades ago), but also a regular Coast to Coast AM guest known for the "Mars was destroyed by an ancient nuclear war" theory and a claimed propellantless "Kepler Drive." Not someone serious fusion investors are following.
Physically implausible timeline. Aneutronic D-He³ fusion is harder than D-T fusion (no one has achieved net-energy D-T yet outside NIF's one-shot ignition). Helium-3 isn't commercially available at scale. Serious players (TAE, Helion, CFS) — with hundreds of millions to billions in funding and dozens to hundreds of PhDs — target 2030s. AMFN claims commercialization in ~7 months with 16 employees.
"Milestones" are theater. "Completed structural frame" = they built a metal frame. "Nine prototypes" with zero published performance data. "~280 patent filings in progress" ? granted patents.
Beta of -14.5 — the stock isn't moving with anything; it's being moved.
No revenue, raising $5M for "testing and working capital."

Bottom line: Real company, real LLC, real press releases, real metal frame in Odessa. Real fusion? Effectively zero chance on their stated timeline. Probability this is a wealth-destroying penny stock promotion: high. If someone pitched this to you, ask them who paid for the pitch.

Working on this now, I am constantly trying to keep up with AI but slowly getting left behind.

I have watched tens of hours of videos on youtube about this and still can't come up with a use case for my specific biz

That said, any business that is data heavy could be 100% run using these bots.

The fact that btc struggles at the exact moment when it should thrive should send caution flags


Yep. It sucks having a thesis about hard money and the death of fiat and then seeing the thesis play out correctly but BTC does not participate.

I'm down about a million bucks. I think Bitcoin will come back but it may just be another 4 year cycle. I was 100% convinced the 4 year cycle was over.

That said, I've been around many years and whenever the bulls (like myself) get nervous that it might be over, that is normally the time to buy.

Mind if I pick your brain off TD? We have a couple years of performance under our belts and now we have the FCL. We are going to be tripling in size soon, but I want to learn how to bid on our own contracts. We have a super 8a behind us. We are also a SDVOSB


Drop a contact e-mail if you have a burner you don't mind the world seeing.

8a is exciting. I'll never be able to get it. It really is a blank check.

Working on Hubzone now.

Yes, been an SDVOSB prime for 7 years. Let me know if you need any direction. Gov contracting is a cool world but much diff than the private sector.

We had been using Bidra and/gov spend.
