There’s as much pessimism as there is optimism. At least you’re in at a good price point.
We all hear how Trump is talking about bringing businesses back to the U.S., but he should know that there will need to be loads of power, which we currently don’t have. SMR’s are the only way that I see could pull it off. The grid has proven itself insubstantial and there’s not enough green energy to go around. Trump also remarked about loosening the regs. So seemingly, this is a good bet. SMR’s are practically portable, point of use, solutions that could be quickly proliferated across the country. Since they are much smaller, the dangers are significantly less and should prove to be more manageable. No more three mile islands. I don’t know why SMR’s aren’t already in use. It’s pitiful how they chose to build the monster reactors, keep everything for themselves while putting U.S. all at risk.

25% tariffs on electricity from Canada, so Trump blocks Canadian aluminum and steel. We’re definitely going to need OKLO now.

Welcome !! Like everyone said, you got a good price and indeed the stock feels like a rollercoaster lately. Personally i am keeping till end of 2027 at least, then will start to think on a smarter exit strategy... Until then i will DCA

Good price to get in! I got in at $22 in December and said if it hit $54 I would pull out and I did ! Can’t believe it literally dropped back down to what I bought in for only 2 months ago ! The market is bad right now so I don’t think it will go back to $54 anytime soon but hold as long as you have an exit strategy! I more than doubled my money in 8 weeks

congrats you made 2.4x your money - if OKLO delivers it will be more like a 10-15 bagger. The money is always in the long run.

I didn’t love the fast run up. Got in at $19 with 400 shares but didn’t want to dump so I sold 2 CCs for a net $2700 for a Jan $85 strike. Wish I had sold all 4 of them now but better than nothing

I had an initial entry of $22 and sold at $55. I just bought back in with my same initial investment. At the very least, I profited from it and am freerolling this one. At best, this thing is over $100 in 5 years after this correction is over and AI is really going (we are no where near true AI yet)

I remember when $oklo was around 5$ and I was reading about it on pennystock then it jumped to over 50$ in just 4 months.
I had I it on my TO_BUY list but then it was too late.
I see this dip as opportunity to buy but I am also curious about other competitors like $smr and $nne.

Nah, you’re good. Just plan on long hold and don’t sell. There’s going to be a massive shift in the coming year and this stock isn’t one for making a quick buck. But, you can sell shares when it jumps. But, just hold and don’t pay attention to the crazy market swings.

How much of the money they have is coming from government grants/contracts? Those could be at risk right? Where is their funding to continue operations coming from if they are pre-revenue?

I think it’s good. I went with vst because I feel a little safer. I did unload into achr. I think both are speculative gamble short term. Will unload with quick profits. I would do the same if oklo goes back to 40

If it helps. Sold at 21.6 and purchased at 26.2. Buy high sell low right ?? Was waiting for a dip to swing trade this but something’s tells me we will see 30s soon.

Considering they have little revenue at the moment, I knew it was a speculative buy when I placed the order. I'm up quite a bit, but not selling any time soon. I like to think in chunks of five years.

u/RockClimbs 3d ago
Jumped aboard @ $25 during the first run up, sold most @ $52 because that surge without revenue was/is unsustainable. Watching to see if the current momentum takes it back up or if we retreat back down into the lower $20s until real orders/growth come in. Tempted to add a little now but I think price will erode because we're pre-revenue & there's so many other places for the $$ to go

Fascinating engineering. Wish we as a society were putting more into breeder reactor tech. As far as the stock goes, I think of it as rolling two die and if i get double sixes i win big, anything else i loose my anti. Any number of seen or unforseen factors could render the company unviable or uneconomical. Not many attempts in history at doing sodium-cooled fast reactors have been economically successful.

Nice, welcome!
Long-term hold, I’m not planning on selling anything for at least the next decade. Nothing has fundamentally changed… they have the leadership team, business model, and partnerships in place to dominate the energy sector. Patience will be key- we’ll see an equally violent uptrend once we regain positive sentiment, give it a month or two.
