Reading Between the Lines — Why It Matters More Than Ever
We alerted a new stock last week! See what it is by clicking here.
Not every market rewards aggression. Some years force you to be patient. Others reward bold positioning.
A Private Circle for High-Net-Worth Peers
Long Angle is a private, vetted community for high-net-worth entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals across multiple industries. No membership fees.
Connect with primarily self-made, 30-55-year-olds ($5M-$100M net worth) in confidential discussions, peer advisory groups, and live meetups.
Access curated alternative investments like private equity and private credit. With $100M+ invested annually, leverage collective expertise and scale to capture unique opportunities.
This year?
We’ve leaned into what we call “passive-aggressive investing.”
That means:
We invest passively in long-term winners using dollar-cost averaging
We aggressively double down on strength — but only after confirmation
We hold a small, strategic swing trade pool to scale into high-momentum names in winning sectors for profit during the year.
So how has this strategy played out?
🚀 Two Standout Winners:
Block Inc $XYZ ( ▲ 1.23% )
Robinhood $HOOD ( ▲ 0.75% )
What they do: A decentralized infrastructure platform offering encrypted payments, creator wallets, and blockchain authentication.
Just added to the S&P 500, fueling massive inflows and volume.
Our position:
Started buying at $57
Added at $59.66
Now trading at $72+ 🔥
Options swing:
We bought $60 January 2027 Calls at $18.20 ($1,820/contract)
Those same contracts are now worth $2,400+, up ~32%
They should be $13+ in the money, and could be worth $4,000–$4,200+ per contract as early as this week if momentum holds
💡 This is what we mean by scaling into winners: patient entry + aggressive follow-through once the thesis proves itself. We already had this company as an investment. We liked the entry, and added it as a trade.
✅ $HOOD — Robinhood
Alerted at: $41
Now trading at: $109 — a +165% gain
Catalysts: Explosive growth in options & crypto volumes, shift in retail investor sentiment, and several analyst upgrades
We positioned early — not just based on technicals, but narrative shifts. This was one of our highest conviction trades of 2025.

🧠 What This Teaches Us
Some trades are slow. Some explode. And some need to be cut loose.
But our edge isn't about predicting everything — it's about adapting with logic.
This year, that meant buying incrementally, stacking into strength, and reserving cash for only the best setups.
We’re not just picking stocks — we’re building conviction.
And now, we’ve got proof that the strategy is working.

Logic. Discipline. Results. That’s the SWS way.
