My Reddit Megathread’s weekly update seems to have grown arms and legs this week so I may as well make it a post!
EOD on 2026-03-20 ‘≈$10k to $1 million‘ value (commenced 5/5/23): $144,000.00 📉
EOD on 2026-03-20 ‘Less than $10k to $1 million’ value (commenced 7/7/25): $12,312.63 📈
It‘s been an eventful week, with more of the same in many respects (war!) and most major markets are down pretty heavily. The S&P 500 down almost 3%, NASDAQ down 3.22%, FTSE 100 down 3.65% for example. Against this backdrop my challenge stocks have had a relatively good week.
EnSilica (ENSI), my sole ‘≈$10k to $1 million‘ pick was pretty much flat for the week (down 1.41%), with the share price (SP) in positive territory for the week until the very last moment (and taken into negative territory by one of those single, after hours, uncrossed trades that reek of market maker manipulation in my opinion). More positively EnSilica revealed its new major shareholder following the very successful and heavily oversubscribed fundraising recently. While it is early days, Barney Esterhuysen appears based on his family office’s website, to align with everything I would hope to see from a keystone investor. EnSilica now appears to be in a much stronger position to win new business and accelerate its strength in satellite communications in particular.
As for my ‘Less than $10k to $1 million’ challenge picks, Intuitive Machines (LUNR) revealed their Q4 and 2025 results and there was much to be positive about including the notably expanded depth and breadth in service offering they have achieved after recently acquiring Lanteris Space Sytems (formerly Maxar). The share price was more or less flat for the week (-0.86%) despite a strong rise into the $20s on Friday before falling back. If there is positive news from NASA in the coming weeks in relation to the LTVS contract, then I would not be surprised to see the share price in the mid-20s and higher before long.
My other ‘Less than $10k to $1 million’ pick Spectral AI (MDAI) had a great week despite touching recent SP lows for a time. News of significant new funding from the US’ Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) helped see the shares rise 15% on the week. I am still patiently waiting for news in the coming months hopefully in relation to the FDA’s decision on whether to approve Spectral AI’s DeepView system. That is where I hope to see a notable increase in share price along with the potential to rise much further if the commercial model is proven viable.
P.S. We had a very pleasurable outing to the Highland Cinema last night, enjoying good food and watching Project Hail Mary, the film based on Andy Weir’s science fiction masterpiece. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. Even Anna who is not a sci-fi nut like me thought it was a great film. A perfect blend of interesting, funny, jeopardy and feel good. Thanks again to the helpful and friendly staff, I particularly enjoyed talking afterwards with a member of staff whose name I do not know, about the photographs of various locals dotted around the cinema foyer. Seeing Fergie MacDonald (the late ‘Cèilidh King’) smiling in a photograph is enough to lift anyone’s spirits when thinking about the pleasure he brought to others. A lovely man, greatly missed.
P.P.S. We also greatly enjoyed Danny MacAskill’s ‘Wee Day Out’ short as a trailer to the film. His mountain bike work is truly amazing and being a fairly local lad (from nearby Skye) it was great to see filming in locations such as the nearby West Highland Line. I really recommend watching. Quite how he manages to jump his bike and land perfectly on the train track I do not know!
