One of our standout contributors, GodFather Knows, brought $RCAT to our attention when it was trading in the $1.60s. This early insight led to significant gains for our members, with some realizing over 900% returns.
Through in-depth research, our team identified $RCAT’s strategic positioning to win the SRR contract over competitors like Skydio. This conviction proved invaluable when $RCAT secured the SRR contract, reinforcing our strong belief in its potential. We advised our community to take full-sized positions at $5.10, a decision that has paid off significantly, with the stock now trading above $11. For additional insights, check out our exclusive interview with $RCAT’s CEO on November 26th. Watch it here.Another standout in the drone space that caught our attention is $UMAC, a company with notable ties to $RCAT. Not only does $UMAC collaborate with $RCAT, but its board includes Jeff Thompson, CEO of $RCAT. The synergy between these companies further solidified our interest. The very next morning, pre-market news broke that Donald Trump Jr. had joined $UMAC’s advisory board, adding another layer of credibility and potential.We quickly sent out an alert to our community to buy $UMAC at $6.20, and during our morning show, we provided a swing target of $15 to $20, which was successfully reached. Moreover, on November 27th, when $UMAC dipped to the $7.50s, we strongly advised our members to buy the dip—another timely call that reinforced the value of our community’s collaborative research and strategy.
