CEO of Brocade from start up to $24B market cap. Made Forbes list. God, Family and Freedom. Posts about stocks are my opinions and NOT financial advice.
Rodger’s book about my ordeal is outstanding.
If you’re interested in a cautionary tale about govt overreach and personal betrayal this is worth a listen.
Roger Donway’s brilliant 2012 book about the government’s witch-hunt of Brocade CEO

is a must read for anyone concerned with government overreach in today’s business world. 📚
Early this morning was bad ….. then just like that Grace woke up and has turned the corner! This is the first time she has been awake and smiled in over a week!

SHE BEAT IT!
This is what we were praying for!
My wife and I thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers and support …… they made they made difference! 🙏🏻

Many people have been kind enough to ask for updates on Graces condition.
Thank you for asking!
Grace has had a miraculous turn around after a horrific start to the day.
Around 10:00 we had a team meeting and were discussing the possibility of a second transfusion and
Our four and a half year old daughter … Grace was hospitalized Monday.
She is very sick.
A virus of some kind has caused her immune system to attack her red blood cells.
Pleasure pray for her recovery! We need all the prayers we can get!

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!

I’m old. I’m 62. I went on Twitter …. Mostly out of boredom.
I wanted to try and help folks with my business experience and help folks be successful.
What I have received in return is overwhelming support, kindness and prayers during some dark days.
@JoeyMannarinoUS
He didn’t. Canadians vote for a party … not a candidate. Even thought a majority voted conservative. Smaller liberal parties created a coalition and installed Fidel Jr. He wasn’t elected even once.
Please join me in wishing Grace a happy 5th birthday. Her mom and I are overjoyed that our little girl has completely recovered … she is growing up way too fast for our liking! 🎂
On a positive note our precious little girl continues to improve!
Thank you so much for everyone’s support and for your prayers during the most terrifying week of our lives!
Grace had her bloodwork done today.
Her hemoglobin went up today from 7.6 to 8.5 (13-14 is normal).
Even though my wife and I are traumatized. Grace is back to herself.

$ENVX …. 👀 THIS THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT SLIDE ….. EACH LINE AT SCALE WILL BE A MONEY PRINTING MACHINE ….. now you have officially heard it from the company.
The economics are better than what I had modeled!
@EnovixBatteries
$ENVX …. The Enovix CFO just stated that the EX 2 M will sell for $13-$15 per battery with margins north of 50%
The 1650 MPH model … with $150m in revenue per year was based on a battery price of $9.25 …. $13 per battery gets you to almost $200m per line!
With margins north
$ENVX …. Why I’m a raging bull?…. In 1997 I observed that “Mega Cap” tech companies had a common set of attributes. Those being: 1) Large and growing TAM 2) Physics changing technology 3) Glow in the dark management team 4) No entrenched dominant competitor 5) Well capitalized
$ENVX …. We are drinking a toast to the Enovix Nation! Shorts ….. you know not what your doing …. Your going to have your fucking faces ripped off! BOOKMARK THIS TWEET
Great question! She isn’t alone. So many go to Washington worth a couple hundred thousand dollars and leave worth 10’s of million. It stinks to high heaven. I can guarantee you that the founding fathers envisioned citizen statesmen, not career kleptocrats. These grifters need to
If Elizabeth Warren saved her entire yearly salary and never spent a dime it would take her 235 years to accumulate $67 Million. So my question is, where did her money come from? 🤨
$ENVX …. I have gotten a number of comments and questions about my belief that it is possible for Enovix to appreciate 10-20x from todays price of $11 and change. When I was the CEO of Brocade communications I grew revenue from $8m in in 1997 to $329m in 2000. During that period
$ENVX …. I couldn’t have hoped for a better shareholder letter and string of announcements! Thank you Raj
@rajtalluri
and the Enovix team for a great quarter!
@AlderLaneEggs
$ENVX …. Reflecting on Enovix strategic position as compared to a year ago I wanted to share the following observations:
- A year ago the Fab2 equipment had just been ordered.
FACTORY ACCEPTANCE TESTING HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND THE FACTORY WILL BE “STOOD UP” THIS QUARTER
- A
$ENVX …. I’m getting tired of having my balls busted by unaccomplished malcontents taking cheap shots at me.
I have been sharing my views on Enovix for the past two years openly, honestly and truthfully and will continue to do so.
I know the company, the technology and the
$ENVX …..

@rajtalluri
I’m numbing my Enovix share price action disappointment day drinking!
Actually I’m not. I have never been more bullish.
Management IS hitting on all cylinders.
The Gen 2 line is about to go live.
Samples are about to start
I wasn’t as active on Twitter last week because I was camping with some close friends and was of grid a lot. Wanted to share this photo that captures the feeling of our trip. It was awe inspiring.
$ENVX …. 👀 On my way to meet a friend for lunch …. Through I would swing by Enovix to see if people were working on a Sunday … this kind of work ethic and commitment are very impressive by any measure.
@EnovixBatteries
$ENVX .... I thought that todays earnings call was the best yet.
Let's see what the stock does tomorrow. They are on schedule and continue to meet or exceed expectations.
The stock being down .80 after hours on 10,000 shares is not indicative of anything nor is it the end of
$ENVX …. The set up is about as perfect as it gets.
Congratulations to Raj
@rajtalluri
and the Enovix team
@EnovixBatteries
. This is a team had consistently delivered or exceeded expectations.
Anyone short Enovix needs to have their head examined … all systems are GO!
We are winding down 2023 …. I hope that everyone had an awesome holiday season and wish everyone in the $ENVX community a very Happy new year …. May it be a year of health happiness and prosperity ….. Except Enovix shorts … (just kidding).
$ENVX .... Enovix is very close to completing the Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT} of their Gen2 manufacturing equipment. Ajay Marathe the companies COO will be providing an update via a podcast next week.
IF this is in fact the case, the company should be on schedule to "Stand
$ENVX …. I like Farhan Amad, Enovix’s CFO a lot.
@AlderLaneEggs
and I had dinner with him last night.
He is very smart. He is what I would refer to as an “Operating CFO”. He has an engineering degree. He has done product management. He was an analyst and was most recently was
$ENVX … 👀 This is a massive milestone. FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) is a rigorous process that ensures that all of the Gen2 equipment works as specified. Being able to manufacture 1350 Units Per Hour is the first step towards becoming a multi billion dollar company.
$ENVX ….. So stressed about todays BS price action based on a bogus 12 month old hit piece that I decided to buy more stock then head into the back country.
$ENVX …. I just received an hour long debrief from two of Enovix’s earliest and largest share holders that attended today’s Cantor investor tour that visited Enovix.
If you were to couple what was presented today … with this mornings pod cast …. When the company puts it all
$ENVX ….. Wishing the Enovix Nation a happy Fathers Day! As for the shorts and shit throwing monkeys …. Wishing you a very very long weekend to think about what you were schooled on today by Marc and I
@AlderLaneEggs
$ENVX ….. 👀 I was thrilled with todays Enovix ER call. They touched all the bases as I had hoped for. Tip of the hat to Raj and his team. They are pros and are playing to win … as Raj said on the call “We are going to build a highly profitable multi billion dollar business”
$ENVX If Enovix can pull off a repeat of the Canaccord fireside chat from a couple weeks ago “On steroids” explaining again why their strategic refocusing of the company is hugely positive in addition to reiterating confidence in Gen2 MFG timing as well as discussing the status
$ENVX …. I want to be clear about how I think about Enovix. I don’t view it as a biotech company.
To the contrary, I view it as having all of the hallmarks that are required for a technology company to become an industry giant:
1) They have a massive TAM. The TAM for silicon
$ENVX …. Outstanding update from Ajay Marathe.
Everything is on schedule AND indications are that preliminary yields are very encouraging.
Let’s go!
@EnovixBatteries
A new Journey to Scale podcast is now available. We catch up with Enovix COO, Ajay Marathe for an update on Gen2 manufacturing milestones at Fab2 in Penang, Malaysia. Listen here 🎧👉
$ENVX - As of 5/28 institutional ownership of Enovix is up 77%. Institutions own 70% of the float. TJ Rodgers owns 13.76% of the float. 83.76% of the float is owned by institutions and TJ Rodgers. THE STOCK IS ONE HEADLINE AWAY FROM A FACE RIPPER
@AlderLaneEggs
$ENVX …. 👀 I have said a number of times that Raj
@rajtalluri
is playing 3 dimensional chess. For those of you who are into strategic thinking, I would be asking what are the implications of this for the company and what is Raj’s next move? On it’s face I am very positive
$ENVX …. The huge news from my perspective coming out of Ajay’s update was what he said about zones 1 and 2 …. Zone two “the stacker” saw +90% yields. If the zone 1 laser wasn’t working to spec they wouldn’t have seen +90% yields w zone 2 w FAT.
I’m pretty pumped.
If we
$ENVX ….. With the increase in Enovix short interest from 36 to 41 million shares short … I’m not so sure that the shorts will get what they are hoping for.
1) Enovix has plenty of cash. I don’t see any scenario where they have to raise money anytime soon.
2) When they do
$ENVX …. My take on the Enovix earnings conf call and follow up with management:
Everything is on track and remain management is very confident with the Fab2 schedule, Ex 1M and successful qualification of the battery with multiple smartphone OEM’s.
A 9 mo qual cycle isn’t
$ENVX …. The bull case for Enovix has only strengthened IMO. The stock sold off due to profit taking after a big run. A weak tape didn’t help matters. To add insult to injury the company didn’t do itself any favors with their tone deaf handling of the shelf offering and career
$ENVX …. 👀 This note from Loop Capital is a must read. Every paragraph is highly insightful and IMHO highly bullish for the Enovix. The Loop Capital analyst gets better then any sell side analyst on the street.
$ENVX $OSTK … You all have NO idea how happy I am for my brother Marc
@AlderLaneEggs
today! His track record is unassailable! He takes so much shit while freely sharing his ideas, experience and wisdom. So happy for you and proud to call you my dear friend!
$ENVX …. The sell off since earnings has everything to do with a bear market for small caps ….. and absolutely nothing to do with the bear thesis. The thesis is intact and has only improved IMHO.
$ENVX … Someone DMed me and asked why I spend so much time working on Enovix.
The answer is simple. It is the only company that I have come across in over a decade that checks all the boxes of my “Success Filter”:
Massive and growing TAM ✅
Physics changing technology ✅
$ENVX ….. I love what he did. Fab1 was always known not to be viable or cost effective. It was the right decision for the business. It cuts costs and allows them to focus on scaling the business in Malaysia focusing on large customers. IMO this is a gift. Raj is focused on
I leaned that my Uncle George Reyes passed away. Please say a prayer for him. Even though we were close in age he was my uncle. He was very smart and very accomplished.
$ENVX So much for “they can’t make it” “no one wants it” “no one will pay a premium” and “They will have to do a massively dilutive capital raise” short theories!
As I have indicated multiple times …. They were fabricated out of thin air and were BS.
@EnovixBatteries
$ENVX …. The stock has performed well since breaking out of the wedge …… volume was great yesterday and even better today with 7.6 M shares. Congratulations to those that had the stomach to add in the $9’s. Let’s go!
$ENVX …. Raj hit it out of the park this morning …. Addressing a number of misconceptions and concerns. I will retweet the link to his preso which is a must watch.
$ENVX ….. I just hung up with Marc
@AlderLaneEggs
. After Enovix’s Q2 conf call we will be hosting a spaces and invite
@pigfarmercap
@compound248
and
@ESGhound
to participate. Looking forward to getting into the mosh pit with these stock jockeys and self professed Enovix experts
$ENVX ….. Apparently not only do Enovix batteries work …. They performed better than other silicon products. So much for the “The battery doesn’t work” short claim:
$ENVX ….. “The captain has turned off the Fasten Seat Belt sign” as expected the “Sell Side” is positive coming out of yesterdays conference call. With Raj speaking at no less than seven conferences in May and June …. I suspect we will see institutional participation increase.
To everyone reading my posts …. This has been a particularly hard week for me in terms of dyslexia ….. apologies for the type-o’s. It doesn’t matter how many times I read them … I just can’t see them.
$ENVX ….. I have been reflecting on yesterdays shareholder letter and conference call. I keep thinking about Raj and his leadership. What he has accomplished in the past 9 months is impressive. I believe that Raj
@rajtalluri
is one best Technology CEO’s I have ever met. Every
