- Shane's Domain Auction Picks for Friday December 5th
Shane's Domain Auction Picks for Friday December 5th
One of the smarter things I did this year was move my crypto into stocks. Instead of losing 20 percent I made 20 percent, and if I wanted to go back to BTC I could add a few more coins to the stack. But I don’t have plans to go back in 2026. I think there is better value in select stocks right now than in BTC. I also do not like that Saylor plays such a big role in its value or how tightly it pegs to the broader market. If I am going to peg to the market I might as well be in the market.
I do not pretend I am some genius investor, but I am pretty good at spotting the start of a trend. My seven figure portfolio started with ten thousand dollars in 2021 by being early in a few different places. Right now my focus is on stocks that have been beaten down over the last five years or since IPO. Many of them were priced like they were already giants and the market punished them when they were not profitable or established enough to support those valuations. Time has passed. A lot of these companies now have a real customer base and a clear path to growth or expanding profitability.
One example is Gemini, ticker GEMI. It is down about 80 percent since its IPO and trades at a huge discount to Coinbase and Robinhood. Yet the business is stable and if they add stock trading or perps, the stock should at least double or maybe even quadruple. There are also a lot of SaaS companies that have folded AI into their products and become far more efficient. They have taken growth from under ten percent to double digits. That kind of compounding changes the value of a company in a big way, but the market has not rewarded it because they have not done it enough quarters in a row to convince people it is real. I am betting it is real.
To me it is a game and the money is the scorecard. Hoping 2026 brings a few big wins.
