A Quick Note for New Subscribers & Paywall Removals
Plus an Epic +26% Start to the Year
2026 is off to a historic start for Dick Capital, with our seven-figure trading book up +26% in just one week. Much of this performance reflects strong early moves from several tickers highlighted in our 2026 Major Themes and Top Picks post. Now, the purpose of this post is to help readers navigate the stack and follow along with what we’re doing.
Paywall Removals
Before we get into it, we wanted to flag that we’ve removed the paywall from three of our articles:
ATEX Resources (ATX.V / ATXRF). This was our first article on Substack, and the stock is up +34% since publication. It’s also one of our largest holdings and a must-read for anyone interested in learning how we identify high-quality opportunities in the junior mining sector.
LightPath Technologies (LPTH). Another of our larger holdings, the stock is up +44% since publication.
ACMR Research (ACMR). Perhaps our proudest write-up yet, this 3,400-word deep dive is up +36% just one month after publication.
New Subscribers
We’ve seen a wave of new subscribers over the past couple of weeks, so we wanted to share the best way to navigate our posts.
First, make sure to download the Substack app on your phone and familiarize yourself with the Subscriber Chat. This is where we share all of our swing plays and post real-time updates on buys and sells.
Next, read our latest portfolio allocation update to get a clear view of our current holdings. We’ve added a few new swing positions recently, all announced in the Subscriber Chat, so reviewing those updates will give you the most current view of our holdings. Portfolio updates will be published quarterly, or more frequently if activity warrants.
Third, read our 2025 Year in Review. This will give you a sense of our cost basis across many current positions and help you assess whether you are late to a trade. We recommend entries close to our cost basis irrespective of what our price target might be. Pay close attention to position weights as well. Stocks with higher allocations that are still trading near our entry prices may represent more attractive opportunities
Lastly, read this post on trimming. We will always announce our sells, but everyone’s goals and personal circumstances are different, so it is important you make decisions that align with your own risk tolerance and time horizon.
We want to thank each and every one of you for your support and trust as we’ve kicked off an epic start to the year. We look forward to continuing this run together.
Love U,
dick
