Lot's of folks ask me which broker I recommend and use and it's hands down Interactive Brokers. They've been in the game since 1977 and are a publicly listed company in the NYSE so you have trust and faith that they know what they're doing especially handling your hard earned money. This video is for all of y'all looking to get started with IBKR. You can use my referral link to get started and you can get up to a bonus of $200 worth of free stock to get you started! Please play it on 0.75 speed if the current speed is too fast for you to follow along. Also, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU OPEN A CASH ACCOUNT. NOT MARGIN! Margin accounts are leveraged and basically you "borrow" money to control larger positions which if they go against you, you'll lose money immediately. Cash accounts are 1:1 meaning 1 dollar controls 1 single unit of stock. Flood this thread with questions if you get stuck and I'll be here to help!

I screened Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. (Optex) Recommendation: BUY Optex Systems represents a classic "picks and shovels" play on the re-arming of the Western world. While the headline risk of a declining backlog must be monitored, the contextual factors—specifically the temporary nature of budgetary delays—suggest this is a timing mismatch rather than a demand collapse. The fundamental economics of the business are stronger than they have been in a decade. Investors are effectively buying a profitable, growing, debt-free defense supplier at a discount, with a free option on the massive potential of the XM30 program. Confidence Level: High The combination of tangible assets ("heavy metal" backlog), verified financial performance (audited FY2025 results), and specific geopolitical tailwinds provides a high degree of certainty regarding the company's floor. The "High" confidence is tempered only by the inherent liquidity risks of a small-cap stock and the binary nature of government contracting. Analysis done using google gemini pro
