IP
International Paper Co.
stock NYSE

They just wanted IP. Do you think a company that knows who you're going to vote for and what kind of mayonnaise you're most likely to buy doesn't understand that people don't want to wear 10lb headsets?
AR/VR is not there yet, but it has very big implications once we figure out how to do it right. Meta knows this and they're racing to file good patents and IP ahead of that. Metaverse was just a gimmick to make a few bucks on top of that.
Meta does not fuck around on tech. They are a leader in this space for a reason and they're not afraid of a few Redditors thinking they're smarter than them.

Nobody buys a backtest, and almost nobody buys a strategy. What gets evaluated is the live record, and the questions come in a fixed order: how long, at what size, with what fills, and can someone other than you verify it. A brokerage statement beats a spreadsheet, and a record run through a third party that timestamps each trade beats both. Capacity is the second conversation. A low-frequency strategy that works at your size may not absorb an allocator's size, and they will ask what happens to your entries when the order is much bigger.
On the routes: licensing signals is a software business with support and churn. Managing outside money is a compliance business before it is an investing one. Selling the IP outright almost never happens, because the buyer cannot tell your edge from your luck without running it themselves, which is the track record again.
The path most people take is trade your own capital until the live record is long enough that someone else's due diligence is cheap, then talk to family offices before funds, because they move faster. The larger allocators run emerging manager programs for this and publish what they expect to see.

SX 🇨🇦
SXOOF 🇺🇸
SP $0.02
MC $6M
SX is well known in the penny community but just in case you haven’t heard of them, a little history.
About 5 years ago, Paul Pelosi Jr became an advisor for the company and the news raised the share price up over a dollar. Since then, it’s been a slow steady decline to two cents and while PPjr is no longer involved, a lot has happened behind the scenes.
Today, SX a diversified technology and resource company with its primary near-term focus on EVSX, its wholly owned battery processing subsidiary.
EVSX operates a permitted, multi-chemistry battery recycling line in Thorold, Ontario, designed for roughly 10,000 tonnes per year. The facility recovers critical battery metals, aluminum, steel, copper and other materials with high efficiency and routes them back into the supply chain rather than landfill. It sits in a key collection hub near North America’s largest automotive cluster (Ford, GM, Stellantis) and holds supply agreements, including with Call2Recycle. Recent upgrades have expanded throughput capacity, and a joint venture with Voltrinov supports evaluation and processing of end-of-life EV and micromobility batteries.
The recent plant upgrades seem to have stalled operations because they ended up running into financial trouble before they even started.
On September 10, 2026, EVSX reached a settlement with its debenture holders that resolved outstanding receivership proceedings. The agreed debt of approximately $484,463 is being repaid on a defined schedule (initial payments in September followed by bi-weekly instalments). With the petition suspended, the path is clearing for EVSX to stabilize operations and move toward full commercial processing announcements.
With no other revenue generating subsidiaries, the only way they can pay back these debenture holders is if they actually produce revenue from EVSX. The debenture holders likely wouldn’t agree to this arrangement if they didn’t feel EVSX was finally ready to go. If they are recycling 10k tons worth of batteries they can pay off this debt in about 2 months.
Beyond battery recycling, St-Georges retains Iceland rights through its subsidiary Iceland Resources. In April–May 2026 it entered an option agreement with Aurania Resources under which Aurania can earn up to a 70% interest in the Thormodsdalur (Thor’s Valley) high-grade epithermal gold project by funding exploration. Aurania is currently drilling (six holes planned, \~770 m) with a Finnish contractor. Historical intercepts include high-grade gold results. Aurania posted a Twitter/X update today (September 22, 2026) featuring a CEO-narrated 3D video fly-through of former drill holes at the project, confirming active work on site and a lot of excitement about what the incoming results will bring.
Together, the near-term operational reset at EVSX and the funded advancement of the Iceland gold asset provide two distinct catalysts within a broader portfolio that also includes metallurgical IP and Québec critical-mineral projects.
Good luck!

Doesn’t seem to work for US IP addresses

I’ve built a low-frequency systematic investment strategy with a long historical backtest, extensive robustness testing, and a growing live brokerage track record.
I’m trying to understand the realistic ways to turn it into a larger business or source of income:
Continue trading only my own capital
License the signals or software
Manage outside capital through an SMA or fund
Partner with an asset manager, hedge fund, or family office
Sell the strategy or its IP outright
Has anyone here taken a strategy from personal trading into one of these paths?
Who actually evaluates or buys systematic strategies, and what evidence would they expect before starting a serious conversation?
I’m not soliciting investment or selling anything here—just trying to understand the business, legal, and operational routes.

Fisker is widely known as Fister due to what Henrik has done to investors. They had no production line, no patents, zero assets (and even touted the zero asset model as an advantage lmao). Henrik drew up a decent looking design and it was slapped hastily over a rather mediocre battery-packed Magna platform to give it OK range. The Fisker badge was glued on, and they called it a day. Forget about driving dynamics, refinement, and anything else. Door handles would fall off from UV and the California Mode wouldn't close doggie windows after they were open.
As much as Lucid is circling the drain at least they have IP, a manufacturing plant that could output tens of thousands of vehicles if there was ever demand, and a car with world class range (along with a halo Sapphire built to order) and storage space.
TLDR - lucid, just go up already. Plz.

One runs the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy at Columbia University on Morningside Heights. The other owns more farmland than anyone in America. They never planned to meet. Then Dr. Gadikota and Gates's Breakthrough Energy both walked into the same $4 million stock.
NEW YORK, Dr. Greeshma Gadikota didn't set out to cross paths with Bill Gates.
For most of the last decade she's been on the 116th Street end of things. A Columbia PhD. Stints at Princeton, Wisconsin, Cornell and NIST. Then back uptown to the Columbia Climate School, where she is Professor of Earth & Environmental Engineering, holds the Lenfest Earth Institute Chair, and directs the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy. Three federal CAREER awards, from DOE, NSF and the Army Research Office. Her research question sounds almost quaint: how do you make a rock give up what's inside it
Gates, 2,800 miles away, was asking a bigger version of the same question, with a checkbook.
Neither of them, as far as anyone can tell, knew the other was working the problem. Yet this month both trails lead to the same place: a Vancouver company worth about C$4 million trading under the ticker EONE.
Here's how they got there. Bring a calculator.
THE MAP: 5,600,000,000,000 TONNES
In December 2024, two scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey, Geoffrey Ellis and Sarah Gelman, published a model suggesting the Earth holds roughly 5.6 trillion tonnes of natural hydrogen. Not manufactured. Not electrolyzed. Made by the planet, sitting in the rock.
The world uses about 100 million tonnes of hydrogen a year, nearly all cooked from gas and coal, at a cost of roughly 1 billion tonnes of CO₂. Do the division: 56,000 years of supply. The USGS is careful to say most of it is unreachable. But even a small fraction could meet the world's hydrogen needs for 200 years. Take just 2% and you're still at 1,100 years.
A month later, in January 2025, the USGS drew an X on the American heartland: a prospectivity map of the Mid-Continent Rift, covering Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska.
Washington had already started writing checks. The Energy Department announced it was investing $20 million into 16 projects related to geological hydrogen. ARPA-E separately funded Koloma's well-stimulation research.
And the wells are real. Across the first exploratory drilling in Mali, Australia, the US, and Canada, hydrogen concentrations were frequently over 80%. Gold Hydrogen in Australia confirmed purity levels of up to 86% on the Yorke Peninsula. In Mali, the one producing well on Earth served as a proof-of-concept by using naturally produced hydrogen to power a local village. Oil wells don't come out of the ground 86% pure anything.
THE BILLIONAIRE'S TRAIL: $403,000,000 INTO ONE COMPANY
Gates got there before the map did.
In 2023, his fund, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, chaired by Gates with partner Carmichael Roberts, led a $91 million round into Koloma, a Denver company co-founded by Ohio State geochemist Tom Darrah. Koloma went and drilled: Kansas, Iowa, Idaho. Its subsidiaries High Plains Resources and Twin Rivers Exploration are active in Kansas and Iowa, with the former recently acquiring seismic data over the Mid-Continent Rift in Kansas. Same rift. Same map.
Then Silicon Valley showed up. Koloma's cap table reads like a West Coast power map. Khosla Ventures led a $245.7 million second round in 2024, with Amazon's Climate Pledge Fund and United Airlines' Sustainable Flight Fund alongside. Osaka Gas and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries added $50 million more, bringing the company's total investment to more than $350 million since it launched in 2021. With earlier money, the figure now cited is $403 million, from investors including Khosla Ventures, ASTUTIA Ventures, and Prelude Ventures. All for a company whose public scorecard so far reads "encouraging results"
Put that in context. Global natural hydrogen exploration investment has reached approximately $1 billion in committed capital, with the United States leading at nearly 50%, driven by Koloma's rounds. **One company. Forty cents of every dollar in the sector on Earth.**
And they're doing it while everyone else runs the other way. The IEA reports venture capital for hydrogen continued to fall in 2025, down from a 13% peak in 2023 to 4% of energy VC. Even the big-project money is thin: capital spending on low-emissions hydrogen reached nearly $7 billion in 2025 and could approach $10 billion in 2026. In the U.S., the industry attracted $400 million between January and March, mostly into two large blue hydrogen projects. Compare: $403 million into one natural hydrogen driller, roughly equal to the entire U.S. hydrogen industry's first quarter. The smart money is leaving hydrogen. The smartest money is drilling for it.
Gates's fund then crossed the Atlantic. It seeded Mantle8 in Grenoble with €3.4 million in 2025, and came back for its €31 million Series A in May 2026, alongside Sandwater, Bpifrance, IP Group, Wind Capital and Calderion. That's €34.4 million into a company founded a couple of years ago. Mantle8 produced the first 4D image of a live natural hydrogen system, in the Pyrenees, and holds three natural hydrogen and helium exploration permits in Western Europe. Its tech stack is named like a spy agency: GeoLogix for geological modelling, HOREX for 4D imaging of active underground hydrogen systems and APoGeH for hydrogen-system assessment.
Gates's fund, running tally: two drillers, two continents, $91M plus €3.4M plus a slice of €31M.
And the part the conspiracy crowd loves. Through Cascade Investment, Gates owns 269,000 acres of farmland in 19 states, more than anyone else in America and No. 43 on the 2025 Land Report 100. That's 1,088 square kilometers: the size of Hong Kong, 1.5 Singapores, 18 Manhattans. Louisiana alone, 69,071 acres, is bigger than Washington, D.C. Arkansas: 47,927. Arizona: 25,750. Washington State: 16,097 acres in the Horse Heaven Hills for $171 million. Florida: 14,828. And 20,588 acres across 19 Nebraska counties, bought for $113 million. Nebraska is on the USGS map. So is Iowa, where he holds 552 acres.
Is there any evidence Gates bought farmland for what's under it? None. The farms grow potatoes and soy. But the biggest farmer in America has 20,000 acres in a state the government flagged for hydrogen. We're just pointing at the map.
\## THE PROFESSOR'S TRAIL: THE OTHER HALF OF THE MACHINE
While Gates ws buying drillers, Gadikota was building the reaction.
Her Cornell spinout, Carbon To Stone, became Revora Materials, backed by Frontier, the carbon-removal buyers' club of Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, Meta and McKinsey. Its IonMet process pulls value out of reactive rock.
Her second company, Stone to H2, Inc., in New York, holds her hydrogen IP. She is its CEO.
Both companies, and her Columbia lab, now lead to one door.
\## THE COLLISION: SIX DATES, ONE TICKER
That door is Element One Hydrogen & Critical Minerals Corp. (CSE: EONE / OTC: EHCMF), run by CEO Brad Kitchen with interim CFO Tim Johnson.
\- February 2026: Stone to H2 grants Element One a definitive option and earn-in, paid partly in EONE shares.
\-May 6, 2026: Columbia's Lenfest Center signs a US$1.67 million, two-year sponsored research agreement with Element One.
\- July 7, 2026: Revora partners with Element One.
\- September 10, 2026: Element One announces a dual-pathway natural hydrogen strategy.
\- September 14, 2026: Mantle8, the Gates-backed driller, signs a letter of intent with Element One for British Columbia and Alberta, with an initial 120-day exclusivity period and an automatic 60-day extension, limited to non-stimulated natural hydrogen plays.
\- September 22, 2026, this morning: assays from Twin Sisters, Washington State. Eight samples returned magnesium from 26.39% to 28.46% and nickel from 2,660 to 3,305 ppm. Iron, the ingredient that actually makes hydrogen when water hits the rock, ran 5.0% to 6.1% across every sample. Element One holds the right to purchase up to 50,000 tonnes per year, with an option to increase to 100,000 tonnes. Splits have gone to Revora for IonMet evaluation, while work with Columbia will assess the material's natural hydrogen potential.
Gadikota's route into EONE ran through Morningside Heights. Gates's ran through Grenoble. Eight days ago they collided.
The rock matters. Twin Sisters olivine is being evaluated for hydrogen generation through accelerated serpentinization, the reaction of water with iron-bearing ultramafic rock. That is precisely the professor's specialty. Element One also has ground in BC and Alaska and is raising money in LIFE units at $0.10
Now the number that matters. Market cap: about US$2.93 million, float 48.2 million shares. Call it C$4 million
Stack it up:
\- Koloma's total raise is about 137 times Element One's entire market value.
\- Koloma's Osaka Gas extension alone, $50 million, is 17 times.
\- Mantle8's Series A is roughly 12 times.
\- Columbia's US$1.67 million research deal is more than half of it.
\- Gates's Nebraska farms cost 38 times more than the whole company.
The company holding the Columbia option, the Revora partnership and the Mantle8 LOI is worth less than one of Bill Gates's farms.
To be clear: Bill Gates does not own Element One Breakthrough Energy has not invested in it. What exists is one LOI between Element One and a company Gates's fund backs. That's the whole connection. But look at who is standing in the same room.
\## THE TRIGGER: +65% IN ONE MONTH
Why now? On February 28, 2026, the Strait of Hormuz closed. Brent jumped 65% in March, the biggest quarterly move since 1988, and sits near $100 today. The IMF puts the unpriced cost of fossil fuels at $7 trillion a year
Meanwhile, natural hydrogen companies project wellhead costs of $0.50 to $1.00 per kilogram, plus about $0.50 for purification, for $1.00 to $1.50 fully processed. Green hydrogen currently costs $2.28 to $7.39 per kilogram. If the projections hold, the Earth makes it at a fifth of the price. At 100 million tonnes a year, every dollar per kilogram saved is $100 billion a yea.
Oil spent a century learning to drill. The next rush may use the same rigs, the same crews, the same basins, chasing a different molecule.
\## THE BOARD
Own the ground. Own the drill. Own the reaction.
The ground belongs to landowners. The drill belongs to Koloma and Mantle8, private companies funded by billionaires you can't buy into. The reaction, the Columbia science that makes rock give up hydrogen on purpose, sits inside a public company worth about C$4 million.
A professor and a billionaire, working independently for years, on opposite ends of the same question. They ended up in the smallest box on the board.
Conspiracy? We're just asking questions.
This article is opinion and speculative commentary. It does not allege wrongdoing by, or any undisclosed relationship between, any person or entity named. Natural hydrogen is an early-stage, unproven resource; no company named has announced commercial production, and Element One states it has established no mineral resource or reserve and has not demonstrated hydrogen generation from Twin Sisters. Element One is a micro-cap, speculative security with high risk
Not investment advice.

Bunch of legacy IP, middling recent IP and some decent popular IP but no guarantees of anything in the future

Possibly. Is a function of IP address or device?

They’re using a service to protect their website that has you flagged. If you’re on residential internet you lease an address a range shared with other customers of your internet service provider. One of them probably did something bad and now you have that address after they burnt it. Try disconnecting your modem and router for a bit to try to get a new IP.

Cloudflare is a web security network that site owners use to stop automated bot attacks, DDoS floods and malicious scraping. When automated security filters trigger a false positive, Cloudflare intercepts the request before it even reaches Money Metals.
Are you using a VPN? Shared IP addresses from VPNs are often flagged if another user on that same IP was behaving suspiciously.
Quick sanity check: Open Money Metals Exchange on another device, maybe your phone. If the homepage loads without the block screen, the issue was localized to your previous IP or possibly browser setup.

Nah since it’s all IP you can’t use any models that’s why the interviews r so hard

The simple reason is AMD is no.1 in CPUs and no.2 in GPUs. CPUs have all of a sudden become very important (think of memory 1yr ago) and forward CAGR has grown from 10% to 30% to 50% to 70% in a short span of 6-9 months. CPU:GPU ratio is expected to be 1:1 going forward, down from 1:8 previously. Meanwhile, GPU market is still growing as we see from NVDA's projections.
so no.1 in GPU gets you 5.5T (NVDA)
no.1 in ASICS gets you 1.7T (AVGO)
if you are no.1 in CPU + no.2 in GPU, aren't you going to be worth 2-3T even assuming no growth in overall semis? and AMD has huge amount of IP and can compete in ASICS as well (custom chips for META, GOOGL, MSFT, etc).
the multiples everyone is quoting are based on old estimates or historical 12 month numbers. Market moves based on 1-2 year forward earnings.

I used to work as an EA for the CEO of a now-delisted speccy shitcap and the CEO used to spend a great deal of time managing 4 different burners, 3 of which were pro-company, then he had a fourth account pretending to be a hater that he would rebuke with positive spin talking points. I can't believe this website is allowed to freely operate. Though I can offer some knowledge: HC gets a LOT of subpoenas asking for user IP addresses. Quite frequently

royalties on IP means steady cash flow even if AI hype dies down feels like a slight hedge against my usual puts nightmare

The closer you get to simple deterministic protocols the more open source is used because there is less liability risk.
No one is going to sue a bank because their website transmits over TCP/IP packets.
But if their Kimi Virtual Teller causes someone to send all their money to a Chinese triad because they wanted to save a fraction of a cent per token, there's going to be a pile on from every lawyer and three letter agency.

VICR - IP, Royalties .. AI Vertical Power Delivery (VPD)

It's worth looking at some of the moves Anthropic is making towards automated scientific research. They've open sources a lab-equipment control standard following the same playbook they've used for MCP and Agent Skills that served them very well. Now they are investing in bio-tech lab space with the goal of becoming the feeder for a new generation of pharmaceuticals. The royalty potential here is huge. And the ability to guard against distillation attacks is much higher. They have plausible arguments for keeping biotech knowledge out of public hands (safety) and automated research could build a very hard to replicate proprietary data moat.
Absolutely look for their business model to start expanding well beyond selling tokens via API and into selling and licencing IP discovered/developed by their superior internal models.

Nah I work in the field globally, NVO is super dog shit at cybersecurity and the leaks are severe in term of IP value and will continue to happen as they are unwilling to fix the issues. They are FAR worse than any competitor and they will go the way of Nortel.

Three Canadian-listed names. Three completely different sectors. Three different catalysts I’m watching into next quarter.
**$CQX — Copper Quest Exploration**
Price: **\~C$0.065**
Market cap: **\~C$7.8M**
Copper-focused explorer with **8 projects spanning 46,000+ hectares across Canada and the U.S.**
Rip drilling commenced in May with a minimum 2,000 m program, while Stars launched a **32.4 km² IP survey**ahead of drilling scheduled for September–October. The wider portfolio includes Stellar, Kitimat, Thane, Alpine, Nekash and Auxer.
**What I’m watching:** Which project starts separating itself enough for investors to assign more value to the wider portfolio?
**$SKUR — Sekur Private Data**
Price: **\~C$0.045**
Market cap: **\~C$11.7M**
Cybersecurity and private communications company built around **SekurOne**, combining secure email, messaging, VPN, encrypted voice and video conferencing in one platform.
**What I’m watching:** Whether continued product progress starts translating into stronger customer adoption and commercial traction.
**$FLT — Volatus Aerospace**
Price: **\~C$0.52**
Market cap: **\~C$375M**
Canadian-controlled aerospace and defence company focused on **uncrewed systems, aerial intelligence, ISR, autonomous technology and mission-critical aerial operations.**
**What I’m watching:** Whether defence and drone opportunities translate into more contract wins, stronger revenue contribution and greater visibility into future work.
So the setup is pretty different:
**$CQX → Discovery**
**$SKUR → Adoption**
**$FLT → Contracts**
Three sectors. Three completely different ways for the next quarter to change the story.
**Which catalyst do you think has the best chance of surprising the market next quarter: $CQX, $SKUR or $FLT?**
*Prices and market caps are approximate and can change with trading.*
