SLI has dropped to 52-week lows of $1.73 and could represent a good opportunity to buy at an attractive price. Within the last few days several Company Executives have executed informative buys of nearly 100,000 shares.

Downward pressure seems to be mainly driven by pressure from China and continued lack of profitability. At a recent investor conference SLI highlighted strong project economics, government support and long-term demand growth.

The company seems confident that their key Southwest Arkansas project will receive funding by end of 2026 allowing them to officially begin construction and a path towards profitability.

I checked my investments this morning and I just passed $700,000 after nearly 18 years in the military at the age of 38. Between this and equity in my home I have now passed over $1,000,000. I started as an E-1 after graduating high school and began investing as soon as I joined at the advice of family.

I did not do anything special but remained consistent in saving 25-35% of my paycheck over these last 18 years. I have been a passive investor between a Roth IRA, TSP, and taxable non-retirement mutual fund.

Now that I have a family and 3 kids there have been years where I have had to throttle back on investing as much but I always try my hardest to keep at it. My goal is to retire within the next 3-5 years from the military and ultimately totally retire by 50 using my pension and savings.

For any young folks with potential for a pension do not slack on the investing! Start early and stay consistent.
