Jason Simpkins of Angel Publishing's Outsider Club is pitching “The Retinal Matrix” through Secret Stock Files; we trace the stock and test the $7 trillion claim.
One promotion, several names — all of them point to the same pitch, and the same stock.
“The Clandestine Military Program That Is About to Unleash $7 Trillion in New Wealth” is the headline Jason Simpkins is using for an Angel Publishing and Outsider Club promotion selling the paid publication Secret Stock Files.
The pitch points to a tiny DARPA-funded contractor with hundreds of patents, a price below $5, about $50 million in revenue, a supposed $52 million Army deal, and links to Google and Lenovo. The offer says only the first 70 people who sign up today get in.
We identify the headline stock below. Our confidence is high: 93 out of 100.
The promotion gives away an unusually specific trail: a small defense-display company, a DARPA contract, retinal-display patents, a Google Glass connection, a Lenovo relationship, revenue near $50 million, and a share price around $5. The patent clues are especially useful because they point to identifiable filings rather than just a cinematic military codename.
The same pitch is also branded as “Retinal Matrix” and “The Clandestine Military Program.” Those are alternate labels for the same idea, not separate stock discoveries.
The headline stock is Kopin Corporation (KOPN). Its own history page records a $50 million DARPA contract, and Kopin is a small defense-microdisplay company with about 145 employees. Its FY2024 results reported $50.3 million in total revenue, while KOPN traded at about $4.37 in pre-market trading. Those are unusually clean matches to the copy.
The patent trail tightens the identification. Kopin owns or has published the exact kind of display technology described in the promotion, including an OLED design with separately anoded subpixels and dielectric barriers, a silicon thin-film-transistor array patent, and a pixel-driver design using a ramp generator and two amplifiers. Kopin's Google Glass release confirms that Google selected its microdisplays, while the company's records document its Lenovo New Vision relationship.
The numbers get wobblier. Kopin's current history page says more than 200 patents, while the more-than-300 figure comes from a 2006 earnings call. Its 2025 Form 10-K disclosed a $15.4 million Army Contracting Command OTA, not a $52 million Family of Weapon Sight award. The $800 million figure in Kopin's 2012 annual report referred to the broader wearable-computing market, not a Google investment, and the $500 million Lenovo figure referred to fund capital rather than Lenovo's investment in Kopin.
Two bonus reports are lower-confidence guesses, not solved facts. “Light-Speed Profits” most plausibly points to Lightwave Logic (LWLG), with 68 out of 100 confidence, while “Mass Awakening” may point to Amentum Holdings (AMTM), with 44 out of 100 confidence. LWLG fits the electro-optic-polymer and AI-data-center angle, though PK-10 itself isn't publicly verified. AMTM has real Nevada, drone, hypersonics, and electronic-warfare ties, but the Area 51 IPO and anti-gravity story aren't established.
The offer bundles 2 bonus reports that tease their own stocks. These get a sentence or two of copy each, so the evidence is much thinner than for the main pick and what follows is our best reading rather than a confident answer.
| Bonus report | Our best guess | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Light-Speed Profits: Inside the New Tech Frenzy With the Potential to Drive 1,000% Gains or MORE | LWLG — Lightwave Logic, Inc. | 68/100 — solid |
| Mass Awakening: The Area 51 IPO with 15x Potential | AMTM — Amentum Holdings Inc. | 44/100 — best guess |
The claim-by-claim table below separates the solid identification clues from the promotional inflation. It checks the copy against Kopin's history page, earnings call, 10-K, patent publications, Google Glass release, Lenovo records, Lightwave Logic's 10-K, Amentum's filings, Defense Department contract records, and the companies' own technology pages.
| The promotion claims | Verdict | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Kopin's patents belong to a group of 300 patents critical to the Retinal Matrix. | Overstated | Kopin's current history page says it has more than 200 patents, while a 2006 Kopin earnings call cited more than 300; the promotion presents the older count as a current figure. |
| All 300 patents are owned by a tiny DARPA-funded government contractor. | Checks out | Kopin's history records a $50 million DARPA contract, and Kopin owns the cited display patents while operating as a small defense-microdisplay company with about 145 employees. |

The deadline is attached to a signup limit: the first 70 people who join today. It isn't tied in the promotion to an earnings date, regulatory decision, product launch, or other checkable corporate event.
We received this campaign on one day, September 11, 2026. That's too thin a record to say whether the deadline rolls, so the honest answer is that we can't judge its persistence from one observation.
This is the fifth Jason Simpkins pitch we've identified. The earlier matches were Mercury Systems under “Golden Dome Riches,” down 22.32% since we revealed it; Amentum under “UAP Defense Contractor,” up 0.4%; Joby Aviation under “Uber Air,” down 20.83%; and Rocket Lab under “Galactic Supply Chain,” down 11.56%.
Amentum is already in that ledger, and it appears again here as the lower-confidence “Mass Awakening” bonus match. Five identifications are still a small sample, but the results above are the numbers currently attached to them.
The promotion's central claim is that a secret military program will unlock a $7 trillion retinal-display revolution, and Kopin is the tiny patent-rich contractor positioned to profit.
The first link holds. Kopin really does have relevant display patents, a DARPA history, defense customers, a Google Glass connection, and a Lenovo relationship. The chain breaks when those facts are inflated into a $7 trillion opportunity. The least-supported link is the jump from technical capability to enormous company-specific revenue: the filings don't support the claimed $52 million Army award, $800 million Google push, or $500 million Lenovo investment described in the pitch.
As a package, the offer mixes one strong headline identification with two guesses. KOPN carries the main thesis. LWLG has the most credible technical side-angle because its filings discuss electro-optic polymers, AI, cloud, data-center and optical-module markets, plus licensing and materials sales, but PK-10 isn't publicly verified. AMTM has genuine government and defense work, including hypersonics and electronic warfare, but its anti-gravity and 15-times claims have no filing support.
On its own merits, KOPN is a real small display and defense business with FY2024 revenue of $50.3 million and a meaningful patent base. That could make it a speculative small-cap research candidate. It doesn't make the $7 trillion conclusion inevitable. The riddle is solved; the grandest part of the investment case isn't.
How confident are we? 93 out of 100. We identified Kopin Corporation (KOPN) from the promotion's own clues and checked 24 of its claims against filings, earnings calls, ownership records, market data and public reporting. This is our analysis, not the publisher's disclosure — we have no relationship with them.
Knowing which stock it is only gets you halfway. We score KOPN on valuation, profitability, growth, financial health and momentum — and reach our own conclusion, independent of how it was sold to you.

| Checks out |
| KOPN traded at about $4.37 in pre-market trading, consistent with the promotion's just-under-$5 price description. |
| Kopin's revenue was just $50 million last year. | Checks out | Kopin's FY2024 results reported total revenue of $50.3 million, while product revenue was $43.6 million, closely matching the promoted figure. |
| Kopin signed a $52 million Army deal for Family of Weapon Sight components. | Contradicted | Kopin's 2025 Form 10-K disclosed a $15.4 million Army Contracting Command OTA; the $52 million figure was associated with revenue guidance, not a disclosed $52 million Family of Weapon Sight award. |
| Google will use Kopin as the supplier for an $800 million Retinal Matrix push. | Contradicted | Kopin's Google Glass release confirms that Google selected Kopin microdisplays, but Kopin's 2012 annual report used $800 million as an estimate for the overall wearable-computing market, not as Google's investment or push. |
| Lenovo's $500 million Capital and Incubator Group partnered with Kopin on Retinal Matrix technology. | Overstated | Kopin and Lenovo formed Lenovo New Vision in 2017, but Kopin said the $500 million referred to LCIG's Phase II fund capital and that Kopin made only a small capital investment. |
| Kopin owns an OLED patent with three separately anoded subpixels surrounded by dielectric barriers. | Checks out | Kopin's published application US20200388658 describes three subpixels with separate anodes and dielectric barriers around the anodes. |
| Kopin owns a patent covering thin-film transistor arrays diced from silicon for transfer to a common module body. | Checks out | Kopin's U.S. Patent 5,256,562 describes thin-film transistor arrays on silicon substrates and dicing and tiling them for transfer to a common module body. |
| Kopin owns a pixel-driver patent using a ramp generator and two amplifiers. | Checks out | Kopin's published application 20170110046 describes a ramp signal generator feeding first and second amplifiers for separate pixel sets. |
| The company behind PK-10 trades below $10 a share. | Checks out | Lightwave Logic traded at about $5.08 in pre-market trading, below the bonus report's $10 threshold. |
| PK-10 is Lightwave Logic's electro-optic polymer for photonic interconnects. | Can't verify | Lightwave Logic's 2025 Form 10-K describes its Perkinamine electro-optic polymer family for silicon photonics, but no Lightwave Logic filing or product page publicly identifies a product called PK-10. |
| Lightwave Logic's photonic technology is intended to replace copper in AI data centers. | Can't verify | Lightwave Logic identifies AI, cloud, data-center, and optical-module markets as targets, but its Form 10-K does not expressly make the specific replace-copper claim. |
| Lightwave Logic uses licensing and materials sales to commercialize its technology. | Checks out | Lightwave Logic's 2025 Form 10-K says its commercialization strategy combines material sales, intellectual-property licensing, process-design-kit enablement, and royalty or fee arrangements. |
| The relevant photonic market could reach $100 billion by 2030. | Overstated | LightCounting said AI-cluster optical-interconnect sales could reach $100 billion by 2030, but Grand View Research forecasts the broader optical-transceiver market at $36.24 billion by 2033; the promotion uses the high-end, narrower category as a general market figure. |
| Amentum became public through an Area 51 IPO. | Contradicted | Amentum became public through the 2024 combination of legacy Amentum with Jacobs businesses and began regular NYSE trading under AMTM; its filings do not describe an Area 51 IPO. |
| Amentum has ties to the Nevada Test and Training Range. | Checks out | Amentum's space-range capability page lists support for the Nevada Test and Training Range at Nellis Air Force Base. |
| Amentum has worked on anti-gravity for more than 70 years. | Can't verify | Amentum's Form 10-K describes predecessor businesses and space, engineering, and microgravity-related work, but no public Amentum filing establishes anti-gravity work or a 70-year program. |
| Amentum has public ties to drone work. | Checks out | The Defense Department awarded Amentum predecessor URS Federal Services a remotely piloted aircraft services contract covering Nevada Test and Training Range, Creech, and Tonopah facilities. |
| Amentum has publicly acknowledged anti-drone work. | Can't verify | Amentum's Form 10-K discusses intelligence and counter-threat solutions, but it does not expressly identify anti-drone or counter-UAS work. |
| Amentum has publicly acknowledged hypersonic work. | Checks out | Amentum's FY2025 Form 10-K lists hypersonics among its growth markets alongside autonomy and space-based missile defense. |
| Amentum has publicly acknowledged electronic-warfare work. | Checks out | Amentum's space-range capability page lists Air Force Electronic Warfare Operations Training and Infrastructure Maintenance services. |
| Amentum has $60 billion in government contracts. | Overstated | Amentum reported total backlog of $47.2 billion as of January 2, 2026, including $6.9 billion of funded backlog; its filings do not support a $60 billion government-contract figure. |
| Amentum offers potential for 15-times gains. | Can't verify | Amentum's filings and market disclosures provide no substantiated 15-times return forecast. |
