ASTR

TheRetailInv

The warrant means more dilution. Not a good thing for people who bought at $30. Very tough way down. Regarding technical uncertainty, given the big uncertainty, many pro spreadsheet already compare this to NVDA. Isnt too farfetched? Closer comparison would be a SPAC to SPAC. More like $QS or $ASTR or $SPCE would be apple to apple. So Abel said 13 GB expand 10X is achievable in Block 2 with 10 times size, that means size is physical limiting factor in terms of capacity. I am just using pure simple down to earth logic.

ASTR was a takeunder, take private at .50c.

Financial-Egg-8538

This has been a bad week for me lol. I Also held ASTR which just went private and I do not know how to recoup my investment which I'm trying to learn more about. In addition to SPCE I also hold AEZN each down $500 or so. I had about a $1k or less in each and bought have I lost my lessen. Most of my SPCE stock was bought back at $8-10 but I looed at all the shares I bought after averaging down and made me laugh that I bought two shares at $50. I even bought at $25 a handful of times although the rest of my buys were at $12 and under. The rest of my portfolio is safe with GOLD shares and like REITS and Monthly DIVs but man I wish I could just get back that 2-3k to put into something safe.

>Rocket Lab's ability to restrict access to its rockets and achieve launch scales beyond the reach of smaller competitors could effectively marginalize companies like Astra in the long run. You are talking about the wrong company. Astra is ticker ASTR. ASTS is AST Spacemobile.

Rocket Lab (RKLB) stands out as a superior all-in-one, end-to-end space company with a sustainable business model. Its comprehensive approach ensures its enduring presence in the market. In contrast, Astra faces significant financial challenges, including warnings of imminent bankruptcy and severe liquidity issues. The company received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq and has struggled to maintain profitability, with substantial net losses and negative margins [oai_citation:1,Astra founders reduce offer to take company private - SpaceNews](https://spacenews.com/astra-founders-reduce-offer-to-take-company-private/) [oai_citation:2, Astra Space (ASTR) Stock Price, News & Analysis ](https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/ASTR/) [oai_citation:3, 3 Shaky Space Stocks to Jettison Sooner Rather Than Later | InvestorPlace ](https://investorplace.com/2024/02/3-shaky-space-stocks-to-jettison-sooner-rather-than-later/). Given these financial difficulties, Astra is vulnerable to competitive pressure from industry leaders like Rocket Lab. Rocket Lab's ability to restrict access to its rockets and achieve launch scales beyond the reach of smaller competitors could effectively marginalize companies like Astra. As Rocket Lab continues to expand its capabilities and market presence, it is well

Cormano_Wild_219

A lot of people seem to think ASTS will instantly monopolize “space phones” once they launch their satellites later this year. I’ve seen a few “ASTS is the next NVDA” posts and comment recently. Like you said it’s a high risk play for sure. I’ve picked up a few shares but if their launch plans, which are sometime around August iirc, don’t go as expected this could get real dicey (looking at you ASTR)

ASTR. Bought in July 2021, currently down 99.67%. No point in selling until I need to offset some capital gains.

If you put $150 into $ASTR when it was a SPAC you would have $0.50 left when it got taken private 

doctor_trades

I bought ASTR at $.80 ask me anything

n0chance_

Hi, I have ASTR stock. I saw in the news it is going private and will be sold at 0.50 share, for which I will have a loss (\~$1200) Knowing that I will have a loss on this, I am wondering if I should sell another stock that is positive, to take advantage of the loss for long-term capital gains tax. If so, how to go about calculating how much loss offsets capital gains tax? Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

deadcowww

Looks like ASTR is going private (selling back to the founders) to avoid bankruptcy. What does that mean to current bag holders?

Starkfault

$ASTR went private today At $0.50 share It had a 15:1 reverse-split a few months ago ​

fwvpsvdituuibyup

Don't know the specifics of the situation, but it seems that for $ASTR there are only two options: take the deal valuing the company at $0.50 per share, or completely liquidate the company. In this context, the board thinks taking the deal is the better option, as a liquidation could leave existing shareholders with nothing at all (or at least, with less than $0.50 per share). If you don't want to sell your shares it's because you don't believe the company will need to liquidate, and thus think taking the $0.50 per share deal is a worse decision than keeping your shares and seeing how it plays out (the company might liquidate and you get nothing, or they might survive and the future share price could go back above $0.50). Regardless, unless there's a shareholder vote, you won't have a say in the decision.

How is everyone feeling about $ASTR? Government is going to need to contract companies to send up military com satalites, just trying to predict the one that will ge tthe contract.

Nemisis_the_2nd

I bought ASTR when they got a contract to launch near where I live. Then they had a series of test failures and dropped 90+% in price. 

Shuttle_Tydirium1319

Who hasn't lost money on space stocks? ASTR fucked me. My biggest L to date. I did manage to jump out when SPCE had that stupid run up and make some money. I still hold some RKLB because they are actually doing stuff, like launching rockets, and I'm sure will have their own random stonk blast off in the future.

giovannigiannis

I lost money on SPCE and ASTR. That was painful enough. But the hardest part is having to live with feeling like the dingus who gambled on space-coffins. Obviously that’s a losing business. But the hype got me. I am that guy. It’s embarrassing. But now you’re all that guy, so that makes me happy.

I've got a small amount in Astra Space (ASTR). Their launch operations business failed, but they still have a potential niche in orbital propulsion. Owners put out a bid to take it private so clearly they still have some faith

MPW did not go the way I expected. I also put a little into space stocks like RKLB, PL, ASTR, VORB, LLAP and others after they dropped 90% from their SPAC IPO. Then they went down another 90%. I guess space is empty and full of death instead of expanding with infinite possibilities.

MigratingSwallow

Any of you all follow $ASTR? I was in pretty heavy some time ago and pulled out at about $6~. Wtf has happened to this company the last year? Can't get their launches up? I've been looking at $RKLB too, but not entirely sure how solid they are.

MigratingSwallow

It'll recover imo. They're probably the better competitor out there. You could've been a nugget and bought $ASTR and lost your ass on that but Rocketlab seems like a 6-12 month horizon is pretty decent. You should transfer that to another account so you don't have to look at it if your intention is to hold and forget.

TheRealWhiskers

Astra Space $ASTR Thankfully I only went in with $500 which is now worth $32.50 as of today. I was already going in hard with Rocket Lab $RKLB and I continue to believe that they will succeed, but I was hyped and at the time Astra had just had a successful launch. I have since watched them fail and spend investor money in very bad ways, as well as learned that the CEO is kind of a massive asshole and regularly makes false claims and accusations. The only thing they're good for at this point is showing as a loss.

MigratingSwallow

Pltr or ASTR

Motampd

We have simlair portfolios its sounds like. I highly recommend RKLB as well. They are clearly the best option as far as investing in public company, where as ASTR and RDW as well as SPCE are all far less proven and established. I personally think Peter Beck is a smart guy - and RKLB will be big. THe success of Neutron will either make or break them.

CallingAllChickens

I have a ton of losses but some of my biggest ones (above 90% losses) are ASTR, WKHS, HYLN, and RIDE. Like you, these are such a small % of my portfolio that it doesn’t matter that much. Still stings a bit when I think that could’ve been put in index funds instead but hey, you live and you learn 😅

Lol I own rocketlab which I think still has promise. I absolutely have you beat though because I hold Astra space (ASTR). I bought because they were the only space stock at the time that went through the SPAC process (I was big into SPACs at the time) and I tried to make up for getting rid of Virgin Galactic before they had their big pop in 2021. Luckily the position wasn't big.

Just got in and have a solid position(couple thousand shares at 4.39). Adding more under 4$. Captured small launch, ASTR and Relativity both shifted to their larger payload rockets, but Neutron will take that market as they will beat them to launch and reliability. Then the space services side and that contract, will be profitable soon. The hypersonics testing contract is a nice topper. Not worried about being

veritasanmortem

In the case of this paper, cherry-picking refers to giving equal weight when counting the few thousand stocks that are generally invested in along with the tens of thousands of stocks which are not. This produces a skew with the most relevant data in a small edge portion of the curve. When you look at something like the components of the S&P500, Russell 2000 or Russell 3000 (or similarly traded index), you produce a different (and more relevant) result which is more instructive to investors. Counting the likes of AAPL and the likes of ASTR equally and providing mean counts shouldn’t be taken as a general conclusion of the total market or its behavior. As for the 2.4%, the paper’s charts (like chart 8 on page 45) doesn’t even reflect that statistic (or at the very least, the statistics is misleading). Think of it this way, if 2.4% of all companies produced ALL the aggregated stock market wealth creation, it implies that the other 97.6% produced zero or negative wealth creation. I understand that the top company created a majority of the total aggregate growth and many produced negative growth, but there is no way that ALL global stock growth was generated by only 1600 companies over the last 30 years. Just the fact that the Russell 2000 (a capitalization weighted index) was at the all time high at the end of 2020 tells me that even the majority of small caps grew significantly during the period in question. As I am reading through this, I’m seeing a number of other issues in how data is counted and the cutoff of data included. Either way, an interesting paper, but I do not feel the conclusions are valid. Of course, this is just an opinion of a random internet person.

somekindafuzz

It’s too late. Already bought a couple thousand of RKLB. They still seem promising to me, especially with revenue from other parts of the company and not just launches, but if the SPAC space stocks were gonna flop in general then bye money. I was curious what other people thought. Don’t want it to end up like ASTR.

Juliet_Whiskey

Welp, ASTR is pretty much dead in the water. I remember writing FD’s for like 10 bucks not too long ago

ModestlyMinted

Rocket Lab is the only space stock I consider an investment. I also own Boeing who will be a big player in the industry. I have small positions in ASTS, ASTR, VORB, LUNR and SPCE. I traded SPCE actively years ago so all of the remaining shares I have are at no cost. These positions are all just bets with the idea that should these survive to see the space boom they’ll catch the tailwind of FOMO. My cost is low enough any spike will show a profit and should all of these go to zero I won’t lose any sleep over it. I can’t say that I recommend any of these stocks as an investment. These are pure gamble plays for me so do your DD if you plan to put any serious money in these.

Racecarsarefast

Since you're talking about fun, let's pass on the major players like Lockheed, Boeing, Google, Amazon, etc... SPCE, RKLB, GSAT, LLAP, and for a real GAMBLE...ASTR SPCE Branson's space tourism company has been bleeding money for quite some time now and they've delayed launching paying customers ever since the inaugural flight. While these sound bad they are actually quite positive. The money they are burning isn't just because of bad Financials, its because they are investing in the company, ships, and infrastructure as well as the overall astronaut "experiece" facilities. And as far as the delays go, wouldn't you rather they got it right without killing anyone? They also still have enough money to burn for nearly the next 2 years without even taking in any additional revenue at their current rate. RKLB Rocket Lab is the leading satellite/small rocket company outside of Space-X. They have been continuously successful in their launches and have contracts with NASA and Space Force, as well as private customers. They are developing a new rocket to compete with Musk's company for heavier payloads. If you're looking purely at a launch company that's public then this is the one. GSAT Globalstar is a satellite company that specializes in mobile satellite services, including agricultural, government, disaster relief and more. They recently signed a huge contract with Apple for Satellite SOS/Emergency messaging. Apple has invested millions of dollars into the company to build land based stations to assist in the SOS calling as well as to build the satellites. Even if they struggle down the road it's a promising buyout option for Apple. LLAP Terran Orbital is one that is just starting to hit the mainstream as it was recently awarded a $2.4 BILLION contract to build/launch a LEO constellation of 96 satellites for earth imagery as well as over $100 Million from Lockheed Martin in an agreement through 2035. This one could Rival RKLB for supremacy in the years to come. Lastly... ASTR This one depends on if you're a degenerate gambler or not. Astra Space started off high risk, basic reward. They said hey, were gonna charge you less than anyone else but your shit may explode or not even make it to Space. And that's exactly what happened. So much so that they went back on that and said OK we're not gonna keep doing this. They are developing a new rocket that is to be tested in the latter part of this year as well as still receiving orders for their engines from satellite companies. At Penny Stock levels this one is definitely a gamble but don't we all like to make boat loads of money for next to no effort. Hope some of this helps!
