ASTS

RevolutionaryPhoto24

It still is, I think. But my plan is in place, now. (After hubbub of launch subsides, assuming all goes well, I will sell covered calls OTM and buy more shares, but beyond that, as stated in my previous posts.) And as the position has grown large and I expect it to grow larger, I’m off on to the next. What’s striking is that no one wants to take the risk on the next (some for that matter don’t want to buy into ASTS because of remaining risk and recent run up, despite the imbalances risk:reward. I’ve shared the position I’m building (in AUR,) also pre revenue, with amazing tech, brilliant CEO, upcoming catalysts but clearly still early, but no one is interested yet, which I find odd given how many comments I’ve seen saying “why didn’t you share this sooner?” about ASTS. I thought it due to risk aversion, but the penchant for gambling 0DTES to near zero and probable and frequent loss, leads me to believe that it’s due to something else. (Obviously I have a high risk tolerance given these choices, but am spreading my bets a bit.) I agree that ASTS has a great deal of promise and the likelihood that it is a steal at this prices in the long term, is great.

Currently holding 4 ASTS $10c exp 8/16. Bought for $2.65. Stock currently sits at $19.09. IV is very high (160%). Can sell each contract for about $7.90 ($7.9 to $10 range currently) which would net me $3200 minus the $1,060 premium. My questions is, if I exercise the options wouldn’t I get $3800 minus the $1,060 premium? Just seems like the high IV makes this move worthwhile. I wouldn’t mind holding the 400 shares but I never exercised before so any help would be appreciated. Thx in advance.

People on other subs have been asking what the next ASTS is. A lot of them are saying it’s still ASTS lol

ASTS do I buy 100 more shares, or 4 Jan 25 $20Calls

Isn’t ASTS still tiny?

Bird-watcher1

I believed in ASTS too. This is great, tho. Good job.

DiversificationNoob

Well, one could argue that ASTS is second place to SpaceX starlink. SpaceX has more satellite to cell satellites in orbit, more experience with building thousands of satellites at ultra low cost and is also launching them.

intrigue_investor

got into ASTS by chance in Feb, however looking to exit in the coming month or so, reasons being: * levels of hysteria * most of the investor base seemingly believing there will be 0 competition (turn your attention to legacy satellite providers and the billions in cash they have available to compete as one example) * riding to some extent off "space" hype maybe I'm wrong however

the_blue_pil

I'm genuinely happy to hear I've made at least some positive difference to you and a few others. I have about 17k shares now. I posted my up to date position in my recent post on wsb. Pretty much all derisking events are coming by mid next year. All along the way there are catalysts that are going to pump the price, there is ~20% short interest (26million shares shorted) that are getting absolutely fucked. They're having to cover now but while doing so they also help to keep the share price above $18. That's important because when we're able to keep it above $18 for 20 out of 30 days, ASTS can force execution of warrants netting them over $100million in extra funds, financially derisking them further, making the price go up, making the shorts cover more etc etc.

I can still see the weekly graph for ASTS.

7 ASTS threads on the front page, it’s about that time….

WorkSucks135

I read somewhere that ASTS's sats are too heavy for Rocketlab's rockets.

Capable_Wait09

What’s the revenue timeframe for LUNR though? ASTS’ launches will be a huge step toward realizing revenue SOON. The LUNR launch sounds some akin to ASTS’ first satellite phone call without using land infrastructure. It worked and the stock went up but then it came back down.

foldyaup

Throw it all into ASTS and come back on half a year

Lucky you. I decided between ASTS and ORGN.

Buying Google 25 years ago wouldn't be possible since they entered the stock market in 2004 finshing the year with a profit of ~400M Regardless of that I'm not saying it's not a good investment (ASTS) heck if it's profitable (for you) it's a great investment but I wouldn't say "why sell we're just getting started" cause it's not a great buisness plan. Like I said: High costs of Research and development High costs of manufacturing Limited manufacturing Not (very) scalable Your product has a considerably risk of getting toasted/break/explode etc... and even if (just) one satelite goes wrong you're dead

uzcaez

Difference is Google can actually afford to lose that money. Google tries millions of things... not all go well not all go wrong but their buisness isn't solely dependent in ONE THING. Like I said... the risks for ASTS are much bigger than it was for companies like Google or Microsoft when starting... heck even Coca-Cola. A satelite costs hundreds of millions to produce and another hundreds to develop. You have budget to do a dozen whilist: If a couple of them goes wrong not only will investors loose confidence and you'll lose a lot of your money. On top of that it's a very small market... you won't have 30000 orders per year. Puting it more simply: you're building something expensive as hell that can break if it breaks you'll lose a huge % of your money. Your business is not profitable and will continue to be for a lot of years due to low demand. What examples of this do you want? Space x? Virgin galactic?

ASTS is gonna make me a hundredaire

kickinwood

I decided last year to go hard on two "gamble" stocks. I wanted 1000 RKLB and 1000 ASTS. I got to 500 of each when ASTS diluted. Lost confidence and went to 1000 on RKLB only. Mistakes were made. I don't know if RKLB will shoot to the moon. I'm just a guy. Most of my shit is in ETFs. But take affordable swings. While I'm kicking myself for not having double ASTS profits...I am enjoying half.

masalaswag

Defining terms is important, so by “next ASTS”, I’ll use the definition of a stock that can double in value in five years like ASTS has (ipo in 2019 was a tad under $10 and now it is approaching $20 on this run, if the momentum is sustained). With that definition in tow, I’ll go with SHEIN. There is a lot of virtue signaling regarding their labor practices, taking advantage of tax loopholes, and environmental impact, but much of this is political yakety-yak when you consider the shenanigans many other businesses get away with in the name of profits. - The hand-wringing about their ethics has led to a failed IPO in New York and likely a subsequent failed IPO in London. This will mean they’ll end up doing the IPO in the friendlier exchange of Hong Kong and they’ll miss out on lucrative western investment. The company’s valuation in last year’s fundraising round was $66-billion but I’m anticipating a Day 1 discount due to decreased valuation solely because the IPO will be in HK. - Although the company has released very limited financial information, analysts at Bernstein estimated the company’s net profit went from $700-million to $2-billion in the last year. A few QRs that show those numbers should be catalysts for stock price growth. - Anyone else notice what’s been going on with NKE, LULU, LVMH, Burberry, Swatch, etc? The low- and mid-level consumer has traded down and out of high-priced fashion and this trend only benefits a company like SHEIN. - The only countries that I am aware of that have actually looked to close the taxation loopholes SHEIN takes advantage of are South Africa and Brazil. Yawn - the UK, US, and EU might do something but it feels like all talk right now. Sure, there are potential headwinds that increase the risk. The China connection could bite them in butt. Amazon has already planned to do some marketplace thing to compete. Maybe the Western governments actually do something. But, overall, this company seems to have an interesting runway to double in a half decade. All that being said, I can’t quantify my anticipated position or determine my strategy until more is known about the IPO price or take a look at the option chain for LEAPS.

Familiar_Emu3651

look into ASTS

Capable_Wait09

I’m pretty leveraged with NVDA calls (Sept and later dte tho and they’re almost ITM so I’m not cooked yet) but somehow I survived and actually a little ahead of where I was in May mostly thanks to ASTS and well-timed desperation puts on SPY and CRWD. Next week definitely hedging with NVDA puts at their next 2 resistance levels in case the rest of the big 4 earnings look like Google’s

NewDayNewBurner

I really like HUMA. Still around $8/share, but I don’t think it’ll ever challenge ASTS in terms of 20-year earning potential. Still a sweet little stock.

0dteCreditSpreads

From my 30 seconds of DD, ASTS reminds me of SPCE in 2019

BEAVACUDA

ASTS blows. Bring GRND back 🚀🌈💰

aguybrowsingreddit

Second place to SpaceX in terms of space launch companies, not second to ASTS

foldyaup

Bro you gotta do a little dd. No one is close to ASTS tech. Sure starlink and gsat and others are working in the same tech but for now they can only send sms texts. Still years behind bandwidth capacity. Starlink is also having trouble with fcc approval since they interfere with other spectrums. Just do a little dd my boy.

foldyaup

Naw do some dd on it and you’ll be convinced. Telecoms are boring and not innovative. ASTS checks so many boxes.

thr0waway6478

Not every stock out there rallies like 20% every day like NVDA did and ASTS does rn, if you have a few hundred to a thousand shares I usually sell covered calls and yeah I’ve definitely lost out on some gains on some trades but I’ve also minimized my losses.

solscry

Exactly. RKLB is a ROCKET company that sends Satellites into space and ASTS is a satellite company. They are not competitors so RKLB is not a “second place” company in that regard.

spellbadgrammargood

i just realized ASTS is up 700%+ the within the past 3 months... the last time i thought of ASTS was when it's ship blew up(?) and the stock tanked.

Expensive-Bus4724

Made 15k on ASTS options today, can't wait to see what next week has in store for me

T-bone021216

Is ASTS still a buy? Or will it dip next week?

SeveralFigure6939

DDs on ASTS were done quite a bit in this sub on its latest, initial run up in May. Most people called it regarded, pump n dump, meme, etc. Go back a few years on its graph and I'm sure you'll see why. It's having a beautiful run, but it really is a stock meant for long term holders, not exactly WSB's favorite material. Guess it just hasn't been talked about as much outside of comments/dailies for those reasons.

pistolpiete

Why does ASTS have huge potential? They can only beam 120Mbps to a 300,000sq mile area

NothingFinal4956

What happened to the DD's in this sub. It is like so rare these days or maybe I am just frequenting so much here. How did I miss ASTS lol.

AlarmingAd2445

Is ASTS a retail fomo pileup or does it actually have potential value? Seems overvalued in the short term but I’m planning on keeping long term so I’ll probably hold

masturbator6942069

Definitely not too late. Consider how many people are kicking themselves for not getting into nvidia when it was $100, $200,……pre split, because they thought it had peaked. I’m invested in ASTS (started buying at about $3) and I’m going to keep buying more. Obviously nobody knows what will happen and it’s entirely possible we all lose everything. But it’s also possible we make millions. Personally, I just have a really good feeling about ASTS. I know that’s not a wise investment strategy, but whatever. Life is short.

Quickoneonit

Where tf is the post About ASTS? i see all these degens posting their gains when tf did we start talking about this???

TestInteresting221

ASTS not what the market can give, ASTS what you will receive. 

OptimistRealist42069

Budget starlink? ASTS is 5G to your unmodified mobile phone from space. Starlink is internet to your starlink dish, which then you connect to via wifi. Totally different technologies power them.

Verzogerung

If you still want to trade options, do 0dte SPY calls on only what you are willing to lose in case things go south. Otherwise, holding VZ and ASTS may add up. I also advise buying into CRWD before earnings and selling immediately after since the whole situation has them undervalued and their last quarter was likely strong. Or don’t listen to me, because I sometimes ramble on things I don’t really understand.

IllIllllIIIIlIlIlIlI

It was thought ASTS’s technology was a pipe dream and it was a pump and dump stock like a lot of space stocks. But they have proven their technology works and inked deals with Verizon and AT&T. I’m up 175% as of today. I think it’s still a strong buy.

Rea-sama

ASTS. Then don't look at it for 5 years.

hedgepog0

As I said, I'm still heavily invested into ASTS. Also, I've seen WAY too many "sell the news" type events, and any number of things could go wrong pre/post launch that drills the price down significantly. And earnings will still be close to 0, even with these few satellites lol. ASTS is purely a multi year speculative play.

SeveralFigure6939

Can only speak for myself, but I feel as strongly about ASTS as DFV feels about game store. I love the stock, think it will easily be a 50b company in 5 years, 100b in 10. But maybe I'm regarded, wouldn't be the first time.

ElectricalGene6146

I think investors are way too excited about ASTS because it’s publicly investible. There are startups like Astranis that from what I can tell are building the same tech?

Power1254

How we feel about ASTS long term?

Less-Ad-2769

You know Google spent billions of dollar with their “Balloon” program trying to do what ASTS is doing and they invested 100mil in ASTS already. Peace out simpleton

Less-Ad-2769

Would you have rather of bought Google 25 years ago when it was losing money like ASTS and needing to raise capital or today when it’s already a mega cap? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Geistvvolf

Well, I’ll definitely be in it for the longer horizon, as I’m currently holding LUNR, RKLB, and RIVN as my high risk stocks. But I’m still wary that the current momentum in ASTS might recede as you mentioned in the short term. If I can snag twice as many shares for the same initial investment, why not?

lysergic_af

so ASTS is gonna break 20 this week or are we dropping hard ? was quite a rally the last couple days

Ok-Flatworm-3397

I sold calls on ASTS can this thing plz chill for 1 sec 

hedgepog0

How does it not? The only competitor (at the moment) is Starlink, and from everything I've read, ASTS's tech should *hypothetically* be better. Obviously, ASTS could fail miserably and be worth nothing, but the keyword is potential.

BallsOfStonk

ASTS is the next ASTS. If they generate any revenue in the next 12 months, it could absolutely hold a $10b+ valuation for years. Fucking look at QS. Zero revenue company, essentially still vaporware, and held $10b+ for years before investors finally started getting frustrated. Also if the rocket blows up, or any of the sats have issues (including scalability, which is not yet fully understood), then it could go to $1 or less. Pretty binary outcome here IMO.

Oh_he_steal

You will almost certainly lose all your money if you hold ASTS.

Geistvvolf

Is it too late to jump onto ASTS? I don’t want to FOMO in, I bought into LUNR on its way up before they landed on the moon but then subsequently lost money (but still holding those shares) after the stock crashed down. I don’t want to buy into ASTS if it’s also going to crash down with “sell the news”, but I also don’t want to miss out if it’s just the beginning!

Cheesin24h

I just got into RKLB a few weeks ago. Put some coin in a few other space stocks too, including ASTS, Redwire and MDA Space. Exciting future ahead!

foldyaup

Yea cause fixed and 99% success rate. Or maybe it’s 96 but whatever it’s high. Not worried. I’m super long on ASTS.

I think op mean "fist to commercialize tech X". ASTS in the first one to try direct 5g satellite to phone. RocketLab is "following" spacex.

If you want the shares, you’d want to exercise any ITM call you have. I’m long ASTS — been DCA-ing shares for three years so it’s never been my intention to swing trade or anything. I will be exercising my leaps, many of which are at low strikes ($2.5, $3, $4). FWIW i have some of those $10C 01/2026 too — if we continue to de-risk and nail every milestone in 2025, I’ll likely exercise those as well.

ASTS. Get in on the ground floor because it will be hard for anyone to catch them once they get to the top. This is probably going to end up becoming a natural monopoly.

Alarmed_Link2666

What’s the price target of ASTS?

Cormano_Wild_219

It’ll be bad for all the regards that loaded up on calls because “the launch is confirmed”. The launch isn’t confirmed and there is still potential for it to fail. The last SpaceX launch fail was rare, sure, but it did fail and those satellites are about to burn up on re entry anytime now. Another Falcon9 RUD can potentially fuck a lot of calls. I’m long on shares and bullish af on ASTS but you gotta be realistic.

Illustrious_King_450

Take some of what you have left and go buy a bottle of the strongest booze you can find and put everything else on ASTS. But save $5... you're going to need that to take the bus to a shelter and buy 2 packs of Ramen.

Blownofftheblock

Where’s the ASTS fucker at, damn sonbitch..

LikeWhite0nRice

Why sell contracts? Just to raise capital to exercise? I have the fundS to exercise mine now, but I already have such a large majority of my account into ASTS that I know it's extremely risky to invest any more at this point.

SeveralFigure6939

How would that be a problem for ASTS? They'll just make more. 

Cormano_Wild_219

A lot of ASTS perma bulls must have forgot what happened to the last Falcon 9 mission. “The rocket sensed an engine issue, she said, and deployed the satellites. But they were put into a much lower orbit than intended, meaning they would likely be dragged out of space by Earth’s gravity very quickly.” Sure would suck if all 5 of those satellites they just finished didn’t make it into orbit.

Not the same type of sats. ASTS sats are far more advanced and difficult design and build. But with experience they'll get better for sure

long_short_alpha

There have been a lot DDs on ASTS in the last year. But it was mostly laughed at from WSB as a pump and dump stock. But its still a very risky play, but if everything works out and they get their satellites up there and working, i am confident we will see 3 digit stock price in a few years.
