ASTS

Chokeslam2Hell

Do we expect some recovery on ASTS next week?

RemyVonLion

Lol that's funny I also started making money at first with ASTS calls at the beginning of 2024

NewtEmbarrassed8722

Not what I'm saying... I'm saying, if the infrastructure is predominantly already there and serves say 90% of the population, ASTS will only really benefit those in the sticks or the military. It's not sane to say they'll be replacing all carrier infrastructure, because that's already there... If you have the answer, then let me know, rather than just saying you're sure someone else does

manufacture_reborn

Assuming 10m subscribers out of both VZ and T, $15*20,000,000/2=$150,000,000 per month. $1.8bn per year combined from VZ and T would be ASTS’s expected revenue for USA commercial service.

manufacture_reborn

I don’t have or know those numbers. However, the counter argument is that the T-Mobile Starlink partnership plan for $10/mo gives you like texting and limited web surfing. ASTS tech allows for voice, video calls and full service streaming. People could watch Netflix on their phone in the Grand Canyon or on the Pacific Ocean. I guess, the point I’m trying to make is that the service level is not comparable and would be like comparing a cart to a car.

dankbuddha0420

For some reason i thought ASTS calls over the weekend was the move after a 15% drop friday. We'll see.

AdeptnessLive4966

This. I picked up RKLB and PLTR years ago. Started buying PLTR around $3 and sold at $110. I sold both last year, I made over $60K on PLTR - maybe not the best move for RKLB, but invested in NBIS which I am up 400% and invested in ASTS. Keep in mind, these are 4 trades I did in over 5 years or so. It takes time to find those companies. You might get lucky if you find one per year or every 2 years. Patience + research + stop looking at your accounts every day. I am also in it for medium to long term.

Nice-Dingo9138

  fair point, they're not related. the SNOW dump was just the most interesting insider move today and ASTS was the top WSB pick was trying to contrast the two signals but you're right it's not a clean comparison - muddy in my brain

Portsmo

Struggling to understand your point here. In which way are $ASTS and $SNOW related? Why does it matter that people are bullish on $ASTS but you are bearish on $SNOW?

manufacture_reborn

Ok, since apparently no one is trying to actually explain any of this - I guess I’ll try too. However, I already know OP is not convincible and merely wants to dunk. ASTS has MNO partnerships across the planet right now with enough service providers to functionally cover 3bn people. Of those ~500bn are in high income countries, 1.5 bn are in middle income countries, and 1 bn are in low income countries. If we presume that 10% of customers across that spectrum choose to add ASTS service to their coverage plan, then that’s 50m high income country plans, 150m middle income plans, 100m low income plans. Let’s further state that high income plans is a $15/mo add on. Middle income is $8/mo. Low income is $4/mo. ASTS gets 50% of those numbers and the MNO gets the other half. That’s $375,000,000 per month from customers in high income countries. $600,000,000 per month from middle income countries. And $200,000,000 per month from low income countries. That gives a commercial revenue of $1,175,000,000 per month or $14,100,000,000 annualized. Additionally, we don’t know exactly but the alternative use cases should run somewhere in the $3-5bn per year (defense, FirstNet, internet of things). Let’s call it $3bn. So, $17,100,000,000 per year in revenue. ASTS thinks they’ll be able to push 90% down to profit, I think that’s generous. So let’s call it 70%. ~$12bn per year in profit. $300bn valuation at 25x PE. I look forward to you not giving a shit I described any portion of this and dunking on me in some purposefully obtuse way.

theRealLongJon

If you’re in for a quick swing, you might have some time left. If you’re in for longs, I’d probably wait to buy until after the IPO hype dies down. If you’re in for just a couple months I wouldn’t buy now. Own ASTS, RKLB, RDW, NASA all but the ETF for 2+ years, holding most long term though may exit NASA before IPO crash and may derisk both RKLB and RDW by pulling out original investment + some profit. ASTS is basically a forever hold for me.

HMonster224

Sure, I totally agree with you. I mentioned ASTS simply because it was the most recent example. I've had the profit taking thing go both ways, but in the long run I do believe that it is the right thing to do.

TonyStarks81

Honestly, if you want to be bearish go for it. There are plenty of investments that don’t make sense to me or that I don’t think will materialize. The odd part is you think there is literally no path for ASTS to be worth even their current value. Those of us who are long on the stock fully believe that the future of telecommunications will be space based. If that comes true, you can’t even began to realize how much revenue is possible for the companies go are their first and own the market. Land based towers have the upfront expense to get into the ground and operational, followed by the expense of routine maintenance. The major telecom companies would love to turn this over for large portions of the world and pay someone else to deal with it. This is just one avenue ASTS could make absurd revenue from. Then you have the countless military possibilities based on being able to provide a stable connection to communications and weapon systems around the entire world. To act as if there is no possible runway for increased valuations from here is absurd. You may think it will never happen which I won’t argue because it may not, but if you don’t see any possible future where this works then you have your head in the sand. Starlink finished 2025 with 11 billion in revenue and 4 billion in profit. Their service is 100% dogshit. This industry has a need, is extremely difficult to enter which means those who get their first won’t have much competition, and is a profit machine when it gets going. Feel free to short it, but until you post real positions against the stock you are just some poor with no vision.

rvanasty

I have made good money twice this year on ASTS calls. One being 0DTE yesterday. Pulled down 63% in 45 mins.

Sad-Flow3941

I agree with the overvalued part, but saying the company isn't well managed is dumb af. Just look where spacex were 10 years ago, and where they are now. And I say this as an ASTS investor who hates Musk.

teddpole

Believe it or not, this sub! One thing I have also noted, when almost all your posts from here start making to r/All, exit! Happened first with ASTS. When it suddenly moved past 40, people started shorting it big time. Second time was with rare earth metals. And lastly with XAU and Silver

Tangerine_Jazzlike

Regardless of the SpaceX IPO a lot of these space names are stretched. RKLB is trading at a higher P/S multiple than SpaceX is targeting, despite being a much smaller, niche provider. ASTS just had a major setback losing its main launch provider. Both are good companies but I think overvalued here.

Temporary-Guidance20

I sold it and lost 20k$ put what remained into ASTS and rocket lab. No regrets just regards. I’m massively up. Was long in NVO for 2 years.

Pale-Silver-8178

Next week hype SPCE (you know), ASTS (potential recovery), PLTR (160+), NOW (vibes), CRSR (why not), MU (as stated in prophecy)

teddpole

After ASTS run ended, 0dte was the rage. I couldn’t wrap my head around it. I got 2 books and studied them to a fair bit of understanding. To this day, I see absolute no use case for them except may be hedge against gains. People who sell options for a living are really brave

feefeebuddu

I was told that the key is to spot what’ll recover after tanking. For me, Rolls Royce and anything major airline- related post-COVID. I made 1000% on Rolls Royce, because it was always going to recover. I’ve hedged a bet on a similar situation with a UK “orange” airline. With all the war chat, the fuel issues etc, their current price is lower than the one post-COVID, so the only way is up (hopefully!). I’m not rich by the way, and I’m certainly not a financial or investment advisor. I read a lot and I’ve made a few very good (but very brave) investments. There are so many US stocks that have been fluctuating wildly for months though (ASTS, TE and others) so anyone in that loop is DEFINITELY getting rich!

Deadweight047

I'm not familiar with ASTS. Just want to ride AI wave. Think NOK will get a push before open

Elo_King

As long as you don’t hold losers too long. No strategy is perfect. I also got out of ASTS. Going for long term plays now, less volatile but safer in the long run. I also day trade and that’s enough to make good money to invest into stocks.

Putetrader

Fair. What tipped you off early though? Was it SpaceX IPO news, sector-wide volume, options flow, RKLB/ASTS ripping first, or just space vibes before the rest of us showed up late? Not asking for a full DD, just curious what the first signal was.

OprahAtOprahDotCom

Also , on a separate note , 50-80% if RDDT is fake accounts , from malicious Russian and Chinese bot farms . These bot farms exist to spread misinformation and control the actual flow of information in peoples feeds , related to topics especially like politics , news , and sentiment . The bots are matured to have years of account age and age and 1000’s of karma and sold on the black market : Reddit has lost so much control over their own platform, more than they publicly admit  I ran an A/B test and results were shocking . Bots can completely control information on Reddit . They can silence users and bury posts . This is a huge threat to democracy.  Reddit seems willing to acknowledge this which undermines my confidence in their financial statements. I encourage everyone to demand transparency, especially RDDt shareholders..  Junk : ASTS, RDDT , SpaceX , Russia , China  Buy : NET , CRWD, PANW 

Direct-Bar-7392

Do you think ASTS is like APPL?

rollerplank

Personally haven't traded it but have been watching it go up and down. Nobody can predict the market, so who knows where it will end up but, to me personally, I think SpaceX IPO pushing the whole category will end up in huge drop. Whilst RKLB, ASTS et al are somewhat, their revenue remains an issue. And with SpaceX, all their pricing power will diminish. For ASTS at least, "pre-revenue" is a bad place to be. Just my two cents

NotGoodSoftwareMaker

Ahhh you thought I didnt have any, its there, just search my comments on the ASTS sub 🤷‍♂️ If you cant even type a couple words together on Reddit im beginning to see why you failed at the real PhD

justbrowsinginpeace

I worry a lot of people are going to lose money on ASTS and it will tarnish the entire sector.

OprahAtOprahDotCom

Guessing with no data ?  Is that the same as your ASTS bull case? 

Karakunjol

The thing is, I sold my ASTS profits at the top for this. Not much but honest work 🥰

steady_compounder

I would be careful turning this into a trade around a headline event. A SpaceX IPO could definitely pull attention and some money toward the space theme for a while, but that does not automatically mean ASTS has to dip in a clean, tradable way. Selling now to rebuy lower is really two bets, that the IPO changes sentiment and that you time the reaction better than the market.

SatinQuill5

I was thinking that the SpaceX ipo could cause a big temporary dip in ASTS with investors pumping and hyping up SpaceX and possibly selling ASTS. It was just a thought, and I’m curious about what will happen in general

RevolutionarySir8488

Still gonna buy more ASTS but this definitely makes their already missed target by EOY even more missed right? maybe will get 8 up this year :/ Im not getting into that LUNR shit man or any other of these random space stocks so dont even @ me

DiamondMan07

Because TSLA is owned by the richest guy in the world who by the way is a competitor to ASTS and is better. He’s also much more influential and buys more leverage than whoever runs ASTS

OprahAtOprahDotCom

If the market is valuing ASTS at $40 Billion to $50 Billion today, it is effectively pricing in that $3 Billion US carrier revenue run-rate right now. But building, launching, and operationalizing a full global satellite constellation takes years.  If it takes until 2030 or 2032 to actually achieve that $2.25 Billion net profit milestone, investors buying today are paying a matured 2030 valuation in 2026.  You are taking on years of execution, regulatory, and launch risks while receiving absolutely zero discount for the time value of money.

one-won-juan

who said that? ultimately it’s up to the MNOs to do local pricing, ASTS just takes 50/50 split for remote countries, like let’s say Brazil with huge swathes of jungle, where ~30M have near 0 coverage and another ~20M have absolutely terrible coverage something like daily whatsapp voice / internet would be super enticing to MNOs / users / and the govs It’s why their version of the FCC (Anatel) is super bullish and is forcing other sat operators to give their ASTS spectrum

rawbdor

But if ASTS sold tons of calls against their own stock, and made 5000% more money, the stock would go up, which would put those calls in the money, which would mean they lost money on the selling the calls, and they also need to print more shares, and then the stock would go down?

one-won-juan

depends, it’s gonna be baked into to premium plans so whatever VZ/ATT decide is the 50/50 split. RN starlink d2c is $10 ?? I think so however many premium subs x $5 = ASTS share and then of course frontline will have higher single user pen at $5 or $10 to asts because of spectrum priority, wildfires, flooding, emergencies etc the actual bull case is when it’s legally mandated to be 100% sat covered Australia UOMO is already there, US is heading there now but not yet - Mystic alerts act is the starter

OprahAtOprahDotCom

Haha , it’s like yhe epitome of meme stock , but investors act like it’s a growth stock … I’m totally open to change my mind .  But no one who’s an ASTS long seems to know how to value stocks 

ercpck

Why? There is only one rocket company right now that is successfully landing their first stage boosters. All the other rockets are expensive and disposable. As I'm typing this, SPCX has 4 boosters that have gone to space more than 30 times (and another 6 or so boosters that have been reused more than 20 times). We are talking about Falcon 9 only, without any regard to Starship (which may start flying payloads soon while remaining disposable... while they iron out the details on reusability). If they start flying next generation Starlink on Starship, does ASTS make sense as a play anymore? They don't control their boosters and depend on SpaceX (or others) to fly their payloads to space. The second company that is remotely in line to having a reusable rocket is Blue Origin, and you saw the explosion yesterday. The third company is Rocket Lab, which in my opinion is the true underdog. Without reusable rockets, given the scale necessary for satellite constellations for internet, Starlink will remain the only game in town for a while. Should you look at the Ukraine news lately of Russia starting to lose territory, one of the pivotal issues is that Russia does not have Starlink access. Does this justify the crazy valuation? Not sure. And I'm not liking the whole AI-merger-play think of bringing Grok / xAI into SpaceX as I feel it dilutes the company's mission, but, when it comes to space, SpaceX is second to none by far, easily 20 years ahead of the rest, and provide a service that is essential for national security (Starlink), specially in this new world of drone warfare. I personally don't like Elon, but believe that the work of Shotwell and others at SpaceX has been nothing short of remarkable. Yes I will buy (some) shares at the IPO.

add_sequence_OYSTER

ASTS FUD making the rounds on wall street bets? Bullish

OG_L0c

I had a crazy green month. I diversified my portfolio by selling a bunch of puts of "safe" companies, and used that credit to fund my degenerate ASTS bet

Justthetip74

They not only have the issue of new glenn blowing up. Bezos fucked them real hard. New Glen isn't going to launch for 12-18 months. ASTS doesn't have contracts for enough falcon 9 launches and Amazon is going to buy ALL the available spacex launches at any price in order to not lose FCC licensing agreements for Kuiper. All the while SpaceX is racing to provide 150-500mbs DTC coverage as a side project with sats going up regardless of what either of those guys do. ASTS is either gonna have to outbid Amazon for launches or buy out starlink designated launches or their sats are sitting on the ground

I-N00b-hi

Is ASTS gonna pop, leading up to SpaceX ipo ?

Uzunzatu

What's hurting ASTS is none of the things mentioned here. It's executing on getting the sats up to provide service and collecting revenue. They had issues with slow manufacturing, which they solved, now unfortunately since yesterday they have the issue of New Glenn blowing up so having to organise new launches. When they get it all working, though, ASTS is going to be a money volcano.

Individual_Humor_980

Also my ASTS calls were up 450% but shit had to blow up a day before expiration smh!

thetaFAANG

Alright alright ASTS hasn’t delivered and people should loss faith a bit especially for opportunity cost, but when ASTS does deliver they are a much purer revenue play than all of their B2B customers VZ maintains a fiber network, a tower network, and does customer outreach and a retention system ASTS will charge them for all of their traffic without doing any of that. Just a few billion on satellites and launches and thats it. Its done. The end.

Acrobatic-Tackle8336

Respect for actually having a plan and sticking to it instead of just diamond handing into oblivion. Rotating into ASTS at 67 is a spicy move though, that’s some conviction 😂

OprahAtOprahDotCom

SpaceX will for sure destroy shareholder wealth . Just like anyone who buys ASTS over $24 per share and holds

_Tychonic_

ASTS will for sure be the biggest victim of the liquidity shift and general hype correction post-SPCX.

CubeBrute

Notice they don't say "Browse the internet." on the T-Mobile site. The select apps you can use are messaging, map and weather apps. Max proven throughput is 98Mbps for ASTS and 4 Mbps for Starlink direct to device.

OprahAtOprahDotCom

Also will add , I’m bearish ASTS because in order for their market cap to make sense , they’d need to get revenue equal to the aggregate net income of all their b2b customers lol  Like VZ and everyone would have to slash their dividend to $0

_Apostate_

ASTS will be able to accomplish with 100 satellites more than SpaceX can accomplish with 2000. That’s the superiority of their tech.

trackdaybruh

One thing I like about ASTS versus Starlink is ASTS acts like a wholesaler, which is why other service providers like Verizon, AT&T, Vodafone, and etc. partnered and invested with ASTS because they can use their own radio frequencies. More service providers will partner with ASTS to over connection all over the world Starlink used to only need to partner with only one service provider per each country (Ex: T-Mobile for U.S., Rogers for Canada, and etc.) in order to use their radio frequencies to provide a direct-to-cell service, but they recently acquired a radio frequency which basically positioned Starlink where they won't basically need to rely on T-Mobile, Rogers, and etc. anymore.

Called it earlier a few weeks ago. Now everyone's all over this. Next week, I could see some profit taking happening, and maybe even a couple of -10% or -20% days. Everyone thinks this will gap up and just keep running next week with no dips, but nothing ever goes the way that most people expect it. I think we really begin running on June 4, the day the SpaceX roadshow begins. Why? When SpaceX gets all the media attention on CNBC, social media, etc. the entire space sector gets attention. People will want to FOMO, so what else can they buy? Well, $ASTS and $RKLB will rally (and sure, they already have, but it's not over yet), and so will $SPCE with its narrative. If you want re-assurance, try to imagine the opposite scenario. Imagine that during the week of SpaceX IPO, with all the media attention surrounding the biggest IPO in history and the space sector getting attention... try to imagine ASTS/RKLB/LUNR/PL and $SPCE just tanking and bleeding every single day until June 12. Yeah, you can't, because there are too many historical precedences of other IPOs (like OP mentioned with EVs and crypto) causing the rallies of sector-adjacent stocks. In addition, if people know that the biggest IPO in history is overvalued, they'll want to buy other space stocks that are considered more "reasonably" valued in comparison, and ASTS/RKLB and any other space stock, despite having run up so much recently, will certainly be seen as better value. However, be careful. As much as it pays to be ahead of the curve when buying, that rings doubly true for selling. Buying early means nothing if you don't sell when you're in the green. Everyone thinks they'll dump on the IPO day or even the day before, so you'll want to get out before them. Don't be that guy bagholding to the top and back like many GME holders did. I wouldn't be surprised if this tops at $10 or $12, conservatively speaking.

Spok3nTruth

Loaded up on ASTS calls at close. Very excited SPCE calls went over 1900% . Just unbelievable how much I made this week. Sold half and holding for next week pump Have a great weekend y'all

trackdaybruh

Actually they didn't blow it up, but they couldn't get ASTS to the proper orbit because one of the boosters failed to go off. ASTS had to deorbit the satellite and it burned up when it reentered the atmosphere

Hawxe

Starlink can't do D2D 5G. ASTS can. It's really that simple.

Mommy_Yummy

The market is absolutely insane. Traditionally companies worth no more than $500 million under the most optimistic estimates are getting $50 billion under the most pessimistic estimates. ASTS is a do-nothing have-nothing junk of space junk company worth at max $100 million. But trading against this market is su*cide.

Blue origin blew up ASTS’ last satellite, actually. Though that wasn’t great for business either. https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/ast-spacemobile-shares-sink-blue-180254588.html

Apost8Joe

You’ve found your truth - Good luck with that. Relative to what’s going on rn in the entire tech and finance industry, ASTS exhibits a level of accountability and actual tangible proof of product that contrasts abruptly with “extending the light of consciousness to the stars" or wudeverdafuk Musk even means. Scared money don’t make no money.

alex88-

You should probably do more research or start dumping your shares at this price. MNO partnerships are a good strategy? More like that’s ASTS’s only strategy, and it’s not looking great right now. Missed launch dates, questionable scalability. They have nothing without MNOs and are basically their little bitch when it comes to pricing. SpaceX and Amazon will eat up whatever tiny market share ASTS has or acquire them within the next 5 years. Idk why everyone thinks ASTS is the first D2D, SpaceX already has partnerships with the largest mobile carriers in US, Canada, and Australia. You can literally use Starlink from your phone in the middle of the desert if you have T-Mobile right at this time.

saazbaru

They pay less than a third per launch of what ASTS does so that seems like a really big advantage. Also they got 10407 of those things up there. Not sure how many are direct to cell but even assuming you are right, I think they have the numbers…

wampum

to be clear, I think space X has an irrationally bloated IPO price and is a stinker, despite recognizing that ASTS price to sales is 6x more expensive than space x. The reason I’m more tolerant of ASTS is because it is so early in its commercial viability. I’m betting on its ability to grow the network, and directly compete with the bloat of Space X

The_Greyscale

Thats actually really easy. Because starlink can’t currently do it, the MNOs dont trust them, and Europe is actively seeking to cut their dependence on Starlink. Their solution to begin matching ASTS’ current tech level is dependent on getting starlink V3 fully operational, which is dependent on getting Starship operational, and then either poaching MNOs that ASTS has already signed agreements with, or getting approval and spectrum to operate as a standalone provider internationally. 

stumblios

ASTS was the first company to figure out high speed D2D for regular smart phones, something that was said to be impossible for quite a long time, then they protected that with hundreds of patents. Now for anyone else to do D2D, they have to figure out a second way to do it. So far, the alternate ideas are much worse so Starlink needs ~40 satellites to compete with the power of one blue bird. And they have to orbit at a lower altitude so they have a shorter lifespan. The Starlink advantage is launching their own satellites with SpaceX, which is a strong advantage, but the satellites they're launching are objectively worse.

trackdaybruh

ASTS is basically like a wholesaler, which is why other service providers like Verizon, AT&T, Vodafone, and etc. partnered with them since they can use their own frequencies. ASTS just provides them the satellite

Fun-Choices

The entire market ignorance on this one rocket explosion tells me everything is gonna go sky high. The next 17 ASTS satellites, are going up on falcon 9’s. The rocket was doing a test, it didn’t even have a payload on it. It blew up its own specialized launchpad, which sucks for blue origin. But ultimately it makes NASA’s Artemis mission get put on hold and makes NASA fully reliant on SpaceX. As the dust settles, SpaceX is gonna come out of this a major winner and people are going to buy this dip, in all space stocks. ( except SPCE you retards)

waveguy9

I don't believe that is accurate. Might want to wait until after the mid-June Falcon 9 launch 🚀 or research the myriad of other hand Rocket companies bit more. I pondered shorting ASST but after receiving some valuable intel, Im considering Calls. I possibly know someone on the inside that I may have shared DNA with (allegedly of course) explain to me last night the current situation going forward. ASTS SpaceMobile is preparing it's mid-June SpaceX Falcon 9 launch, with BlueBirds payload satellites 8, 9, and 10. The status of the satellites is as follows: BlueBirds 8 and 10 have officially arrived at Cape Canaveral, FL. BlueBird 9 has been dispatched from the Texas production facility and is en route to Florida to join the 8 & 9 for payload processing. Launch provider: SpaceX Falcon 9 Timeline: Scheduled mid-June at Cape Canaveral, FL *(Following the standard 3-to-4 week integration window with SpaceX)

sn0ringFoxy

Swing trading it would be a smarter play, but at their current valuation it’s a pretty pricey (and risky) swing play if attempting this with options or regular shares. It’s valued as high as it is despite still being in pre-revenue phase because the technology is real and differentiates vastly when compared to Starlink and the other small handful of competitors: no special tech or ground terminals needed, and it would work directly with modern phones. If the tech wasn’t real and close to fruition they wouldn’t already have contracts with most major telecommunication companies in the US and abroad including both historical competitors Verizon and AT&T if I recall correctly. As far as the small number of satellites goes: their model doesn’t require thousands or even hundred of satellites like Starlink because among other things their satellites are several times larger and work a lot differently. I think ASTS’ aim was for ~100 or less for full global coverage.

Apost8Joe

I actually agree with you re the general market bubble and weakening economy/inflation/oil shock, have been warning people not to buy stupid shit. I've been at this for decades, was in the industry during the 2000s tech collapse, saw the daily margin calls and fear first hand. It's coming. But ASTS is uniquely positioned, MNO partnerships are vastly superior strategy, and why I'm so deep into it. People won't stop using their cell phones and ASTS will own the D2D space.

anonymousbopper767

ASTS is literally preorders for Starlink and doesn’t have a product.

anonymousbopper767

I have a theory that most people are stupid and most people here seem to think ASTS is a viable company. Make the Venn diagram.

Apost8Joe

I can afford an endless supply of socks bro, I def intend to shove more into ASTS. Tank that baby on Monday for me so I can back the truck up again.

wampum

ASTS is like the nascent version of the only part of Space X that doesn’t hemorrhage money. Space X launch services and AI are money pits. the Starlink has profit from their operations that is dumped back into asteroid mining and “expanding consciousness to the stars.” At least ASTS is just trying to provide space based internet without all the bullshit, corporate governance risk, and money incineration.

ch33ky_n1nj4

Space investors like to glaze their own stocks even though the fundamentals are stretched just as bad as SpaceX. If SPCE can pump, so can a turd like ASTS

Slowmac123

I bought ASTS, and I don't even know the company's name

-LabApprehensive-

Find high conviction stocks and never sell. I put 16k into RKLB and ASTS when both were under $5. I called it SPACx. It took 4 years to start paying off could have given up and chased other stuff but since I believe in these two companies I did not. Both are well over 20x

SlartibartfastMcGee

Their main weakness is their inability to deliver their satellites to orbit without relying on a low cost launch solution. I feel like a short ASTS long RKLB position would be safer. Work the spread.

weHaveThoughts

Short interest is at 19% for $ASTS now this is approaching squeeze territory is everyone can push it up just a bit more.

Apost8Joe

BO's entire launchpad just got smoked and did you notice the price action today? This pushes out their 45 sat goal (never mind it was 60 sats before talking it down in recent earnings call - everyone knew 60 was BS ) at least 6 months and all we got was a 15% pullback today! Um ok. But ASTS just went from 63 as BO lost one sat and Rakuten sold shares because they need cash - they remain one of largest shareholders - to 133 in 2 weeks. Mountains of good news in recent weeks. Holders of this company aren't the typical paper hands hoping their cult leader can suspend disbelief long enough to devise another grift. Short at your own peril my fren.

I liquidated ASTS earlier this week and people in the space subs thought I was an idiot. I got into those stocks because I had knowledge about them from my professional background. The way they move based on pure hype has taught me to TAKE PROFITS when they are running ahead of themselves. Even if I don't catch the very top, gains are gains and managing risk is important for long-term success.

We been hearing that since Covid haven't we. Even if that recession finally appears, ASTS is one company that's actually executing with a very obvious hardware and MNO partnership model that's going to win the D2D space.

Dude, I didn't ignore you and all opinions are valued and welcomed, I didn't buy July calls as I feel there might be some price movement in the coming months. I brought about $200 $6.00 0DTE calls when I saw it went up at $5.00, and I sold at 1:53 pm mountain time and I think I got like $400 profit. I still have my $600 USD June 18 calls and it now worth about $1,820. My biggest position is MDA, and I brought MDA yesterday at the top, and I lost close to $5k on MDA today, I hope it recovers next week, I now want to buy some ASTS calls next Monday.

Yeah and ASTS had 14.74 mil last quarter at 44B valuation after todays drop so it should be worth more actually

Yeah, probably would have sold out today for at least 1000% based on the highs around 2 - 2.4 for that call. Would have been some nice play money but ASTS has given me five figures up even with the recent downturn, so space is at least treating me nice.

ASTS hands down!!!

My cash account is up 30.84% in the last month, but that is mostly ASTS, DRAM, HUT,  RKLB and SLS LEAPS. I've actually been derisking and selling my leaps and buying VEQT with the proceeds since the value could easily evaporate.

Am I regarded if I go heavy in SPCE ASTS SIDU on Monday for June 18 calls

I'm not convinced ASTC run up wasn't an ASTS typo

I own RKLB and ASTS and have for years. I’ve made my coin. You can appreciate the space race but still admit the fact that this is the most ridiculous IPO in history by miles and is propped up by literal corruption and cult like meat riding. There is not a single argument to be make to defend this IPO that has anything to do with real financials. It’s asinine. Even if you “believe in the Elon hype train”, a 5th grader can see that a $1.75T IPO is not going to “moon” like other stocks we’ve seen on Reddit. It’s valued more than Meta for gods sake.
