ASTS

skipichi

it is spelled ASTS

jrex035

Its because underneath the relatively small movements in the indices, a lot of the speculative retail darling companies are getting absolutely demolished. Over the past month: * RKLB -20% (since Oct 15) * CRCL -24% * ASTS -25% (since Oct 15) * UPST -25% * SMR -28% (since Oct 15) * OKLO -30% (since Oct 14) * IONQ -31% And that's with a lot of them bouncing hard today

ASTS is now on my radar! Locks nice ! According SCWO I will keep hold my shares! I believe in this company

OREG_Keith

My feeling is a lot of funds/professional “Money” will be banking winning stocks to secure Year End Bonuses. This happens in November in Markets that have been on fire. This seems to be occurring. As opposed to AU itself which has tested $4000/oz and remained quite resilient. Personally, I’m adding to my positions today in precious metals miner SBSW and more ASTS and SHOP on these dips. All 3 of these have been huge winners for me already this year and I’ll continue to add and hold long term.

black_cat42

People said the same thing about ASTS putting their satellites into space, and look at them now. If the tech works, and there is a demand for it, then the funding will come.

night_shredder

Any ASTS cultist here telling me when they'll launch the satellite? Was the package lost in transit?

AST... AST Spacemobile? ASTS to 100 tomorrow confirmed

LowTimePilot

Same! I had 170k in RKLB back when it was $12. I *knew* it would moon, told my buddies it would be $200 a share by 2030. Sold it when it dropped down to $15 from $33. I did similar early sells for NVDA and ASTS. I had $20k in SPX puts for Trumps Liberation Day. I sold them early for a loss instead of holding overnight for 100x gains. I don't gamble anymore... I haven't made a trade in months and deleted RH, but it's crazy how many times I narrowly avoided financial freedom. 🥲

Much-Management9823

Boy, I really do regret dumping half my port into ASTS at $80 lmao

Hot-Problem2436

Redwire is a scam company dude... You could have invested with ASTS or RKLB, companies with actual products in the pipeline that would make profit, not niche suppliers.

Minute-Animator-376

People keep saying “730 billion was lost” as if there’s a giant vault somewhere that just got emptied. That’s not how this works. Market cap is a snapshot of collective expectation, repriced in real time. When people pile blindly into an S&P 500 pump driven by a handful of AI darlings, then act shocked when the air comes out, that’s not a cosmic injustice. That’s a feedback mechanism. I’m sitting on multiple positions up 400%+, one at ~4800% and another at ~2300% over 2–3 years. None of them are Nvidia or whatever AI cult stock was trending last quarter. I looked at those and concluded the train left the station long ago. So I went elsewhere: a couple of medical names, some military, some space. Real risk. Real volatility. A 10% correction in that context is noise. On ASTS alone I was down about 43% at one point with an average around 2.05 USD. I didn’t panic, I didn’t sell the bottom, I didn’t write apocalyptic posts about “trillions lost”. I looked for other asymmetric bets I could afford to let go to zero and added Rocket Lab at the same time. That’s what “risk capital” means. You size positions so that you can survive being wrong. The bigger point is structural. People talk as if they can simply pull “billions” out of US equities and park them somewhere safe and rational. Where exactly. In a million random houses. In a mountain of gold that is itself richly valued. In European markets that are too small to absorb that scale without becoming just as overpriced. Or under the mattress, or in banks that are themselves exposed to the same system. The American stock market is not a casino bolted onto the side of reality. It is one of the central organs of the current economic order. If it grinds sideways, corrects, and then makes new highs over time, that’s the system functioning: messy, unfair in places, but intact. If it genuinely implodes in a way that cannot recover, you’re not dealing with a “bad quarter” or a “bubble popping”. You’re dealing with a failure of the underlying civilization. At that point, the nominal value of your index fund is almost irrelevant. If the machine that clears trades, rolls over sovereign debt, finances supply chains, and keeps food in cities stops working, trying to outsmart the collapse with some clever asset mix is a fantasy. If the system holds, the S&P eventually prints new all-time highs. If it doesn’t, your brokerage statement is the least of your concerns. Given how these systems actually behave, I wouldn’t be surprised if we had an alien invasion, markets sold off on headlines, and twelve months later assuming society still functioned the S&P 500 was back at or beyond prior highs. Not because markets are sane and moral, but because the default trajectory of a surviving, inflationary, innovation-driven system is up and to the right, punctuated by brutal resets that punish the last group of people who bought at the top.

met_art

Wow… who would have thought that PLTR is going to be the begging of the end. Someone finally had a reasonable idea to bet against them and call them out. At least they do have profit, future and reasonable support from the US government. Companies like ASTS that live of hopium, feeding investor “good” news and projections are up 217% YTD. That’s wild shit.

OhMamaWembanyana

I was gonna do the same but then decided to buy ASTS. Equally fucked. lol

OREG_Keith

I bought ASTS at $25 PS initially.

hon, wake up. ASTS just went green

MaverickMan42

LULU is cooked if you ask me. ASTS is a great bet tho

OREG_Keith

Added to my positions in SHOP and ASTS on these dips and doubled down on LULU, which has fallen so far this year it can only go up, right? right?! The only thing green today are bank stocks and the fake meat! F it, I’m beyond in!

ASTS still being worth more than $10 when they have launched 0 of their planned 17 satellites by 2025 is laughable. This company is gonna create some generational bagholders.

MCB1317

Has ASTS put a single satellite into space this year? **Actual question.

JohnKeyDonkey

Please let ASTS and these quantum companies to crash again tomorrow. Sick of seeing these shitcos rip. 

ilchymis

Didnt end up getting a csp for NBIS (wanted a buck for 100 or 103), but did RKLB@56, IREN@56, and ASTS@65. Hopefully things are green tomorrow and I can write some calls.

Playa4thee1

Bro, the first mistake you did was buying calls for so many stocks that are not "Hot stocks" Example: NVDA, PLTR, RCAT, ASTS, POET, OPEN, ACHR. These stocks move up and down in prices constanstly. The second was buying them so short. Always buy your options at least 1 to 3 months out or longer. It is better to buy 1 contract for 4 months, then 5 for 1 week or 2.

Efficient-Loquat-309

I agree with the focus on non-profitable stocks like JOBY and ASTS for the short thesis, but I think the reason for their eventual collapse is more structural than just "non-profitable." ​My main concern is the Tesla/Starlink structural analogy. ​The core issue is that neither eVTOL ($JOBY) nor Direct-to-Cell ($ASTS) can compete on cost and scale with the vertically integrated competitor: ​・$ASTS's early carrier advantage is meaningless against Starlink's ultimate cost control (owning the rockets/satellites). ​・$JOBY's FAA certification is a temporary moat, but it cannot counter Tesla's ultimate cost control via 4680 battery cells, Megapack vertiports, and FSD/AI for fleet operations. ​They lack the permanent cost moat held by the competitor who owns the entire infrastructure. This makes them highly vulnerable in a crash. Thoughts on this structural comparison?

chindo4994

I've seen worse. Wait till you see ASTS current $25 B market cap on $1 million revenue for Q3 lmao. 2.49 million percent

Where are all the ASTS people?

JohnKeyDonkey

Cannot wait until ASTS earnings to see what nonsense their management say to pump the stock. Literally missed every timeline they've given and people still think they'll have like 45 satellites operating next year.

Someone is shorting my ASTS!

Sep 30 ASTS: We will ship a satellite in October Nov 3: No news, sub drowning in hopium and downvoting questioners. Single stock subs need to go away.

ASTS being pinned at 74 and not following the small market V is weird

Important_Ad_7496

Ok thats another stock its on my list. Looks likes its down today I'll grab Appreciate the input I'll share some with you VRT and ASTS are also good. Vrt is for cooling and btc mining Asts is satelite direct to phone and has partnerships with att Vodafone etc. Having said that I dont want to buy too many because I think any moment a correction is coming and want to stay liquid Gonna go all in tqqq or soxl

I need ASTS to dump harder. Preferably under $60.

Glad SPY is recovering but my only stocks NBIS, RKLB, ASTS, NVTS and ACHR are bringing my port down 8% today.

Add in ASTS and theres my portfolio...super red today.

Personally do not like trump but I’m not going to lie my 401k did double and then some. Granted nothing from him I just bought ASTS at a good time 😂

ASTS is still the next ASTS. Gonna triple or more over the next year or two. Could even 10x honestly.

There have been many long term investment ideas, and I've been on this sub long enough to know that. ASTS, RKLB, ANF and many other powerful ideas were posted HERE on *WSB*, well before anyone cared about them.

pottypotsworth

This is the next ASTS. Which, half of this sub is still "meme stock". 🚀

ilchymis

What are people actually looking at for next week? Mostly just doing csps, so the boring stuff is fine for me. Maybe snag some CVX before the div date, NBIS, CRWV, OKLO, ASTS (if it dips).

tommytherod

mate, exactly this, i was in ASTS at 2, PLTR 10, Hood 16, Conviction is the ticket, you need to be somewhat delusional towards a stock, CORN holders have it.

Odd_Onion_1591

I've almost double it this year via small but aggressive speculative investment. ASTS, NIbius my best performing investments. Also Turned 10k on IBM leaps into 50k.

CobblerAcademic3535

I am usually 100% against these types of company valuations, but the manageable debt and Microsoft deal made me a believer. Sure, we missed out on huge gains already but I refuse to buy these companies until they land at least large contracts. I missed the boat on ASTS last summer around $4 I noticed them right when they signed the first major satellite deal… rip

pivo_nizozemsko

“Starlink vs Kuiper”? You leave ASTS out of the picture, who is getting more and more MNO and DoD contracts and is (imo) technologically wise, far ahead of these two

Totallynotfakenews

Mostly ASTS and OKLO. A few other winners, but that was the bulk

ASTS taking off

DorianSoundscapes

Sell far OTM weeklies and roll them up and out for a credit if you are going to get assigned. Stocks always correct or slow down eventually and theta always wins. You just can’t a greedy and sell too close to the money. Premiums are a slow drip of income that add up over time they’re not a big win kind of scenario. I’ve been selling weekly CCs on RKLB and ASTS for a couple months and only been assigned once, but then the stock dipped below my exit point the next week so I actually profited over if I had just held shares and not sold calls even if the time of selling there was a missed upside (tax free account so there wasn’t any profits lost to tax). If there are big catalysts and you think it’s going to rip, you can buy calls instead of selling them, but CCs are great for times like right now when IV is high and the stocks are crab walking sideways all week.

This is for my aggressive growth portfolio that I hope to keep for 5-10 years and also good stocks to wheel. RDDT ASTS NBIS CRSP HOOD TSM SMR My 401k is S&P index fund SPLG My main brokerage will move to VGT I mention this to highlight not everything is in these aggressive growth stocks.

Metrostation984

Move out of it then. Go into sectors that are going to profit from good tech news while being mostly unaffected if it pops. For me, in terms of funds and stocks longterm I’m reducing bigger funds that are dominated by tech giants and moving into others like emerging markets, India, China, Brazil and military industrial production. They benefit from growth in tech but are not hurt as much. Also, stuff like rare earth minerals, telecommunications like ASTS, RKLB and so on are going to be relevant no matter what because they are pioneers, with the electrification anything energy related is interesting too. For the foreseeable future I play around with options to still be involved and make gains.

BoredandTypin

If it hurts. It will be too late. And you’re looking at ASTS wrong. Look at some of the big drawdowns and ASTS was green in some instances. It will fair better than many because revenue is around the corner and drops are quickly bought up. The biggest recent drops are due to dilution. But you do you.

PckMan

And I was 100% right. At the same time I was being attacked for getting puts on ASTS, which made money by the way, it was coming down from a pump. Since then I've also gotten calls which also made money. Just this summer in fact. I never said ASTS was a bad company. I was making fun of stock cultism and obsession and the whole wannabe GME narrative in there and I was 100% right. No matter how good or bad a company is it's a bad idea to be emotionally invested into a stock, let alone to the point of delusion. The goal of any investor should be to make money and whether that's on the way up or down shouldn't matter.

AdeptnessPlus6860

I will tell you why I remember you: I started trading at the day ASTS pumped to 30$ and it was there and even above that like 1-2 days. Since I was total noob I just had 1 stock and looked at ASTS subreddit all day. But when we were 38$ people started to say we all will have lambos and stuff, also there was 🚀🚀🚀 emojis. So despite being noob I was like it’s cannot be like that and got out with profit, saved the gains. Later (I don’t remember how much later though) I saw your comments on WSB(I believe) where you was roasting them for being a cult. So since I got out and your argument was exactly correlated with my thoughts I remember you, yes.

AdeptnessPlus6860

Hey I remember your avatar. You was trolling ASTS community back in a day like summer 2024

All in on ASTS currently. I prefer this, since it allows me to focus on one area and industry.

ASTS is a very popular bet here lately

chatrep

I’m not diversified at all… I sort of look at a sector and just pick my fave. For instance, semi’s I went with TSM, space, went with ASTS, etc. But I do like CEG, CCJ as well for energy. I took the riskier option with SMR. I know people like oklo but I can’t get comfortable with it. Debt financing, but too much hype, not approved yet. But tech is superior and smaller. Can certainly be room for both with different use cases. I do have some calls for UUUU which is related. More if a US Uranium + added benefit of rare earth processing.

Every ASTS investor looking at this fanfic and laughing

TardedApeDoc

How many Kuiper satellites has Blue/Amazon launched? Drum roll please.....0. SpaceX and ULA had to launch them. They cant even put their own product in orbit. How successful do you think they will be relying on their competition to launch their product? Or ULA with projected 20-25 launches per year (total....not all Kuiper) by comparison SpaceX had 134 launches in 2024 and is trying to hit 170 in 2025. Kuiper has 153 satellites, Starlink has over 8000. You math ain't mathing. I'd be buying ASTS and waiting for SpaceX to drop an IPO....tbf the Kuiper constellation will probably be completed before SpaceX goes public

BananTarrPhotography

Starlink dish service will be fine. Anyone who needs/wants high speed broadband e.g. hundreds of mbps will need a dish. So Starlink, and eventually Kuiper, will provide that. ASTS and Starlink D2C are different. This type of service fills coverage gaps and provides a level of speed that will likely be good enough for some percentage of people. Especially if you can run your phone as a hotspot via satellite. But D2C is limited in supply. It's a function of capacity (supply) and demand. Supply is dictated by spectrum and by extension spectral efficiency. SpaceX and ASTS are the only two companies that have any real plans to scale D2C to broadband levels.

dnr41418

Just so I understand better...why do you think Starlink will survive if ASTS will be live next year?

BananTarrPhotography

Nothing like ASTS has ever existed. We will have broadband to normal phones everywhere on earth. Kuiper requires a dish. What do you think will happen if people in 3rd world countries find out a cheap smartphone can access the internet through ASTS and they don't need a dish? ASTS and Starlink will co-own the D2D space.

dnr41418

I don't want to argue with you. And just to add to knowledge here - Satellite communications as a sector has existed since the 50s. You can look up Boeing Satellite Dev which ended up buying a lot of the small operator - precisely because it is a tough business. Iridium has been in the public eye since the 90s also...its still public. If ASTS ends up owning this space and you make money I will be happy for you - but you will have been super lucky.

BananTarrPhotography

You should short ASTS with that level of conviction. Full port. Do it. It's clear you have done at most 5 minutes of DD on it. Because you have no clue what you're talking about. This business hasn't existed since the 50s. It has never existed and still doesn't. That is utterly insane to even suggest. What business are you even talking about? Launching satellites? The internet? Wow. BTW, the Saudis just signed a major deal with ASTS, including the biggest prepayment ever. I'm sure they would have changed their mind if only they had read this post on WSB. Lmao

dnr41418

They certainly are…reality is ASTS will not last in this space. This business has existed since the 50s and the economics are pretty much the same - what has democratized is the capability of building and sending these to orbit. Unit economics is unchanged - you are still a low margin HW business which needs an ecosystem to make it work. Needless to say Amazon has that going for it for sure.

Lol I can't wait until ASTS comes out with yet another delay in the next 24hrs. They're almost as bad as Elon and self driving cars.  I wonder what bullshit press release they'll bring out to pump the stock.

sail_away13

ASTS is more accessible to the 3rd world too, 95% of them already have some level of access to internet. Most of the time it will be through a cell phone not wifi not a laptop. Kuiper and Starlink are more focused on business level WIFI in these places not watching youtube or tiktok. My closest experience to this is the Philippines. Not the Poorest country in the world but they aren't that far off. The average person in PH makes about $8(400 Peso)-$15(800 Peso) a day. Starlink is about $40 a month, well outside what the average person can afford. Especially since the underdeveloped areas lacking reliable internet are also the areas that pay under the official minimum wage

"Kuiper brings a new customer online in a village in India or on a farm in Nebraska. Where do you think they're going to shop? Amazon. What cloud service will the local businesses there use? AWS. How will they get their stuff? Prime logistics" You think Amazon's grand plan is to acquire 3rd world rural customers and then dispatch their UPS van 2 hours to deliver anal beads to a farmer in bumfuck nowhere? If that's the huge payoff, kuiper is a terrible investment  Also, I feel like you'd love ASTS then

CheeryGeoDuck55

NBIS, APLD, CRWV, ASTS, GLXY, BITF, PATH, and RKLB are my big ones. I'm very bullish on datacenters, but I still try to keep an eye on every indicator I can, like the earnings of every datacenter company and the security/longevity of the deals being made
