RKLB

1990-1999

For a brief moment, I went all-in on RKLB. It was great timing I likely won’t replicate!

RKLB at 80-100

RonOfEarth

RKLB seemed like a no-brainer at $5/share. ASTS looked like an obvious win once someone leaked the Ben Stiller advertisement while it was still only about $2.40/share. As someone with a Materials Science & Engineering degree, HGRAF looked like a good bet at $0.20/share. Wish I'd held on to my HGRAF shares past $2.00, but it looked like some kind of pump+dump with the P/S ratio around 30,000. ASPI looked like a winner when some scammer named FuzzyPanda was trying to short the stock. I looked at the white paper for the company and did some research, and bought while it was low to get a DCA down to about $4.50. ASPI has a ways to go, but I'm up a decent amount on that already.

ScWeEeE

Not touching anything till after this spacex IPO passes. ASTS I bought 500 shares at 69, probably around that again. RKLB might be around $75-$100 range.

Potential-Control329

RKLB at $7, took profits when it hit $90 months ago to pay for a house. It was 75% of my portfolio.

1foxyboi

RKLB. 10k shares @ 4.35 avg. 43k to 1.1m right now. Was 1.5m before the recent pullback

john-know-nothing

RKLB at SPAC. My cost basis has gone up as I DCA (I was poor when it first SPAC’d) but I love that company to death and will hold until I can comfortably retire off it

mcmalloy

RKLB. Around 5$ cost basis and still holding. Proud that I had the foresight back then even though I feel the highest risk is still the feasibility of carbon hulls for a reusable launch vehicle

Psychological_Fly109

Snog marry avoid: ASTS / RKLB / SPCX

Any_Influence_8305

Fuck, condolences. At least you didn't just max out your IRA, toss a few grand in the market and toss exponentially more into a dumb game. I also thought space would do better over quantum. I didn't want to keep putting money in chips, thought space or quantum computing would be the next big thing. So bought into RKLB around $4 and pulled off a 30+ bagger before the market shat itself, but if I bought into RGTI it would've been a 40+ bagger when I checked earlier this week. I still hold the shares along with my initial LUNR, RDW, and ASTS shares. Bought RGTI on Thursday, down over 15% now. But I'm just glad to be back and not playing a fuckin mobile game, don't do it kids just stay in the casino

Reddit gets it sometimes right, sometimes wrong. \-PLTR was a reddit call \-RKLB has always been popular among redditors \-GOOG, ASML, UNH, AMD were clear reddit calls in 2025 I think overall group think here tends to work during bullmarket.

ComedyBits

So does RKLB get a 50% boost next week? I’m not touching this freaky scam

981flacht6

The downside is something like RKLB could go down significantly from here while he has the covered call open.

fallnstars

sort your investments by return and sell the one with the highest %return. dont sell MU as it just had a massive correction and youre most likely down or flat on it and it might make another run up. VOO has had a mild run up and had a mild fall so it might be a good candidate. GOOG/AMZN also depending on how long youve been holding it. MU/RKLB youre probably going to sell at a loss if you do.

D_Pablo67

Sell RKLB as it is the most speculative. Then trim MU if you need more cash.

MrFrogy

I'm in much heavier on LUNR than RKLB, and that tanked last week too. The whole damn sector did. Probably people taking their gains to use for the IPO.

ssferland

Sell RKLB first. Analysts already see downside despite a 68% rally , and space stocks are sinking as the SpaceX IPO trade starts to break . It’s the most volatile name, furthest from a re-entry floor, and you said you may not contribute for a while — RKLB requires active management to trade well. Great stock, wrong time to hold passively. Sell GOOG second. Alphabet is raising $80 billion from stock sales  which creates dilution headwinds, and it’s in a confirmed downtrend off $408. Still a great long-term business, but you’ll likely get a better entry later. Keep MU if at all possible. Earnings drop June 24, with last quarter’s EPS coming in at $12.20 vs. $9.19 expected — a 32% beat . Expectations are high, and a strong beat-and-raise could deliver a post-earnings jump.  You’re holding through a dip right before a potential catalyst. Selling now could mean missing the move. Keep AMZN and SPY. AMZN is pulling back normally from ATH and AWS/AI tailwinds are intact. SPY is your ballast — you always want some broad market exposure. QQQI — if you need income to help offset the bills over time, keep it. But if you need a lump sum now, it’s near its 52-week high and that 52% yield won’t compound well sitting on the sidelines.

Intelligent-Bell7452

well how you been prepping? Personally i bought calls on RKLB for 6/18. I'm down 50% and praying this week is a serious pump into the ipo.

Overall_Option_8883

Long ASTS RKLB let's see what the next couple of weeks brings 

OilBull

I’m a mega space bull (it’s retired me at this point) but spacex is honestly not that expensive considering the (kind of laughable) TAM. The TAM is real, the possibilities are endless, HOWEVER, spacex isn’t going to 20x or 100x. Stocks like RDW, ASTS, RKLB, and all the other space securities will.

ians0606

Short answer, RKLB and ASTS might just go up 50% during the IPO and plunge 50% after a few weeks or months of IPO.

Minute-Leg7346

RKLB

fatmummy222

Actually, yes. Made 30k thanks to that regard who posted about SPCE. Made another 10k in RKLB

bulrfuc

SPCX will suck the very soul out of RKLB, ASTS, LUNR, etc. Once that happens, Elon will absorb all those companies into SPCX. Then TSLA merges into SPCX. Superstonk. I just hope the semis die off and the money from SOXX gets vortex'ed into SPCX.

dragonvex_

Or will they leave RKLB and ASTS for the bigger pie?

dragonvex_

We’re expecting RKLB and ASTS to pump too right? People like me too pussy for SPCX can get calls for those right?

Top_Investment1825

I fucking hate this SpaceX shit. I had a good thing going timing the market with the space sector pump and dumps. But now this SpaceX shit is fucking it all up. I can't tell what's gonna happen. I think it's overvalue, but will pump anyway, at least initially. One thing I'm not sure of is how many people are invested in shit like ASTS, RKLB and others for the sole reason they couldn't easily invest in SpaceX. But now they can. But at the same time, if SpaceX does get pumped, it could bring the rest of the sector up with it...

infinitychaosx

up 12.5% YTD, was 17% before Friday. holding and taking some nibbles at DRAM, RKLB, ENPH, NVDA while they’re down

TomGerity

I wasn’t intending on buying SpaceX shares. I had been curious about RKLB, ASTS, and LUNR, though.

dreamkanteen

Im honestly not sure. For the past 2+ years I've been obsessively checking my portfolio every day. I sold off my RKLB and feel a huge weight off my shoulders. I have since bought VEQT, some blue chip Canadian dividend stocks, and a position in MDA and CTM. I haven't checked my overall balance in a while. Im gonna see if I can go until the end of summer without checking. Its all in my TFSA so I don't have room to DCA anyways.

NeverEnoughCharacter

+53.56% mostly thanks to RKLB. Was much higher than that two weeks ago

PositiveGambler

Smart money will be loading up on the discounted space stocks (ASTS, RKLB, PL) and watching them rip on Friday as they ride SPCX’s coattails

Anonymous_Lurker_1

Thanks for the additional info and viewpoint. Like i said, im sticking with RKLB. Ive got the Nasdaq too, so might just keep my Space X allocation to whatever is within that. I might add some Space X, i dont know, but i certainly wont be rushing into it if i do. I think id sooner look to add some ASTS or RDW first.

RudnitzkyvsHalsmann

RKLB has one of the best visionary sane leaders (Peter Beck) and industrialisation leaders (Frank Klein). RKLB has a reasonable valuation given that it is about to release its mid-capacity fully reusable rocket allowing for better economies of scale abd data center size payloads. RKLB is capable if launching to Mars where Elon moaningly can't (ESCAPADE) and actual hardware on the ground (Motiv). Elon is a MacroHard Moron who is spoonfeeding its IPO to exit liquidity and about to hijack pensioners' future. Elon packed all his shit Elon cannot and bundled it unders a seXy name. Elon cannot keep his mouth shut and will cause swings like he foes to Tesla. Starlink is going to have a hard time competing against Anazon Leo's access to Amazon's unbeatable Amazon customer base access. Elon could fie and the flair evaporate into space, people will see Tesla as just another EV manufacturer and SpaceX as a bag of crap with little content on rockets. And don't forget the math: to double your money this loss-making craps to gain $1.75tn, whereas to go down not so much. One is impossible, the other is likely, a big valuation asymmetry problem. Bottomline: My money goes to RockeLab.

JasonbourneX-X

RKLB will definitely go down with it.

Recent_Stomach7626

In case it hasn't occurred to you or you never even bothered checking, most eVTOL stocks right now are insanely undervalued. They're where RKLB was a few years ago

Anonymous_Lurker_1

Indeed. But psychology will play a part. Space X is the "new shiny thing". Will people associate its success and subsequent profits with the likes of Tesla, or Elon, and view it as the better option? All the tech stocks have taken a battering, and i wonder how much of that is people taking recent profits to buy the IPO next Friday (?). After the hype, i reckon Space X will drop to a similar level as RKLB and then it'll be the opportnity to buy. Personally im sticking with RKLB. I reckon the two, with RKLB's smaller Electron and Neutron and Space X's Falcon Heavy could work in conjuction with each other quite nicely (unless Elons ego gets in the way) and could drive growth for both.

argent_pixel

I mean I got to buy $20,000 more of RKLB at like a 27% discount so I'm celebrating that at least.

hedonheart

Don't forget space. SPCE, LUNR, RKLB, ASTS, GSAT, etc..

bulrfuc

RKLB, ASTS, SATS are probably gonna tank more. Elon needs money.

Milky_Toast19

😂🤣😂 are we really saying that 62k is incomparible? Rookie. I lost $320k on Martha Stewarts bitch ass alone. Throw another $30k on RKLB and it will be fine.

Any_Influence_8305

I just started investing less than 2.5 years ago and RKLB is a 30+ bagger for me so far. It's tempting to try to do that again, but I'm also aware I'm very lucky and have been investing in bigger, safer stocks and ETFs the last several months. I still believe in the stock, but I invest for retirement and SPY/VOO are reliable picks I'll be choosing until then

Sharp-Direction-6894

I am too scared to open my portfolio and see my losses today. All shares, but its NVDA RKLB PLTR OKLO NVTS SPIR and many more. Today has to be a -100k or more day for me. First time ever its this bad for me.

RudnitzkyvsHalsmann

It is stupid to sell from the same industry that is being hyped. I would sell AMD over RKLB.

tcspears

This looks like my iron condor on RKLB this week 😂😂😭😭

teh_herper

Time to load up on DRAM / MRVL / AVGO / RKLB calls at monday market open

atrde

Its common shares * stock price dipshit :) Which if you decided to do you would find out (I know looking things up is hard) that RKLB and SpaceX are trading at similar market cap.

atrde

They have similar market caps. RKLB slightly lower price but 20M more shares outstanding. So the question is why are these two companies similar value and are they both overvalued or is SpaceX undervalued? I would go with SpaceX being undervalued.

tequilamigo

So back to the original point here, what does the price for a share of RKLB vs spacex mean?

RudnitzkyvsHalsmann

I will keep adding RKLB. Already made +850% on it. Thanks.

atrde

I was gonna throw $2K on it Wealthsimple had the IPO shares so why not. SpaceX and RKLB have essentially the same market cap based on the IPO. SpaceX has 30x the revenue and better technology. What do you think doesnt make sense?

atrde

Holy shit dude I know how market cap works. SpaceX is doing 555M shares RKLB has 578M outstanding. They are similar market cap. I didnt think I needed to spell it out for you. If SpaceX did the split it would have the same market cap so no issue because thats how these things work...

atrde

I dont really have a lot to add lol. But realistically if there are future markets for Space: SpaceX has a rocket that has flown without fail since 2018 that can do double the payload capacity if what RKLB is planning to test for the first time later this year assuming no more delays. Starship on the other hand has successfully tested its payload capacity which is 10-15x RKLBs planned prototype. Blue Origin might as well be making airplanes in this conversation. If we believe that NASA is serious about increased deep space exploration and a potential moon base you are looking at billions in yearly revenue if not 10s of billions. The contracts for constant starship launches are insane. Plus you are now looking at Starlink and Starshield arguable becoming the standard for satellite internet. Starshield alone is just guaranteed launch income at this point. Now consider they will need to start extending the constellations to the moon, to mars, towards the sun. The number of starlink satellites going into the universe over the next decade is in the 10s of thousands. If you belive humanity is getting serious about Space, Mars, moon bases etc, SpaceX has essentially a monopoly on the sector. Other companies won't be where SpaceX is for at least a decade. The obvious downside is xAI which I am not a huge believer in the entire sector but hard to escape AI is here to stay.

atrde

I think you are kind of reaching that price has LITERALLY NOTHING to do with a company lol. What exactly do you think stock prices are based on? Even in your example share splits and buy backs do not have a direct effect on price. Look at airline stocks for example. Very little change despite large buy backs. Also a reverse split does not effect total market cap. But looking at equivalent trading price for similar companies is a well accepted way to guage fair value. In this case SpaceX is trading fairly reasonably and in line with competitors. If anything it shows something like RKLB is overvalued.

jason8585

If RKLB dips below 100 and you don't buy then you're nuts. It's going to 200

atrde

Well I would look at it in two ways. 1) a lot of people have confidence in RKLB stock but for some reason not SpaceX. Yet the most comparable company to SpaceX is barely trading lower despite being a decade behind SpaceX. 2) there is clear confidence in the future of the sector. Space stocks have value and a lot of future growth from many analysts. I would say if you believe point 2 SpaceX is a steal at current price.

3pinripper

Wake me up when RKLB hits $39 again 😴

atrde

Its not even 20x though. RKLB is like $17 cheaper at 30x less revenue and way worse technology. There is a clear long play here.

crisco000

Well I thought it was on the 12th….. so I was going to say Space x. I think a lot of traders will try to hit that on Friday (19th) for the initial pop. So maybe that following Monday when they’re added…. I cashed out my gambling portfolio on Wednesday in anticipation of space x going live next Friday which turned out to be a good move….. I was going to wait until after space x has traded for a few days before jumping back in. I was going to go back into space companies though. Especially if RKLB hits $90, ASTS hits low $80’s (theyve got a space x launch this month) SATL looks good if it continues to go down next week… im not going to hop back into AI/Semi’s for a month or so….. TE also looks good

Top_Cranberry_3254

Damn, I bit on the AH dip at the end there. So now it'll probably drop another 2-3%. I have a feeling it could drop until the SPCX IPO, about 4% more. Got some shorts to hedge but got some DRAM, RKLB, NVDA, TSLA, META, AVGO dip, RR, and PL dip.

Dependent-Goose8240

-bighest gamble of the year -misses out on MU, AMD, AXTI, DELL, HPE, RKLB, ASTS, INTC...

Nghtmare-Moon

RKLB on sale boys!!!

ritholtz76

Mine to in last 3-4 days. Had night to retire: chips and RKLB messed up.

Aware-Travel6743

Closed my soxs and sndq at mid day thinking wont further drop and directed capital already at current long positions in rockets and networking and chips. Dip kept dipping and got ass handed. Port down 16%. Monday if it dips again, i will be begging. PL, RKLB, CIEN, HUT, NASA, CBRS, RDW, OKLO all 2x tickers :)

ushikagawa

I bought ASTS and RKLB today am I regarded?

bulrfuc

# ASTS and RKLB havent been punished enough

Milky_Toast19

AVGO or RKLB, easy.

RDDT_100P

i should've cashed out completely out of RKLB at $150 instead of taking partial gains only. thought the hype around SPCX would carry it through IPO day.

Conundrum1911

I hold a fair amount of RKLB, and a bit of MDA. Things are a bloodbath today, but I am still holding given I don't have much dry powder left, but also figure no matter what happens with SPCX, things are going to be swinging wildly up and down for a while. Likely lots of good opportunities to buy in, or sell, if you time it somewhat right. I'm in the long haul though.

Diamondhands4dagainz

Imagine not selling RKLB at 150 lmfao it’s never going up there again

HistoryAndScience

I can’t read so I don’t know what you’re saying but I sold all my RKLB (been buying since it was $3) and I’m mainly all cash with the exception of FBTC

groot95

I’m in the space sector and bitcoin so half my losses are BTC and half are ASTS/RKLB/PL

DirtCreative

From a narrative perspective, absolutely. However, there's a lot of different ways to look at this. You can invest directly in major players like SPCX, RKLB, etc. or you could put some attention on the downstream players/industries as well. Supporting industries: Digital infrastructure & AI, energy & power, robotics, etc.

EnemyPigeon

If you weren't already in space, get in before the IPO. LUNR RKLB ASTS just pick one and enter

bulrfuc

Look into how much exposure NASA will actually have to SPCX. Youre better off buying SPCX directly via IPO. I "feel" money will flow out of RKLB, ASTS and others into SPCX.

Diamond-Key197

In my opinion: Hell no it is definitely not bullish, I think the whole thing has started to crash unfortunately. LUNR and Planet Labs already announced big dillutions, ASTS lost a launch pad thanks to Blue Origin BULLSHIT ASS behaviour and RKLB is sinking with them because why not?? Market is a casino at this point.... At one point, traders and investors simply become too tired of all these promises and dillutions.

ians0606

RKLB and ASTS will go through the roof

Brodiggitty

I've got similar results to you on just RKLB. 500% all time, although it dropped to 400% with the recent pullback. I bought it on the way down when it was 8 bucks in 2022. I know I sold some to gamble on stupid penny stocks. But my portfolio is up 500% on an starting $2,500. Not 200,000.

Kayehnanator

RKLB is already sad sooo

booobReviewer

FLY is a very different business than SpaceX — it's an aircraft leasing company, not a space company. If you want space exposure going into the SpaceX IPO, you'd probably do better with RDW (Redwire) or ASTS (AST SpaceMobile), which are actually in the space infrastructure business. That said, trying to swing trade a company because another company in the same broad sector is going public is usually a losing bet — the SPAC, space SPACs (RKLB, SPCE) showed that. If you like FLY for its own merits (aircraft leasing, aerospace mro), that's a different story.

Brave-Bit-252

The important markers are the lock up periods. I think 90 days post IPO is the most relevant one. The selling pressure from long term investors is going to be the highest right then, but Institutions aren’t going to just dump all at ones. I can See us getting cheaper prices than IPO by by then, but it also depends on the in between. I personally believe very much in the long term space narrative and have a lot of exposure in RKLB. The xAI part doesn’t sit right with me though.

trust_it_bb

Yes because RKLB is a one stop space shop that got oversold. ASTS is so delayed on their own timeline but it’s running on starlink hopium

le_pedal

Wasn't RKLB like $160 a few days ago

Deep_Pattern7103

RKLB / ASTS the only stocks not down big pre market…

Finicky_Cyclone

Why not invest in space adjacent companies like RKLB, ASTS, RDW etc?

YourHomicidalApe

Lol most of the space industry is already equally overvalued as SPCX. Let’s not pretend like RKLB is trading on fundamentals

AnyEntertainer1620

SpaceX includes Grok, X and SpaceX Anthropic is going to ipo around ~1 trillion You are buying a space company an ai company and a social media company for ~2 trillion dollars. RKLB is worth 70 billion and made 550 million in revenue before costs, SpaceX is worth 2 trillion and made 17 billion. SpaceX has better revenue by market cap and it also includes Grok and X.

Level_Method_7871

been watching this space stuff too and the correlations are pretty wild to figure out. From what i've seen RKLB tends to move on its own momentum more than getting dragged around by other space plays but thats just my observation. The pullback right now feels more tied to general market sentiment and profit taking after that crazy run up When SPCX actually drops it could go either way - sometimes established players get a boost from new competition legitimizing the sector but other times money just flows to the shiny new thing. RKLB has actual revenue and launches under their belt though which might help them hold better than some of the more speculative names. The timing is interesting since we're in earnings season too so that adds another layer of volatility honestly the space sector moves so fast that trying to predict these cross effects feels like throwing darts sometimes. might be worth watching how the market reacts in first few days of SPCX trading before making any big moves

Serious-War-3172

SPCX IPO is mostly just fresh oxygen for the whole space ETF narrative, not some magic lever on RKLB’s price. Short term you’ll probably see some front running and “SPCX gonna buy RKLB” cope pumping it, then profit taking and bagholder tears. Long term it only matters if SPCX actually takes a chunky position and keeps adding, otherwise it is just another excuse for algos and gamblers to yo‑yo the price around.

Sharp-Direction-6894

I'm not over leveraged. I just have a few hundred thousand in volatile stocks like NVDA, RKLB, PLTR, OKLO, NVTS, SPIR to name a few. My port either goes up or down like 20k - 30k daily, and its been mostly down the past week due to my holding all taking a shit at once. Gut punch after gut punch...

XQZT_ISF

Buy RKLB, wait at least 6 months, preferably even longer to see how the price of the stock plays out after IPO. Don't be greedy...

Rooksteady

Do you own your house and have low debt?....good time in your life to take a risk...take a shot at one stock you see being the future with 25k....or even 50k if it's only your bonus player....more of my thoughts...the war being over has been priced in 10 times already....I would not lump sum into tech right now...I'm also low 40's and would do exactly this if I had a 50k bonus and all my other bills/family taken care of...either buy 25k TMC @5.90 then wait for 3 months to see which way sp500 heads, any significant dip before November 4.65-5.25 area we are making buys. If you had 6100 shares of TMC @ avg 5.9 on September 29th 2027 you are going to be very happy with yourself....OR try to find the bottom of RKLB within the spacex ipo....25k in @90 and dca back to 65-70 if she goes there maybe if neutron doesnt fly this year...rklb will do what nvda did the last two years begining 2029...rklb is a 10 year hold just dont pay too much right now...all these space stocks could easy lose 20% and chop for a year or two wouldnt be unbelievable...these stocks might not be your flavor my point is if it is really just "bonus money" take a risk just this one time and pick one stock...find out how to get the best price for it and dont be a paper-handed bitch lol jks but really if you say "im not selling for 3 years!" Don't fucking sell for 3 years...good luck, id love an update when you make a choice. Cheers.

Nice_History5856

I'm not balls deep like this guy but I do have a dozen 2028 LEAPS at 10 on this bitch. The reason being is that RDW is a supplier for all space companies. If SPCX launches they need components from RDW, same is true for RKLB. They have a 500 mil backlog and that will grow with all this space crap. And unlike RKLB this company is complementary to SPCX and not competing. Revenue is 8x ASTS, but gross profit is about the same. All said, it's a growing company with a stable business and it is at 1/10 the market cap of ASTS. When institutional investors can't get enough SPCX and need proxies this is a dirt cheap target to get space exposure in ETFs and MFs

engineofwood

I would like to take this time to let you know I consider all of you to be family. Ok, off to the cuck chair for the rest of tonight. Also, RKLB!

Error404IQMissing

Luckily I decided to cut loss on this stock and invest in RKLB, NFLX, and MU.

Throughlifeanddeath

Have you seen RKLB, ASTS or Lunar recently?

rattleandhum

I think that was mostly because Elon was using it as a means to bail out his failing business ventures. I think SpaceX might be the only profitable company in the space sector -- RKLB, ASTS etc aren't nearly as robust. Elon loaded all his other shit onto the ticker to keep them afloat AFAIK

pineapplekiwipen

yeah i forgot you were talking about space in general. i can see RKLB holding up because they're the closest competitor to SPCX but the rest of the inflated asses like ASTS are probably gonna get a huge haircut

Maleficent-Couple-76

Is the SpaceX proxy trade played out? RKLB down from highs, feel like ipo day will got retarded
