Yeah man, you’ve probably got a good grip on things if you have been doing this for 2.5 years in all honesty. There’s people with a lot less know how doing some mad things in the stock market lol. Honestly, you’ll be fine. Put some money in and just let it sit for a few years. Add a bit each pay check that you’re comfortable with and simply put, stay away from options and wallstreetbets for the first few years. If you wanna get into that stuff, then do so when you have a good base underneath you. Looking at what you invested in so far, you could do those individual stocks or you could do an ETF that maybe tracks S&P500 as that’s where you’re weighted anyhow. Alternatively which is what I do is have target date funds with work pensions and some all equity high risk stuff and then I have another account with my fun risk stock picking which is gamble money. I think a lot of people do it that way as it gives the stability and long term conservatism with the fun adrenaline of volatile picks. As long as it’s not money you can’t afford to lose, it’s all good Best of luck with the start. Hopefully everything continues as we have been for another 12 months haha

$16K is nothing, and if you keep trading you’ll certainly lose it or so no batter than the stock market. Buy a S&P500 etf, and maybe 1-3 dividend stocks and just forget about it for 2 decades.

SirGasleak

Over the last 70 years there have been exactly 3 bear markets that have lasted longer than 18 months peak-trough. The longest one was the dot-com crash, which lasted 31 months. The S&P lost 56% of its value during that bear market. But guess what? In the 20-year bull market prior to that, it appreciated 600%. Obviously this is oversimplifying things a bit, but the point I'm trying to make is that if your investing strategy is to avoid all "expensive" stocks because you're worried about a once-in-a-lifetime bear market, you're missing out on major returns.

Hello, I'm also Italian. Maybe I can give some suggestions: 1. Maybe you know this already, but /r/ItaliaPersonalFinance exists and has a pretty good wiki (with some of the most common suggestions about common brokers and ETFs). Keep in mind that some brokers will also act as "sostituto d'imposta" and pay your investment-related taxes for you, while for others you'll have to do everything yourself. 2. There are SP500 and Nasdaq ETFs available in the European market. The biggest ones are iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF (Acc) and iShares Nasdaq 100 UCITS ETF (Acc), but they are far from the only ones. Personally, I'd probably rather go for a more broad-market, internationally diversified index fund for the bulk of my investment, but it's a matter of personal choice. 3. You probably already thought of it, but you *are* keeping a good emergency fund, right?

_Lemon_Pledge_

Some of these comments aren't very constructive. Yes, a 1.5% gain over the past year isn't great when comparing to market average return and global inflation. But, take it as a learning experience - you have paid for a lesson in investing! \~90% of day traders end up losing money. It is difficult to time markets correctly, and individual stock picking leaves you much more exposed. Yes, that extra exposure may also leave you with greater potential upside...it's up to how great of a risk tolerance you have. If you are young, you have time to make mistakes, learn, and take greater risks. If you are saving for retirement, or looking to build equity towards a future mortgage/ child's college education, you are better off holding long-term in stock index funds. They diversify your risk while providing strong returns. This gives you peace of mind; just contribute and do not touch for years. Buy when the markets are high, and when the markets tank, still buy. Another advantage to *index funds* rather than mutual funds are low expense costs. Mutual funds are actively managed and, thus, have higher expense ratios involved - example: 0.01% vs. 0.10%. If you keep the majority of your investments in index funds, you can then dedicate a smaller portion to "testing the waters" of individual stock plays. I am not a financial professional, but some funds I personally like: VOO - Vanguard S&P500 VTI - Vanguard Total Stock Market SPDR - S&P 1500 BND - Vanguard Total Bond Market (small % for bear market protection) Best of luck, don't get discouraged!

First of all look for a registered broker, etoro is a known market-maker (just something not too reliable). DeGiro or interactive brokers are good, the first is the easiest to use and the cheapest. The S&P ETF I use is this one: iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF USD, you can find it in degiro (IE00B5BMR087). I own S&P ETF because most of my shares are from NASDAQ. It's probably worth investing a small part of your savings in alternative investments like crypto (bitcoin and some smaller coins) and also I like start-ups. Some platforms allow to invest in them. The ones I am interested in are very niche maybe someone else can expand. Also question - a few months ago degiro said they could start reselling orders? anybody knows well what it means? is it better to move to IB?

You're one of the few who apparently can read legislative text and understand it. Especially as it can be referencing already codified laws and regulations on the books you'd need to look at to see where all is going where. I agree, the last infrastructure bill is a joke in that it only funds new spending of $500 billion +/-, where water infrastructure, like piping/sewage systems, is at $1 trillion+ in maintenance/repair/replacement needs back under the Obama administration, not to mention road/bridge maintenance before investing in better transit infrastructure. You don't get any of your information from the news? Does that mean you use WSB or another reddit site exclusively for your stock picks? You don't read any of Bloomberg, etc for stock movement? Because, if you haven't figured out, news from the Hill or the WH or the Fed all have a major impact on the overall market, here and abroad. I feel like you may be shooting yourself in the foot there. Yes, our government as written per the Constitution details this manner of elected representation. I have no problem with that and would prefer not to revert to mob rule and the momentary reflexes of the American populace in that moment to vote on legislation of major consequence for the general public, and sometimes the world populace as a result, with heated emotion. There's a reason the Senate is elected in 6 year terms over the 2 for the House, that was always seen as the more emotional of the two houses. Term limits aren't even the issue there. If you want greater choice and the votes to better reflect yourself and your district then push for independent redistricting, taking the power out of the hands of those who would seek to preserve their own positions. Make it easier for people who have the right as much as any person born in this country to vote, not more difficult. Maybe go for publicly funded elections over private donations, and a condensed period of being elected. Make the days of elections holidays so everyone can go and exercise their right to vote, not just the privileged and the wealthy. Maybe let's go back to the original formula of 1 U.S. representative representing 50,000 or even 100,000 rather than the 1 per 6-700,000 people, because that's not very representative. That just holds down the numbers in the House. That would mess both parties up and open up Congress to more diverse and reflective voices.

Paywalled so: Solar specialist Enphase Energy's (ENPH) earnings were so good that the entire sector was shining bright Wednesday. Fremont, California-based Enphase 's third-quarter results smashed Wall Street's expectations, as the leader in home solar energy systems and a pioneer in inverter technology reported record revenue after markets closed Tuesday. Enphase stock jumped 15% in U.S. premarket trading, helping the Invesco Solar Exchange-Traded Fund (TAN) -- which counts Enphase as its second-largest holding -- rise 3.9%. The rest of the sector was beaming, too. First Solar (FSLR) jumped 4%, SunRun (RUN) lifted 3.3%, SolarEdge (SEDG) surged 4.7%, and Shoals Technologies (SHLS) climbed 1.8% in the premarket trade. All four companies are manufacturers of solar panels, batteries, or systems for solar energy projects. In the third quarter, Enphase saw record sales of $352 million, up from $179 million a year ago and ahead of analyst expectations of $345 million, according to FactSet data. Net income was $22 million, beating estimates of $16 million, while an adjusted measure of net income showed $84 million in profit. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) was $ 0.60, ahead of estimates of $0.49. Enphase expects to set another record for revenue next quarter, with outlook for sales to be in the range of $390 million to $410 million. Earnings came on the back of the company announcing a new type of energy system driven by its IQ8 solar microinverters, which convert the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC). "Many homeowners often assume that their solar systems will function if the sun is shining, even during a power outage. This has unfortunately not been true until today. Now, with IQ8 homeowners can realize the true promise of solar -- to make and use their own power," president and CEO Badri Kothandaraman said in a statement. Analysts at investment banking advisory group Evercore reiterated their "outperform" rating on Enphase shares, which they've given a price target of $216. Enphase stock ended Tuesday at $173.46, so Evercore's target implies 25%- plus upside. The analysts said the company was "in the midst of a breakthrough new product cycle" with IQ8. The team at Evercore, as well as analysts at asset manager Guggenheim Partners, also noted that the company continues to face supply chain and logistics challenges, but that it was doing a good job of handling them.

I'm in $FAMI (not a lot of my portfolio, only a couple thousand). I don't like Chinese companies at all, but I figured I'd put a bit in there. I'm much more interested in the emerging markets in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia (Nigeria and Saudi Arabia specifically). If Nigeria gets a hold of their security situation and roots out corruption and Saudi Arabia fixes their terrible international image, I see lots of room for growth. Saudi Arabia's S&P 500 equivalent is up almost 50% more than the S&P 500. Take that for what you will.

It's not because I believe in the company. Could care less to be honest about good fundamentals. Bankrupt companies run all the time. Scams go on insane multiples. I focus on PALI because of the raw numbers only. The tendency of a fund to suppress in order to acquire shares at batgain prices, only to deliberately run a stock when they are content. I am a trust guy. I trust a fund to do whatever it takes to make a run for profit I first found PALI doing deep ftd digging. I screened for low volume, high decline stuff. Stuff that was down to all time lows. I came across at least a dozen or so that have already done runs upward of 50% or more. Even prog was one I found in that list. Usmc too. PALI peaked my interest for having just soooo many ftd's. Way too many for a low float. 2.29 million? That's insane. It's like amc before it ran. And the borrow rate is just stupid high....so when I looked at why the borrow rate could be so high still....I just did the basic math of ftd's being entered at $3.88/share vs todays sp of $2.62. Decline of 67%. Borrow rate always just a few % above the decline. Too coincidental for me. Seems the 20/50ma has a small factor as well Altium really got lucky on their deal with PALI. But if retail catches wind of their plan moreso, it could prove interesting. I suspect that on level 2 data, that buy order for 90k shares or so at $2.59/share is actually Altiums order. Acquiring shares as they punish increases with shorts. Playing it down just to play it up. Word is that Altium will be able to exercise their warrants at whatever average share price is set next week. The only reason PALI was able to be suppressed friday was it's lack of volume. That new pr dropped, and PALI was taking off. Was climbing to break $3 fast on barely 100k volume. At 1 million to maybe 2 million volume at most, there would be no way in hell Altium could suppress it. So the theory prevails, that if retail does in fact run on PALI, whatever increase is met and held will only increase the warrants cost. Basically, the higher PALI goes, the higher cost to Altium, and the higher the run in PALI for the potential shareholder. Staddann's RAW NUMBER DD I've been in this stock since before the merger and the action here is rather strange. What I believe Altium is doing is Warrant Short Sale. Buyer (Altium) holds the right to exercise warrants, but doesn't do so. Instead, they sell short the stock and use the warrants as insurance. So they write certificates against those warrants for shorted shares and also why they can keep the FTD's down as they are cumulative. If you look at the numbers of FTD's especially May 13 (over 2m), that number is "reset" the day after. This means they've "found" the shares to cover for the FTD's and as mentioned above made certificates against warrants they have the right to exercise later - Look below. This is from the latest S-3 from July 30. **I've put in the "Edit" parts for better understanding.*\* " Further, the Equity Warrants include a provision such that, beginning six months after the closing of the Merger (Edit: close of merger was April 27. 2021), if the volume weighted average price of Company Common Stock is less than the then-applicable exercise price (Edit: $3.88) for five consecutive trading days, the holder of the Equity Warrant shall be entitled to receive 1.0 share of Company Common Stock for each share underlying the Equity Warrants being exercised thereunder in a cashless exercise. The exercise price and the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants and Equity Warrants will also be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock splits, dividends or distributions or other similar transactions as well as fundamental transactions. Prior to the effectiveness of the Waiver and Amendment Agreement (described below), two Resets occurred and the two Bridge Warrants and the Equity Warrants were exercisable for up to 429,446, 429,446, and 5,303,568 shares, respectively, each at an exercise price of $3.88 per share, and two potential Resets remained." Found on page 6 -  https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001357459/d0e35ebc-df30-4731-8309-b10aa59c6251.pdf It's easy to understand why Altium would manipulate the stock. So, there you have it. The who, what, where, when, and how PALI is manipulated. Now it lays in retails hands. Will retail push back? Or will predatory hedge funds win? Guess we'll see.

This and the VIX flying up are two of the oldest indicators...except that's common knowledge now. S&P was even fined for misrepresenting the Index earlier this year...can't have these silly predictors telling people to get out. And the yield curve inverting is known too. If you look at the yield curve, it's at it's lowest it's ever been...but it still isn't inverted. They are doing everything they can to prevent that, so we end up with the crazy yield curve we have now. The entire point of the yield curve is to show when long term investments are being treated as riskier than short term investments, hence the curve flips. As it is now, the yield curve is simply saying that all debt instruments have close to zero return...aka, the only investments that can beat inflation right now are ones that have risk. The yield curve did flip two years ago, which is part of the predictor for a crash. But then corona happened and changed everything. It didn't just match financial policies, it matched fiscal policies for nations too. If you want to read more, blackrock has a small paper about it if I can try and find it.

David Marshack, former Terrastar engineer, Independently vetted AST Spacemobile for the pipe investors in addition to BlueWalker 1 validation. Funding risks have been eliminated thanks to the SPAC funding. Non-dilutive sources of financing are available from Spacemobile partners.

Abel has mentioned he is very confident in the array deployment during the latest earnings call. Non-binding memorandums of understanding with Telefonica, Indosat Ooredoo, Telecom Argentina, Telstra, Millicom, Liberty Latin America and Smart (Philippines) 7 senators have written letters of support to the FCC for licensing. U.S. licensing is still pending, but is not necessary due to a loophole allowing satellite usage of a MNO’s spectrum in areas not covered by towers. The FCC’s concern would be satellites creating radio interference with existing ground communications. (FCC Report No. SAT 01509) Launch costs have been falling by order of magnitudes and will continue to get lower. This and developments in phased array technology are the reason this is only now possible. Governments around the world are making 5G coverage a national priority to connect rural areas and provide service during disasters. Some governments consider the internet to be a human right. In addition to public need, there are military applications, such as: jam/spoof proof GPS, secure lightweight communications, smart weapons, etc. Member of WRC-23 Advisory Commitee which advises policy for the United States in preparation for the World Radiocommunication Conference. Unnamed entity paid for BlueWalker3 development costs. Also mentioned around the same time, an alternate use for defense applications was found (likely high reliability GPS that can’t be spoofed). FINAL THOUGHTS It was my attempt to compile facts and knowledge from a multitude of sources in a fair and balanced way for investors to reference. I believe this company to be an incredible opportunity for investors who understand how big of an addressable market Spacemobile will serve and how fast that market is growing. No other company on the planet is poised to close the digital divide faster/cheaper than AST Spacemobile (and governments need this to happen). Eventually there will be a meaningful competitor because the revenue opportunity is so large, but it will likely be a duopoly with Spacemobile as the industry leader. This stock is not without risk and will continue to require investor patience. After spending months looking for a bear argument besides mainly execution risk (which has been mitigated), I have invested all of my discrecionary funds into $ASTS. I hope you read this as a skeptical investor, but given the chance that even half of this is true it would be worth your time to investigate further. I am very much open to hearing factual bearish arguments/concerns beyond what I addressed. I am not a financial advisor, please do your own due diligence.

COMPETITION AND RISKS There is really only one competitor which is Lynk Global, Inc. Although many people at first glance perceive Starlink, Kuiper, OneWeb, Iridium, Globalstar, OmniSpace, OQ Technology, and Swarm as competitors, in reality they are not. No other company has cracked the code of how to connect an unmodified cell phone to a satellite while offering 5G speeds. Given the 1 trillion dollar TAM opportunity in space, satellite 5G, IoT, and broadband services; there is plenty of room for competition. The mobility market niche alone has been estimated up to 400 billion TAM by Lynk Global. •Lynk Global, Inc. Lynk is a LEO satellite operator still in the research and development phase. Founded by Charles Miller CEO/founder of Nanoracks in 2008, a cube sat manufacturer, Lynk plans to provide 5G coverage in partnership with terrestrial mobile network operators. According to their website, “Lynk’s affordable universal mobile broadband opens doors to full economic participation for populations who have been locked out due to geography, poverty, or gender—all because they lack a phone with connectivity to the Internet.” They were the first to send a text message from a LEO satellite to an unmodified cell phone in March 2020. Currently received seed funding of 20 million USD (primarily from: Steve Case, Revolution Rise CEO and AOL co-founder and Blazar Capital) and plans to raise additional funds from series A financing for the orbital constellation. To date, they have launched 4 prototype satellites from the international space station - an impressive accomplishment. Now focusing on a B2B model with mobile network operators looking for satellite coverage for network gaps and providing service where towers are unfeasible (same model as Spacemobile) and also focused on providing service for first responders. The first 1,500 satellites in orbit will provide primarily text messaging and voice services due to the favorable propagation characteristics of the sub 1,000 MHz frequencies and due to the small aperture size of their satellites 1 meter square phased array antenna. Although they have a similar business model, they will not be able to match the speeds and capacity of Spacemobile because it’s aperture size is 331 times smaller than a BlueBird1 antenna. Lynk plans to launch its constellation 500 km high which will provide nearly the same latency as Spacemobile. Lynk has already launched its prototype satellite called Shannon. What we know about Lynk’s latest prototype is: “Shannon is five times the mass, seven times the power, twice the RF gain as Lynk #4” (original mass was said to be 25 kg) and 25% of the size of the LEO satellites being launched by OneWeb or SpaceX”. Miller mentioned that “One of Lynk’s innovations is that we use spectrum sharing, so you can do this over UHF, and there is no rain fade at UHF. The rain fade that people are used to happens in the mid-wave and millimeter-wave higher frequencies.” Ultra High Frequency bands (UHF) which is 300 MHz - 3,000 MHz will limit the amount of data that can be transmitted with terrestrial carriers. Think of your home router and only being able to use the 2.4 GHz signal with all your devices. “Lynk should be able to offer continuous service worldwide after putting about 2,000 satellites into orbit, and full-fledged broadband services are scheduled to be offered after 5,000 satellites have been launched in 2025”, Miller said. Initial service will be mostly limited to 2G and eventually 4G and 5G service will be added, but the speeds and latency are not specified. Given Lynk satellites are UHF, not microwave compatible, it is unlikely to deliver true 5G speeds, even with 10,000 satellites. Miller stated in regards to his size problem: “We can do decent-sized speeds with this satellite. Obviously, if we build bigger satellites, it will go faster.” He added, “We’re not doing Battlestar Galacticas—that’s an orbital-debris problem. We could grow this to a Battlestar Galactica if we wanted to, but we just think that’s crazy. But that’s a choice. We could build a massive, huge satellite in orbit—we’re experts in satellite technology, so we know what that would take—we just think that makes no sense at this time.” Realistically path loss is an issue which will either reduce the data received from the satellite or drain the phone's battery trying to upload. Similarly a smaller satellite has less surface area so a 20 kW antenna can’t be powered and beam steered to a user’s device. •SpaceX SpaceX is a satellite to phased array terminal provider competing with existing companies like Hughesnet. Their technology cannot communicate with a standard cell phone. In developing countries it is unlikely people will be able to afford a $500 receiving dish and computer to access the internet. It is much more likely they will buy a used smartphone for $10 - $20 and use an a la carte plan from Spacemobile. Remember there are billions of unconnected people due to the cost and inaccessibility of internet currently. In developed countries will use Spacemobile as well. SpaceX is launching BlueWalker3, so they are actually a partner. •Omnispace Omnispace is a planned mobile communications global hybrid network based on 3GPP standards. “Omnispace's unique mission of delivering satellite-based IoT communications direct to the device.” Partnered with Intelsat and Lockheed Martin. Ram Viswanathan, president and CEO of Omnispace, was CEO of Devas Multimedia, who pioneered the development of India’s satellite-terrestrial broadband internet and media services platform. Prior to that, he led the strategic partnerships as CSO and EVP of Business Development at Cidera. As WorldSpace’s SVP of Corporate Development, he helped formulated the successful U.S. joint venture, XM Satellite Radio. “Omnispace is fully committed to the vision of creating a new global communications platform that powers 5G connectivity directly to mobile devices from space,” Omnispace has 2 primary target markets: •Commercial applications include IoT asset tracking, agriculture, automobiles, supply chain, energy industry, drones, smart infrastructure, and aquaculture among others. •Military/government applications include military IoT, first responders, global logistics, disaster relief, and mission critical command control. So you are probably reading this thinking they sound like a competitor. They are trying to control their narrow band of 2100 MHz to provide for government and enterprise use because the capacity of their satellites is limited by the physical size of their cubesats. Capacity is limited also due to the fact their antenna is tuned to a narrow band. Just from a physics perspective in terms of gain, spectrum, and transmitting power their maximum capacity is limited to the needs of their target segment. Smartphones aren’t currently compatible with the frequencies Omnispace uses. Abel said that he knows Omnispace well and doesn’t see them as a competitor. OmniSpace is working with Thales Alenia Space, Anywaves, Syrlinks, NanoAvionics (Spacemobile owns 51% of NanoAvionics) develop 2 prototype satellites to deploy in 2022, Omnispace is developing a narrow band IoT global hybrid network based on 3GPP standards. They plan to utilize small form S-Band operating at 2100 MHz. They plan to launch 200 small satellites in their constellation, so it can be inferred that this will not be high capacity due to the path loss limitation and limited transmitting power available to smaller satellites. Omnispace is another spectrum play (like Globalstar) with capabilities similar to Lynk and AST Spacemobile, but limited by their antenna/satellites design of 2100 MHz. Their limited bandwidth restricts their overall data capacity. They are mainly focused on government and enterprise needs, not streaming media to consumers. •Kuiper Amazon/Kuiper is a copycat of SpaceX using similar technologies and satellite sizes. The same competitive case applies to them as SpaceX. •Satellite IoT Service Providers Swarm, OQ Technologies, OneWeb are all in the market of providing low bandwidth services for the internet of things. This is easily a service Spacemobile can provide at low cost, but these competitors cannot connect to a cell phone using ultra high frequencies needed for 3G speeds or higher. •Iridium & Globalstar They own premium spectrum and outdated assets. Globalstar is allowing text and phone calls to specialized devices and Iridium is offering basic IoT services. Globalstar’s primary business model has been to dilute shareholders and lease out its spectrum assets until its business model is disrupted and the CEO retires (think Sears business model). Iridium understands the value of low latency from LEO satellites, but has no plans for direct to unmodified smartphone connectivity. They will likely have a niche in the IoT market for asset tracking and low data demand applications.

TARGET MARKETS Spacemobile is not a direct to consumer company, they are operating using a super wholesale B2B model. They plan to work with leading MNOs who own expensive spectrum (US spectrum auctions netted 80B) and fill in their network gaps. This will be game changing for people in developing countries who have no connection at all. Spacemobile will enable MNOs to offer plans at all price points to provide 2G service such as text, 3G voice, 4G LTE, and 5G packages and a la carte service. These are the people who will never be connected through a $500 receiver and laptop, but can afford a used phone for $10 and buy minutes, text, or data. In affluent counties subscribers can add roaming data packages with their carrier or enroll in a day pass through a text prompt. Total addressable market is anyone with a cell phone and those who live in developing countries without tower coverage, about 5 billion phones globally. Potential secondary market opportunities include powering IoT devices are very low cost, providing disaster coverage, secure gps service for military/governments/enterprises, frequency jamming for military applications, police tracking, maritime communication, smart cars, smart logistics, drones, and much more. Mobile data usage is growing exponentially at over 40% per year. Even in developed countries where home internet is common, mobile data has already surpassed home internet usage for users under 50. Spacemobile satellites have a much lower cost per gigabyte than a terrestrial cell tower due to their high vantage point, no leasing cost, and free solar power. Despite this advantage, satellites are not the solution for dense cities where it would be impossible to allocate enough spot beams to cover everyone. REVENUE Spacemobile is operating under a super wholesale business model where revenue is split 50:50 or better with its MNO partners. This is a brilliant strategy because the MNOs are paying billions for spectrum licensing, terrestrial infrastructure, customer acquisition costs, lobbying, and administration. Revenue is projected to start around $180 million in 2023 rapidly growing to $16.44 billion in 2030. EBITDA margins are projected to be above 96%. Total investment in the constellation is expected to be $3.3 billion by 2028 with a service life of 10 years means capex/revenue is 2%. Since mobile data grows at 40% annually it can be inferred that revenue would likely follow a similar trajectory after the initial growth phase. Phase 1 will include equatorial regions with 20 satellites covering 1.6 billion people. Many of these people in South Asia, Africa, Pacific Islands, and South America do not have access to cell phone service where they live. Spacemobile has memorandums of understanding with MNOs representing 80% of this population, 1.3 billion people. In developing countries primarily talk and text will be offered while in more affluent countries higher price/data packages will be offered. The financial projections expect to have 180 million subscribers in this region or 11% market penetration. Pricing plans developing countries will likely range from $.75 to $2 and be offered along side a la carte plans offered via text when leaving tower coverage. Average revenue per user (ARPU) for the equatorial region is estimated to be approximately $1 per month according to the investor deck. Revenue is forecasted to be $181 million in 2023 and $1.07 billion in 2024. Phase 2 will provide coverage across the rest of the world to the remaining 5 billion people (China and Japan excluded). In developed countries pricing plans could range from $5 - $25 monthly depending on the speeds and monthly data required, likewise day passes will be offered ad hoc for users exiting tower coverage. 11% market penetration is assumed as well for this remaining segment. ARPU for developed countries is estimated to be $7.6 per month in the investor presentation. In 2028, when phase 2 should be completed, revenue is expected to be $12.4 billion. Rakuten will have unlimited usage rights in Japan in exchange for $500,000 annual payment and the usage of their software. VALUATIONS Valuation is subjective to many variables, assumptions, discount rates, and timeframes. Barclay’s has a $29 price target for 2021 and Deutsche Bank has a price target of $35. Both recommendations use high discount rates and reduced assumptions about future margin and probabilities of success. Taking the 2030 revenue projections verbatim we can roughly assume that the market cap would be about 263 billion given a modest 16 P/E multiple. Given about 211.5 million shares, assuming warrants (17.6 million outstanding) are the only dilution, you get a future share price of $1,243. This would represent over 120x return to the current share price (current price of $10.08 at a $1.8 billion market cap). Revenue projections could easily be lower or much higher than management anticipates. The current market cap of ~$1.8 billion looks very attractive when compared to similar satcom companies like Starlink, currently valued at $80-$90 billion, who has a smaller potential customer/revenue base and may not be cash flow positive until 2030 (Spacemobile expects to be cash flow positive in 2023). Additionally, Spacemobile has about $400 million cash, a valuable patent portfolio, andg 51% stake in NanoAvionics (a satellite manufacturer/operator who plans to get 30% nanosat bus U.S.market share).

On liquid options trading a spread that way as two separate orders for each leg is a little more risky than trading it at a single net credit or debit. It's much more risky on thinly traded options. Also I doubt Merrill will actually let you trade a spread the way you stated, because you do not have margin. FINRA requires U.S. American style equity spreads must be in a margin account. I also have an account at Merrill, and they have minimum equity amounts for various option levels, though I don't know what would be for the level they have that includes spreads.

First of all, is there anything that would significantly improve your life? I'm not talking a nicer car or a hot tub, but if you don't own a car or a (decent) TV and you think it would significantly improve your life, spend some money on that (not all of it). Or if it could help you own a house/apartment instead of renting, that's also always a good investment and life improvement. Investing (safely) is always a good idea, but it's a nice idea if your grandpa is able to give you a bit more enjoyment even after his passing. As for there rest; are you interested in investing? If not, just go with an S&P500 index fund. Returns have been crazy the last 10 years, so they might be a bit lower the next ten, but it might also be the new normal. Either way, it historically returns roughly 8% a year, so if you put $10k in an index fund today it'll likely be worth roughly $220,000 by the time you're 63. Even when accounting for inflation that's roughly $100,000 in today's value. If you are interested in investing, educate yourself in how to invest safely (long term investing) and don't invest everything at once until you have a decent understanding of how to invest. This will probably take 6-24 months depending on how much time you spend on it.

>Could you imagine being taxed for unrealized gains You don't need to imagine. I ran a simulation using daily S&P 500 data going back 45 years. Without carry-forward losses it works out to a **+98.7%** effective increase in the capital gains tax over a 10 year holding period! With carry-forward from what I understand individuals can only deduct $3,000 a year max, so that wouldn't matter. This could be an absolutely gigantic tax hike.

The catch is the past 5 years have been the best bull markets so far. Who knows when this bull market even ends. During a big bear market, the S&P500 can return -20% in a year. Long term wise, it should return about 10% per year on average.

As others have said, invest in yourself. For example, you could learn a trade with that money for sure. Shorter schooling time, less expensive than academic certification, and can basically walk into a job that pays at least 1.5-2x minimum wage. Very underrated. Just a suggestion in case you like working with your hands as it is a good bang for your buck. Then you could DCA into an S&P index fund or something from there while having a higher degree of financial stability. One of the bonuses of this route is the portions of your trade schooling you spend working to meet your “hours of experience” requirement, so you can also make money as a student.

It's not because I believe in the company. Could care less to be honest about good fundamentals. Bankrupt companies run all the time. Scams go on insane multiples. I focus on PALI because of the raw numbers only. The tendency of a fund to suppress in order to acquire shares at batgain prices, only to deliberately run a stock when they are content. I am a trust guy. I trust a fund to do whatever it takes to make a run for profit I first found PALI doing deep ftd digging. I screened for low volume, high decline stuff. Stuff that was down to all time lows. I came across at least a dozen or so that have already done runs upward of 50% or more. Even prog was one I found in that list. Usmc too. PALI peaked my interest for having just soooo many ftd's. Way too many for a low float. 2.29 million? That's insane. It's like amc before it ran. And the borrow rate is just stupid high....so when I looked at why the borrow rate could be so high still....I just did the basic math of ftd's being entered at $3.88/share vs todays sp of $2.62. Decline of 67%. Borrow rate always just a few % above the decline. Too coincidental for me. Seems the 20/50ma has a small factor as well Altium really got lucky on their deal with PALI. But if retail catches wind of their plan moreso, it could prove interesting. I suspect that on level 2 data, that buy order for 90k shares or so at $2.59/share is actually Altiums order. Acquiring shares as they punish increases with shorts. Playing it down just to play it up. Word is that Altium will be able to exercise their warrants at whatever average share price is set next week. The only reason PALI was able to be suppressed friday was it's lack of volume. That new pr dropped, and PALI was taking off. Was climbing to break $3 fast on barely 100k volume. At 1 million to maybe 2 million volume at most, there would be no way in hell Altium could suppress it. So the theory prevails, that if retail does in fact run on PALI, whatever increase is met and held will only increase the warrants cost. Basically, the higher PALI goes, the higher cost to Altium, and the higher the run in PALI for the potential shareholder. Staddann's RAW NUMBER DD I've been in this stock since before the merger and the action here is rather strange. What I believe Altium is doing is Warrant Short Sale. Buyer (Altium) holds the right to exercise warrants, but doesn't do so. Instead, they sell short the stock and use the warrants as insurance. So they write certificates against those warrants for shorted shares and also why they can keep the FTD's down as they are cumulative. If you look at the numbers of FTD's especially May 13 (over 2m), that number is "reset" the day after. This means they've "found" the shares to cover for the FTD's and as mentioned above made certificates against warrants they have the right to exercise later - Look below. This is from the latest S-3 from July 30. **I've put in the "Edit" parts for better understanding.*\* " Further, the Equity Warrants include a provision such that, beginning six months after the closing of the Merger (Edit: close of merger was April 27. 2021), if the volume weighted average price of Company Common Stock is less than the then-applicable exercise price (Edit: $3.88) for five consecutive trading days, the holder of the Equity Warrant shall be entitled to receive 1.0 share of Company Common Stock for each share underlying the Equity Warrants being exercised thereunder in a cashless exercise. The exercise price and the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants and Equity Warrants will also be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock splits, dividends or distributions or other similar transactions as well as fundamental transactions. Prior to the effectiveness of the Waiver and Amendment Agreement (described below), two Resets occurred and the two Bridge Warrants and the Equity Warrants were exercisable for up to 429,446, 429,446, and 5,303,568 shares, respectively, each at an exercise price of $3.88 per share, and two potential Resets remained."

The who, what, where, when, and how PALI is manipulated. Now it lays in retails hands. Will retail push back? Or will predatory hedge funds win? Guess we'll see.

Nah... Burning a federal building in the CHAZ/CHOP. Here's what you've failed to realize... You're awful. They're awful. Both sides have become AWFUL PEOPLE. Dealing with anyone from either side of the hard left/right American political spectrum is awful. You do equally awful things, every single one of you. Name something the right does that's awful and I'll give you 10 examples of the left having that same energy in something they did. Tell me something the left did that was awful and I'll show you 10 examples of the right having that same energy in something they did. Americans have forgotten how to be anything other than left/right, including forgetting how to be decent human beings. At this point, there is no resolution to the deep societal issues in America. There are only two options: 1) Civil War 2) Peaceful Divorce and/or Balkanization. The white hot hatred Americans have for each other can only burn so long before it just explodes into war. Americans don't argue about policy positions... Here's the honest to God truth, you will support any position so long as it's being proposed by someone from your side. That much is BLATANTLY obvious after COVID... Early on in the pandemic, it was the LEFT that was arguing that we shouldn't take COVID so seriously, and to stop being afraid of it because that's racist and xenophobic. It was the right clamoring to shut down borders and wearing masks and goggles and gloves. Nancy Pelosi was marching through Chinatown telling people to go on down and be in a huge crowd because it was totally safe and fine. It was Trump who was shutting down borders and taking COVID \*super\* seriously. Then, it evolved and the sides switched. Instead of one side coming to agree with the other, like the left just saying ''Oh shit we were wrong this is actually super serious'' and coming together with the right... Or the right joining the left in the belief that it wasn't that serious... YOU ALL REFUSED TO AGREE WITH THE OTHER SIDE and both sides, in an effort to simply disagree with each other because FUCK THAT GUY IF HE'S AGREEING WITH ME I'LL SWITCH MY POSITION IN ORDER TO NOT LOOK LIKE I'M SIDING WITH \*HIM\*. I would bet my entire life savings that by 2121, America will no longer exist as we know it. Either it will have broken apart, or one side will have taken over after a war, and since both sides are massive authoritarians, America will no longer be a free Republic.

The mass production S curve for EVs is in play, it’s going to be like a black hole hit every car maker that isn’t prepared enough. Tesla is currently the only company prepared for it. VW is a maybe. Toyota has the ability but the management seems to not care and they keep wasting time with hydrogen.

There isnt a single stock in the S&P500 I wouldnt buy for a 100% match. Literally double! The real question is why he is taking only 0.5 out of that 10 million match. If anything, that sounds like he is pretty bearish on Intel.

If you have a credit card, or high interest debt, eliminate that first. Dont worry about studentdn loans or car payments. Dont buy a new car or san Then, I would put the first $10k in either SPY (S&P 500) or VTI (total index / all the stocks). This is your backbone and your guaranteed return for your future. If you never touch that, it will be half a million or more when you're 65. Never trade this, or mess with it. You could put this in a Roth IRA, and take out tax free when you're old tax free. THEN, if you still have $2k left, sure go buy some Google, Apple, Amazon or another company that makes a lot of money already and still has room to grow. Or throw it on a growth stock. At this point, it doesn't really matter because you have an emergency fund, which means you don't have to pull money out of the market in an emergency, and you have a huge position of your portfolio in a low risk ETF. As you make more money, you can start adding to your brokerage account and chasing higher risk trades.

Oooooh nice! I forgot it was out. I'm deep in the boonies with no tv anyway so I can't watch it, but this will give me something to look forward to coming back to civilization for. Actually wouldn't watch it anyway. My wife would involuntarily sterilize me if I started S3 without her.
