$SATS booming. Why? DISH had 40% short interest prior to merge. Short brokers got trapped
SATS taking Off after heavily shorted!!!
$OZK will probably explode very soon, their revenue share and bridging are best on the market
Conventional wisdom says you should invest in companies that you have had a quality, personal experience with. Should you short the others?
To all the ASTS haters, you're going to lose money anywhere you go, even the ocean!

Bringing SATS back to 26
I want to have opening bell tomorrow show me KSS at under 11 and SATS under 46
SATS volatile after hours. Wouldn't be surprised if its in the 40s by open
What happened to SATS?!
If you short shit then SATS is where you want to be…🩸🩸🩸
I hope SATS drops 30% of its 80% gains overnight.
SATS puts are about to print
Loaded on SATS puts. Looking for a pullback second half of trading day.
I woke up to my SATS position up 80% and nuke/uranium stocks thru the roof…. What happened today lmao
SATS can you please drop like 10% thanks.
There is definitely some insider trading on SATS , some people opened 32c expiring this week even though it was only 200 contracts around $5k , they turned it to $500k+
whoa SATS skyrocketing today, apparently on the news of a deal with AT&T
Id love to see SATS lose 20% of the 75% its up today.
Hopefully it drags SATS down with it
No clue but my guess is calls on $SATS AT&T just bought a ton of licenses from them and the stock is up over 70% today. Its in the low $50s and was $17 like within the last few weeks
The fact that SATS had valuable spectrum assets was a known fact (although nobody knew exactly when/how it would be monetized).
lucid, rivian report slightly better results? TSLA pumps energy sector down? TSLA pumps tariffs imposed? TSLA pumps declining sales? TSLA pumps SATS contract with AT&T? TSLA pumps because starlink, why not
SATS not gonna stay up +75% all day. Profit taking and pullback inevitable. Drop back into the 40s coming
Forget about ASTS Chat can talk about SATS
I think SATS gonna come back down into mid 40s
How high can SATS go? 60+?
SATS reaching ATH after the contract with AT&T
Inny of you wanna SATS on muh dik
ASTS not SATS damn you dysexlia
SATS is about to print so hard
Rklb & asts are the old story. Welcome to new golden boi SATS +70% premaket. To the 🌙🌙🌙
Why is SATS up that much?
SATS is already up over 40% premarket… Source: PR Newswire https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/echostar-announces-spectrum-sale-and-hybrid-mobile-network-operator-mno-agreement-steps-toward-resolving-federal-communications-commissions-fcc-inquiries-302538317.html
Ohh I thought you meant watch SATS to show a sign of weakness, use that as a signal to short NIO. No idea why I read it that way
Short NIO, watch SATS for weakness to short.
SATS has a huge call wall at $30 but it hung on over $28 support today during the rotation sell off. Little profit taking and compressing. Worth setting an alert over $30. SOUN also found relative strength today. Like both of those as breakout plays when this rotation BS is over.
It’s been months since I’ve participated on this subreddit. I was told by some idiot to buy $DISH because of some dumb story, and ended up being a huge bag holder. $DISH got turned into $SATS, and today $SATS is up %50. Hey dish guy, wherever you are, you were right! Just a couple years early…
$SATS is going to move wildly one way or the other this week. FCC Chair is due to announce his actions regarding his request for comment on $SATS 's spectrum. I'm banking on him backpedaling a reasonable amount from how much action he was looking to take, because Elon pissed Trump off.
I wish SATS were called kernels
I like how SATS are trolling people like you by not telling them the most obvious reason for BTC. Rethink the whole concept and you may get it.
Any thoughts on SATS Echostar announcing this AM?
Stop it, nobody in this post wants to read a rational thought!!! SATS to 50$ 🤟🏻
It's hard to have revenue when you just put the first block of SATS on the sky. RemindMe! 1 year
I have been sitting on 100 shares of SATS I got when Dish was converted (orig 300 shares) The stock has been super lame, so last month I sold a covered call in Dec exp and only got $200 out of it, but the strike price was high enough to get me out of the position with a small loss. Well, SATS takes off like a rocket, and to buy back the option and sell the stock I will take a beating. A buy/write was suggested but I don't see the advantage. Her's a good article on the topic, good luck. [Placing Option Trades (Multi-Leg) (schwab.com)](https://help.streetsmart.schwab.com/edge/1.6/Content/Placing%20Option%20Orders%20Multi-leg.htm)
check out echostar SATS
how do you think the acquisition will affect the stocks of both T and SATS?
trying not to buy any options this week and SATS -20% is staring me in the face...
SATS under $23 Is this a good call?
I was just bragging about how well you've treated me on Friday SATS, how could you do this to me? (-17% right now)
SATS Echostar down 15%
Keep stacking SATS bro
well the puts were an insurance policy to limit my downside, I know that until the call expires I am guaranteed $22.90 per share, which beats the $17.50 it was at when i sold the option. I originally bought 300 shares of Dish that was converted to 105 shares of SATS (echostar). I sold the 5 shares to buy the puts.
No one is holding "the" option, but there are an equal number of shorts and longs in existence. When a long exercises, a short is chosen essentially at random for assignment. And it would be a waste of money for a long to exercise right now. That option still has about 1.50 of extrinsic value. It doesn't matter how much they paid for it, and it doesn't matter how much you received when you sold it. Imagine you are holding one of those December 21 strike calls, and you happen to want to buy 100 shares of SATS. Well, yes, you could exercise, and pay $2100 for the shares. Or you could just sell the call, receive about $590, and buy the shares on the open market for $2523, effectively "spending" only $1933. Why would you spend $2100 when you could spend $1933? So a long is not going to exercise.
In general, this is a common beginner question. You are not going to get assigned if the option has any extrinsic value remaining. It would be a waste of money for a long to exercise. They would be better off just selling the option. Having said that, we can't look up your position and verify, since you left out the most important detail: the strike price of the option you sold. That is way more important than how much premium you received to sell it or what it is currently worth. Also, there are both adjusted and non-adjusted SATS options. Hopefully, you sold a non-adjusted one.

So, what’s the chances musk gets his shit together, and starts firing up SATS that meat the standards…. Could easily catch up?
Who in their right mind is buying SATS? Don't understand why it keeps melting up after every horrible quarterly report.
Didn't the FAA make a rule that all LEO SATS need to de-orbit after 5 years? Or maybe it was just 5 years after mission end date...
I'll just repost what I put in Weekend Thread: "It's being priced above well-established existing satellite service providers. Moreover, it's being priced at 2x their valuations while having just ONE satellite in orbit. These other companies already cover remote areas. What does ASTS have over Starlink? Hughesnet? VIASAT? The company will need billions to launch the hundreds upon hundreds of necessary satellites it'll need to have a functional network and is hemorrhaging cash. It has a 100 million dollar deal with VZ/T. So what? 400m in assets. 200m in liabilities. 200m in cash. 200m in debt. -150m in net income. 900k in revenue. Where is this company going to get the capital it needs to get this shit off the ground? I'll tell you. Stock dilution. They're going to issue tens of millions of shares. " ASTS financials: [https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ASTS/balance-sheet/](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ASTS/balance-sheet/) [https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ASTS/financials/](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ASTS/financials/) Competitor for comparison: [https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SATS/financials/](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SATS/financials/) I'm not going to argue with you though and you can do what you want lol. I see you also have FFIE positions so you're just a memestock guy. Saw so many people like you during the GME/BBBY/NOK/TSLA squeeze go bust and I tried to tell them.
So far my best performers today are SSD (construction supplier) +4.3%, SATS (communications) +3.8%, and HAL (drilling supplier) +3.8% My worst performer is, no surprise, Ford at -17.3%. Other than that CAG and GOOGL are each down ~1.5%
Is it me? Or is SATS echostar completely undervalued?
It got bought by SATS. It’s doing well. Dish’s 5g buildout is booming
Thank you for your post!! I actually found the original post to be a GIFT 🎁! So much time energy put into researching the product, its need, how it competes with others like it, addressing its challenges facing now, (does contribute to purchase power being affordable at $15-$25 a share) and It opened my eyes to asking many follow up questions! B/c I’d love I so appreciate stock purchasing advice. Unfortunately, I do not know a lot about all of the factors, or the right resources to use, read, research, that go into researching and having well thought out, reasons, that I understand, can explain to others if asked, and my own self confidence that logically a particular stock has a very good reasonable likelihood to be a successful purchase!! That does in fact turn into a rise in value of the stock!! If I could turn back the cloak I’d have studied economics more thoroughly, instead of a masters in science, nutrition….(I had some successful years, but it is not something that opens doors to much, and I don’t have a passion for it) After working years as dietitian in various places, I thought if I could do well on GMATS, I could make an argument for going back to school- MBA. I actually studied for the GMATS, had a tutor and I loved the math portion, I love figuring the challenging ones out. I definitely wanted to bring my score up 100 points but could see poetical! but the English portion……such a challenge for me. Even on SATS —- what a spread with my score in math verse verbal…. Verbal was/is such a challenge. Anyway, I took a course for a few months, business, learned about EBITDA, and some other matters, but all the others had a real economics background, some may have had MBA, so learning about investing in various areas-(real estate, stocks, and much more….) took a back seat to the main studies , even using the excel with particular mathematical formulas, everyone already knew…. I had to catch up a lot! I did learn some things- but it was a costly class, and didn’t turn into Job- as kind of promised by the president/Ceo of this company- in a one on one meeting-discuss.. Anyway, veered off topic ….
I like to sell puts. And only within one to three weeks from the current week. Far enough out of the money where it’s safe. Only nets me 100 - 400 a month avg cuz I’m conservative. I was a little too excited selling puts for DISH last summer/fall and I ended up taking a bath. Finally sold after it became SATS at a loss, waited for it to come back up enough, and then dumped. LESSON here: buy put options back before they get assigned if below strike. Losing a couple hundred is better than losing several hundred. Selling covered calls is stupid and I almost never do it. Too easy to lose on a gain to buy calls back or worse yet have yr shares called away.
Something big is looming over at SATS, yahoo shut down the message board on 3/6/24. I don't see how so many shares from DISH were covered. SATS short interest went from 4M in DEC 2023 (before merger) to 15M in March 2024. No way the DISH short shares covered the rest. Maybe SATS will squeeze??
SATS - undervalued. Shorted for a reason. Next GME?
Buying more SATS puts. Can't wait for HughesNet to get to zero.
I am ready to short $SATS and everything else Starlink is going to bankrupt. Here are my thoughts: First what the trade is: PUT Collar on SATS - a OTM short call vertical to offset the cost of a long put: * buy a $SATS OTM PUT you feel comfortable with * sell a $SATS short call vertical to cover the cost of the long put * wait for the stock to go to $0 ​ This assumes that SATS will drop in price significantly. Time frame: 12 months. ​ Why I think this one will go to zero **in the next 12 months:** 1. context: In January 2024 Dish Wireless (Boost Mobile etc.) and HughesNet merged to form **EchoStar Corp** with ticker symbol SATS. The balance - summary:: 1. **Assets:** $7.4 billion - satellites and other fixed assets 2. **Liabilities:** $5.2 billion - long-term debt and accounts payable 3. **Shareholders' equity:** $2.2 billion 2. performance: What happens when you combine two orthogonal and terrible products? 1. HughesNet customers sharing feedback in[r/HughesNet/](https://www.reddit.com/r/HughesNet/) \-- hint - customers hate the service. It simply does not work. 2. Here is DISH 5G - [r/dish5G/](https://reddit.com/r/dish5G/) \- it's fine in the limited number of cities it can actually serve any customers. 3. technicals: HughesNet launched their Jupiter-3 satellite. That's another massive box with huge wingspan, which hovers at 35k kilometers above the Earth's equator and beams internet down to rural areas. The latency is around 700ms or about 70 **times** that of your Comcast coax or AT&T fiber. This makes FaceTime and/or gaming impossible. As of today, January 31, 2024, HughesNet operates **three satellites**: 1. **Jupiter 1 (EchoStar XVII):** Launched in July 2012, provides Ka-band internet services mainly in North America. 2. **Jupiter 2 (EchoStar XIX):** Launched in December 2017, serves as a backup and expansion satellite for Jupiter 1. 3. **Jupiter 3 (EchoStar XXIV):** Launched in July 2023, the newest and most powerful satellite yet, offering increased capacity and coverage across the Americas. 4. competition: 1. ViaSat - same as HughesNet - large geostationary satellites, high altitude, very high latency, low speeds, unhappy customers 2. Starlink - 500km above the equator, over 5000 satellites, many ground stations. latency around 30ms almost as low as terrestrial network connectivity - not an issue for FaceTime etc etc 3. Wireless providers such as T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T all of which now provide 5G Home Internet 4. Cable and Fiber operators expanding in rural areas. 5. soon: Project Kuiper 5. customers: undoubtedly HughesNet has been great for rural America, but it has failed to innovate and is no longer capable of delivering the Internet demanded by the modern consumer. HughesNet does serve corporate accounts such as Dollar General etc - as a backup service. Customers are fleeing HughesNet and joining Starlink. Starlink has 100x more capacity, thousands of satellites, 20x lower latency, unlimited Internet. ​ Based on all of this - it is safe to say that the only direction for the $SATS stock price is down towards ZERO. In the next 12 to 24 months we will see this company and their stock disrupted by both Starlink and Project Kiuper. ​ Happy Trading!
My DISH calls converted to 35 shares of SATS notional value. The +30% pop SATS got a few weeks ago on buyout rumors gave me an exit (calls were way OTM post merger). I'm bag holding a couple more expiry in March but the market is thin. I don't expect much but would be nice to see.
I think it's being shorted at 75% now after becoming $SATS. I imagine he's trying to keep the volatility to keep people away. He probably has another acquisition in mind. Paramount Global is apparently up for grabs if you just buy 77% of the PARAA voting shares you can take over the company that way. For whatever reason his 54% control of $SATS means he isn't finished and read to stop keeping the price low.
I'm watching BOWL, but waiting for the squeeze on $SATS and $GEO... the DISH guy is right, and now everyone is silent
Crazy. I heard people are making a crapload on SATS calls though
($DISH) $SATS $GEO Ugly corrupted of USB
The SATS option chain is a mess, I'm guessing because of the merger with DISH.
Whats up with $SATS today +28%
Holy shit SATS up 35% today. Granted it's basically just back to where it was end of December but still
The option chain for SATS is AIDS
My only regret is letting my DISH stock be converted to SATS
I almost invested in a cashapp stock. SATS ORDINALS. I Decided too risky
It doesn't look like the adjustment is showing up on the options chain yet. But with SATS1 at 3.87, a 3.5p and 6.5c are both OTM, so you don't want to exercise. Probably best to cut your losses and just sell now.
Already adjsuted. When a corporate action like a split or merger happens, google "theocc XXX option adjustment", replacing XXX with the ticker of the original contract. Doing that results in: https://infomemo.theocc.com/infomemos?number=53877 The key parts are these two sections: > 1) 35 EchoStar Corporation (SATS) Class A Common Shares > 2) Cash in lieu of 0.0877 fractional SATS Class A Common Shares and > SATS1 = 0.350877 (SATS) The latter helps you figure when the adjusted contracts go ITM vs. the SATS shares price. The 16.57 closing price x 0.350877 = 5.81 equivalent. So compare that to your strikes to determine ITM. Your contracts now are non-standard as they don't deliver 100 shares. Ideally you should have exited your option positions before the effective date of the adjustment, but since you didn't, you are now stuck with non-standard contracts and a possibly thinning market. The sooner your bail out, the better.
Anyone own $DISH calls going into the merger? Mine are now ITM (01/19 $10 calls). Not sure if so can sell them at open though, they got renamed to $SATS by RH
The contract terms will be changed. Symbol will be changed to SATS1. For more info, google “OCC infomemo 53877.”
Generally it is prefersble to exit options pre merger. The deliverable becomes adjusted according to the merger agreement, insteat od 100 shares of DISH, it is the converted number of the. SATS Shares. Generally adjusted options are traded only to close, so the market activity is much reduced.
DISH & SATS are merging 01/01/24. DISH becomes a subsidiary of SATS. Is anyone holding their long Call positions through the merger? What will happen to those Calls any predictions?
Dish Puts - Merger Question I own a couple 3/15 expiration puts ($3.00 strike). I misread the news a few months ago I thought SATs shares were going to be converted to DISH shares, looks like Dish shares will be SATS shares on Jan 2nd. What will happen to my puts? If I hold them?
I would wait for one week or at least next 3 trading days to see a trend. I been cached on $SATS when, though, that 20% drop after ER is great DIP, yes I got my money back by holding it one month but saw price at $9.50 what was -20% on portfolio and been lucky that bull runs went out, but here on Nike we need to wait for confirmation of breakout or hit supports at $105 or lower. Not financial advice 😎
dish calls. I have no stake beyond 30 shares of SATS.
They are recombining with Echostar, doing 5G network. The new company will be EchoStar and DISH ticker will be gone. A lot of synergy, ticker will be SATS.
Up 10% today, short interest 20-30%, merger news official with SATS AH yesterday and nobody published it but "seaking albha" until afternoon. Volumes have been increasing, today was 160% average volume. It's filling a gap down with room left to run a lot.

Don't forget, " the F I know" in title. It seems to be a stock worth actually buying, or SATS which DISH shares will become and they are trading in unison right now.
Corrected it to SATS, VM, my honey baby. LOVE YOU SWEETIE.
More divisible does not make more Bitcoins. Therefore you can't inflate it: * 100,000,000 SATS = 1 BTC (current scenario) * 100,000,000,000,000,000 SATS = 1 BTC (your scenario) The value of 1 BTC has **not** changed. You're just dividing up SATS more. It's like making $1 into 1,000 cents instead of 100 cents. You're not inflating, you're dividing. A dollar is still a dollar. The cents become worth 10x less by dividing by 10. The difference of rich people AKA elites in FIAT vs Bitcoin: 1. In FIAT, if the elites want a war: they print. This socializes the bill. Printing devalues/debases the national currency and you pay for that war through inflation. 2. In Bitcoin, if the elites want a war: they reach into their own back pockets. Or raise taxes, which democracy may decide. See the difference in elites? There will always be rich people.
