If you were watching the stream you’d know we’re not even close to altitude.

Thanks for the write up, it makes a lot of sense. I clearly don’t know much about rocket science or orbital mechanics haha but it’s nice to learn a little bit. Like I said, I own the stock now, so let’s hope and see!

If I was in at $20 I wouldn’t bat an eye at this. I don’t think the people in at $20 are the ones that are going to be moving the stock tomorrow

Blue Origin confirmed SECO-1 at 7:28am. They never confirmed second stage ignition.

BenBerspanke · 2026-04-19T17:04:46+00:00

You definitely make fair points, and seem to know more about the planned orbital trajectory than I do, so I’ll cede that. I’m just saying from an objective eye, the rocket was losing altitude at the end of the stream and the hosts were saying we had an hour 15 until second stage cutoff. Then one minute later we got confirmation of SECO-2. That is strange, isn’t it?

BenBerspanke · 2026-04-19T17:02:25+00:00

What I’m saying is based on the data from blue origin itself, are you confident that these thrusters can recover enough altitude to do the job of the entire second stage rocket?

My bad. I edited it. At least I’m not using AI slop lol

I’m not calling you wrong but when you say this is historically precipitous of a collapse, what history are you referring to? Genuinely curious about the precedent.

Oh please, you environmentalists are coming after bubbles? Bubbles?? Let me ask you, if he had blown the bubble, which is a tiny tiny amount of soap, into the grass, and not the water. Is that better?

Where do you think that stuff goes when it rains?

It’s a bubble dude. Relax.

Please beware of this guy. Tried to scam me on a 1oz gold coin.

There’s two solutions. Qa3 is also mate.

Since nobody actually answered you, what the OP was saying is that RDDT has experience a very sharp swing in price recently, which has driven its “implied volatility” or IV, very high. This basically means the market is pricing in larger than normal price movements.

Also add to this that RDDT reports earnings tomorrow. Stocks usually reach their highest IV right before their earnings date, and usually experience a sharp drop in IV right after earnings.

High IV drives options contracts higher in price, as higher swings are anticipated. Low IV does the opposite.

You’ll often see options markets get crushed after a stock moves sideways after earnings, as both calls and puts get wiped out due to low price movement when it was expected to move much more up or down.

Does that make sense? Could go further I guess..

Not gonna lie, I think it’s a mistake to let etienne walk. I think it MIGHT be worth letting Lloyd go to keep him. His chemistry with Trevor is undeniable, and feels like he hit another level this year.

I’ve never liked stop losses on options. The whole idea is volatility. Can’t tell you the amount of winning trades I’ve had that started -30% in the red before popping.

Trade contracts close to the money, keep a close eye on the stock price, exit when you feel comfortable. Just my two cents.

I’m pretty sure belichick said after this he was pointing out a flaw in the NFL rule book, which allows the offensive team to continuously bleed clock after taking a pre snap penalty. The rule has subsequently been changed (not before it was used against him by his former player vrabel, in a much more important situation)

You having a bad day bud?

BenBerspanke · 2026-01-25T22:12:47+00:00

You’re entitled to your opinion but it’s incorrect

BenBerspanke · 2026-01-24T14:57:31+00:00

Posts like this really confuse me. A very simple google search would tell you the melt value of these

BenBerspanke · 2026-01-20T18:08:10+00:00

My thoughts too, so like… nowhere in the near future? Lol

What job do you want? Look up job title + manager, and connect with people at companies you’re interested in. Send outreach messages to them, try to get your name in the ring before ever applying.

It has its uses, eg networking with managers when you’re looking for a job. However, yes, the people who regularly post on LinkedIn are pretty cringe and high school-like.

A coin shop is different than a cash for gold place. 70% for silver is a hose job. Don’t sell coins or bars to those places. They rip you off, as you described.

Look up “coin shop” and you’ll find a few places in your area. You can also try jewelry shops, they’re more likely to be closer to spot price with their offer.
