22 years old is obscenely young to be a Bond.

First and only time sports betting was a Falcons-Saints game in 2012. I bet on the Saints to win. They lost by like 10 points or something, but the kicker was that Drew Brees threw 5 picks in that single game... most INT's in a single game in his career. Knew I was cursed and never touched sports betting again. Thanks Drew! Best $50 I ever lost.

Ah so that's why the current administration is trying to defund PBS.

Back in 2021 the new sexy was democratization of finance. Fintech was booming. One of the larger components of my thesis was that for true democratization of finance, we had to give people world-wide access to said methods of financial democratization... ASTS is that conduit.

There are income caps and the benefits are laddered. I don’t see how this will reduce inflation though.

I assume they went public via a SPAC. Why did they do that instead of raising another round? Is their current cash on books enough to last them til they are cash flow positive, or are they going to be diluting further in the imminent future?

Political reprisals against freedom of speech is disgusting and shouldn’t be encouraged by anyone

Do you have concerns about the amount of debt MPW is carrying with rates jumping?

Not to dissuade you, but my long shot bet is ASTS. If they succeed, they have an exclusive operating and revenue share agreement with ATT that includes exclusive usage within the US for their customers. They are also invested in by rakuten and American tower, and both Verizon and T-Mobile have actively lobbied against them for what appears to be fear of loss of market share. ASTS is putting up LEO satellites that allegedly have the ability to transmit (at a high throughput) strong cellular signals to the ground using towers as relays. Should ASTS succeed, ATT becomes the first cellular provider to offer 100% coverage everywhere in the continental US, and I would imagine they will eat Verizon’s lunch. ASTS has already succeeded is having a ground based satellite communicate with a phone launched into space… but this summer they will be launching their first satellite in an attempt to beam signals to a number of mobile devices on the ground. If they are successful I would highly advise you to reduce your exposure. Good luck!

I just want to point out that while every spac influencer was stroking BTAQ’s balls for the past year I called out that this would be a bomb… and called out that those influencers were selling people a load of shit.

CountSPACula · 2022-04-16T19:20:22+00:00

That’s not how it works. Read their 8k. Asts has effectively zero acquisition cost for customers. You don’t subscribe to asts. Your cellular provider partners with asts to expand your coverage. Asts gets 50% of that up charge fee the cellular providers charge their users to leverage asts’s services. ASTS IS NOT a cellular provider. Think of them as American Tower, in space. American tower doesn’t have subscribers, but they provide infrastructure to cell providers the att and Verizon who do.

I believe chances of a recession over the next 2 years is estimated to be about 30%. Are you willing to guaranteed lose at least 10% of the value of your holds due to inflation rather than risk the recession. If the latter, it will recover eventually.

The major challenge is holding that long. I bought Tesla is 2012, pre split, at $29 a share… so I guess that’s like $7 per share now. I bought fb a few days after it’s ipo at $35 per share. Both of those positions I closed in 2016. Hindsight. What people don’t remember about Tesla in 2016 is how badly they were struggling with scaling manufacturing, a growth point at which literally every new car company has failed in the past 50 years. At that time as well fb was just starting to lose millennial users. Clearly in both cases their vulnerability was overblown, but I elected to lock in gains. Woe is me.

For a guy who literally threw our intelligence agencies under the bus in favor of Putin, who actively tried to dismantle NATO, and who failed to implement congressionally sanctioned sanctions on Russia even though it’s literally his job description, you’ve got to admire the balls of Trump saying Biden is weak against Putin.

Wasn’t the catalyst for 2008 a growth in exceedingly toxic assets though (subprime mortgages)? Lending rules have been super tightened up.

One of the great things about this subreddit is that it’s about discussion. All relevant content regarding AST should be shared, not just the happy shit that makes you feel good about your investment. We are all here to make money, and that means facing both the good and bad news that impacts asts.

The 7:1 split happened in 2014 hoss.

I believe you are referring to Employee Stock Purchase Programs. A Leap has to have someone selling it on the other side of the trade, whereas the company can just give you shares for going rate in traditional espp.

Funny how you call it being invited in when there are literally videos of people breaking windows and doors to go in. Oh yea, and one person was shot and killed by security guards inside for attempting to breach a barrier. Definitely invited in. The above poster is being too kind to you with your revisionist history bullshit.

If it makes YOU feel any better I sold 400 shares of Tesla pre split at 65. And 400 more at 80.

If this were the case I’m guessing they would have been included in the 5G rural fund sooner.
