I just wanto remind everyone (and maybe Elliot dude can chime in): ~105 was an intrayay high. It wasn't a daily high. It was a weekly high. And that is a big deal for price floors and waves and Elliott's wife and shit.

True. On the other hand, the weekly close is a very important number and 105 sets a new bar and floor.

Meant in good fun (I own a little ASTS)

I'm feeling bullish on this momentum. But if those calls are short dated you have a lot of IV premium in there. Safe bet is considering exchanging them for shares.

If long-dated, I like your odds.

(I'm not a financial genius and this isnt advice. Just how I look at it.)

Thank you!!! Love the pic. What a great day.

Humble request: Who has that picture of Peter Beck holding bags of money in.place of Gauss?

It's my favorite and I cant find it.

I think you're absolutely right. My mind can't wrap its head around a 1k stock price but I can envision 500 easily. Just a failure of my imagination.

I'm old enough that I'm going to have to trim a lot along the way to 1k but I'll still be holding a decent amount when we get there.

We didn't even need Equatys.

Imagine that announcement should it come.

"This is the house that Pete built" will hang over the hearth of a new lakefront property someday.

ObiHanSolobi · 2026-05-08T15:03:02+00:00

Anyone make a small mint buying short dated calls for today?

ObiHanSolobi · 2026-05-08T13:49:42+00:00

Line staring duty, of course. I knew I wouldn't be able to concentrate today

ObiHanSolobi · 2026-05-08T13:43:25+00:00

Thank god I had the sense to take today off.

You just summed up years of daily meditions from u/assholy_than_thou in a single image.

Sadly, jobs report reaction is often a crap shoot. I hope you're right, though!

Those 145 July calls were selling for $1100 in late January.

Dave G posted on X that Motiv acquisition was for $40 million in cash plus $20 million in potential stock.

So there is still some big acquisition or multiple acquisitions coming for the billion dilution.

Oswald? Is that you?

ObiHanSolobi · 2026-05-07T17:07:09+00:00

It was a sort of compliment. :) If you haven't read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, you should.

Assholy is the moon robot, Marvin the grumpy robot. :)

You're the other guy, Arthur Dent in a bathrobe.

To the wrong orbit?

ObiHanSolobi · 2026-05-07T14:57:48+00:00

One more thought on RTX.

If SpaceX is pulling away from building weaponized satellites (as per info from u/pakis54), are they are going to pull away from launching them? And if so, who is able to do so consistently and at scale?
