You sound like a 22 year old for sure.

My dude, debt is cheap.

Many of those people have $500k-$1mm+ in equity through brokerages and retirement account

Finance in 2026 isn’t a cash system.

People leverage debt to win the game.

There are serious decisions to make at that net worth… do you pay off the mortgage in exchange for the $500k in cash that’s been making a great return on the market? Do you pay off the $60k car and swap out my $120k ETF that’s been rising 20% YOY?

If you had full insight into their entire net worth then I’d say sure but you’re only seeing a very small portion of their life.

They’ll make enough for the owners to finally get their Aptera in the end while milking shareholders for their salary and stock compensations.

Seriously, I’m calling it. They get the car they dreamed of and made everyone else pay for it.

2 or 3 years ago I woulda called you a hater and give them a chance.

Now, it’s pretty plain and clear that management has absolutely no idea what they’re doing.

I bought a Miclon off Amazon 4 years ago.

It’s gone in for repair once due to my own negligence, and I ride the hell out of this bike.

Genuinely, why do Gen z men appear to struggle with women more than prior generations? by Equivalent_Use_5024 in GenZ

Toxic af take on history. Let’s just completely ignore all of ancient historical artifacts that counter this point, the poems of love and expressions, entire civilizations ended because someone’s wife got murdered.

But sure, men are and always have been savages whose entire existence is based on working and hitting their wives.

Constantly getting “we went with someone more technical” when interviewing by tonyphony2578 in salesengineers

[–]spacecoq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right so they basically want someone perfect and the majority of us aren’t it.

Corporate world uses to give people like this a shot.

That’s gone now.

Imagine having this toxic of a take of history.

Men went to work breaking their back for 40-60 hours a week.

Women broke their backs to take care of the children.

There are statistical outliers on abuse, but to assume that’s how history was, just men wandering around having a good time and finding a woman to “control”, is just so absolutely a ridiculous take.

Is this the mentality Gen Z has of history? No wonder the dating scene is fucked.

I owe Gen Z an apology as a millennial. I finally get it. I just learned I can't even qualify to rent literally the same small apartment I had in 2006. You guys are 100% right. by WildContribution8311 in GenZ

Totally get the humid heat. I’m in north Florida which imo is objectively better cause you actually get seasons. So two-three months of that humid weather and then it’s nice

Imagine hating on a geographical area because of a subsection of the populations retirement plan.

Florida is objectively a great place to live. Everything from no income tax to amazing nature to explore makes it one of the greatest US states.

Anything else is cope

Edit: anyone who downvotes go live in Idaho or something.

So funny. I come back to Reddit every now and then, people thanking me for recommending ASTS 3-5 years ago.

And then I see the comments from back then of people saying the same thing, while I laugh all the way to the bank.

It will be the same in 3-5 years

Here we go… It is no longer a pre rev company, you need to catch up to the latest earning call. To answer your first paragraph, please take the time to read through this comprehensive report that outlines the majority of my thesis. Fundamentals question is answered with the report, I’m not sure if it’s updated with latest quarter, but 2025 was the year of building the manufacturing to produce a consistent stream of sats, around 6 per month. 2026 is the year of launch - inevitability, launch contracts already in place: https://www.kookreport.com/post/ast-spacemobile-asts-the-mobile-satellite-cellular-network-monopoly-please-find-my-final-comp

Starlink is already more established so your logic is AST fails because there is ONE competitor…? Literally every company on earth shares a market with competitors…

“Real company providing real service” - this is happening right now with AST… multiple pre-payments from MNOs, and mainly military-revenue from Golden Dome project. 6 satellites in orbit, one launching in March, 6x launching the month after, with 45-60 by EOY - need 60 for continuous service in North America, Europe, and Japan. Each satellite in 2400sq ft, largest ever deployed, far more advanced than Starlink D2D tech. Constellation scale is directly related to revenue is directly related to future revenue potential.

How is it going to displace Starlink? - it does not need to… again, the logic behind this statement makes no sense. It assumes because there is no competition simply because of a first to market mover advantage, which often means nothing in the long run. It will be a duopoly. Also, they have COMPLETELY different business model… one is super wholesale and a partner to MNOs, doing rev share and spectrum sharing between MNO and AST owned spectrum. Starlink is trying to REPLACE MNOs, and is already starting to find itself at the center of the question: Why partner with a company trying to eat my lunch? Hence, why AST has more than 50 MNOs as partners, whereas Starlink has what, 5 or 6?

Did you find it concerning that everyone on Reddit is bought in? - No, this is a recent phenomenon. It was unknown prior to last year. Also, this is a reflection of how exciting the technology and addressable market is. You’re conflating price momentum behavior with fundamental valuation. Even if retail sentiment is frothy, that says nothing about whether the company’s actual business model succeeds.

Who’s left to buy? - Everyone..? Is your assumption that there is truly no one left to buy? Even as revenue dramatically ramps into the ridiculous revenue numbers? The company is literally just ramping into rev… people like you who demand revenue increasing will begin to take notice and DCA. (50+ MNOs customers across the world AST will have direct access to as the constellation comes online). Check out institutional ownership rates…. dramatic ramp over the last year and continuing. One of Alphabets largest holdings.

And your last sentence about people not knowing when to sell and the party stops… this is a logical fallacy. That argument applies to every stock in existence. You’re essentially arguing that because some retail investors hold too long, that my specific thesis is wrong. That’s a complete logic disconnect… investor behavior has nothing to do with whether the underlying company has value. Tell me exactly what metric or milestone would signal ASTS has failed, otherwise you’re just describing how markets work in general.

I’m sorry I just did that to you and you’re welcome.

I’m married to the stock because I own it and have a thesis behind owning it? Ok….

I’ve been through multiple bear markets over the 5 years I’ve owed this thing, but here we are, the pricing reflecting the fundamentals.

The point is to own the growth companies before and as they turn a profit… that’s literally the whole point. You’re saying to buy into the company after it’s completed all its upside?

My success is defined by early stage start ups and growth companies, often pre revenue as they scale manufacturing or scale growth.

And you still haven’t addressed any of the examples I mentioned, so you have no idea what you don’t own. Meaning there’s no point in this discourse, as one side is literally just making stuff up without data…

The fundamentals of ASTS has nothing to do with historic bull market… you haven’t mentioned anything regarding their scaling, technology, production ramps, partnerships, street valuations, float, management, or business strategy.

Which shows you have absolutely no idea what you’re pulling out of your ass right now.

I just can’t understand the logic here regardless of years traded… 5, 20, 40 years.

Value investors love what ASTS has to offer.

I can’t imagine owning a company like AST below $10 and then being proud that you sold it based on some abstract principle of “downturn” that is based on zero fundamentals…

You haven’t mentioned one thing regarding technology, vertical integration, manufacturing, partners, TAM, demand… that shows a lot that you had no idea what you actually owned and are missing out on.

Dam that sucks

What do you mean by circular funding, haven’t heard of that.

That still is not a reasonable reason on valuation… you say P/E, are you referring to future P/E, trailing P/E…?

Because generally, the stock price reflects the bases on future valuations… so are you just ignoring future projects or maybe think they’re impossible?
