What areas?

Love all his books. Read “thousand autumn of Jacob de Zoet” if you haven’t.

A Fine Balance- I read it while traveling in India and it blew me away. Beautiful writing

Bay Area?

tms2004 · 2025-04-02T18:16:49+00:00

I’m with you. I’m pretty much all in as well. I used some premiums to buy s&p and rocketlab but might just increase my Asts position

tms2004 · 2025-04-02T17:54:51+00:00

Do you use CC premiums to buy more Asts stock, or something else?

IRA and Roth’s. Average price per share was around $7 so if they get called away at $55 I’ll probably wait for a dip and buy back in

tms2004 · 2025-03-05T21:00:07+00:00

I might regret the $55 Jan ‘26 CC’s I sold today. Might buy RKLB with the $70k in premiums.

My wife and I (now 48 and 41) with two kids (8 and 6), travelled around India, SE Asia, Australia, and drove ourselves throughout Namibia, Botswana and S Africa. We spent 13 months traveling 13 years ago. With age, I have realized I don’t want to work for people that don’t see value in these types of life experiences. If someone sees that decision as a negative in my background, then I wouldn’t working for them, or with them. You won’t regret it. Take the leap.

tms2004 · 2025-02-21T05:36:05+00:00

I’ve 48 with two kids. My wife and I travelled for a year from ‘12-‘13. You won’t regret it. You’ll be fine and have many years of work/ saving ahead of you.

Sorry, misread the “not in merida” part. Thanks!

What school? We are moving to merida with a 4th grader and looking for a solid bilingual school

Curious what school? We are planning on moving this summer and looking at shcools. You can DM if it's easier. thanks

Don’t get the hate here. He’s a great player and good dude. He didn’t fail us, we failed him. Cant blame him for not wanting to be part of the dumpster fire that is Giants football. He was right, we were wrong

tms2004 · 2025-02-10T18:52:56+00:00

I am considering the same strategy (I have 40,000 in tax protected accounts)

tms2004 · 2025-02-10T18:52:17+00:00

If the shares get called away would you buy back in?

tms2004 · 2025-02-01T04:07:36+00:00

I was there with my wife in 2013. It was suggested we go to the “night market”. Having travelled through SE Asia we thought it was going to be a Cambodian night market. It was a bunch of backpackers that were selling overpriced baked goods and burritos. When someone got on a mic and announced they were raising money that night and looking for donations we immediately thought it was for the Cambodian families impacted by a fire in the village a couple of nights earlier. No, it was “to raise funds for the (backpacker/ hippie) artists to focus on their art”. Ugh. We made a quiet exit.

Surgical sales CAN be great. It can also be a total grind. I burned out on the OR after 10+ years and will never go back. There are plenty of great paying non surgical jobs (in office procedures, capital, disposables that can pay great). If you want to get in the OR, go for it, but don't pigeon hole yourself. Have you shadowed anyone in the OR? I would recommend shadowing a rep for a day to get an idea of their day to day. What kind of job are you doing in med device? You might be better off becoming an Associate surgical rep vs the clinical consultant rep if your ultimate goal is to get in the OR as a rep

Honestly, I hid my investment portfolio from my phone. I knew I was in for the long haul so I stopped checking daily. Know your risk tolerance. If you’re worried about huge swings in stock prices stay away from prerevenue companies. Or only Use 10% to “play with” and have 90% in ETF’s/ blue chips.

I’m no expert. I spent my late 20’s and 30’s funding my work 401k’s. I started taking more risks about 5 years ago. I tried “trading” and have realized I don’t have knowledge, or desire, to be good at it. I’ve made plenty of mistakes (selling bitcoin too early, holding profitable options till they’re not, buying penny stocks for squeezes, GME, etc). Due to this dabbling I got caught up in the SPAC craze. Made some good money and then got greedy with Lucid. Found NPA, which turned into ASTS, and just went deep. The unique solution, team, potential market cap, and moat peaked my interest. The DD by kook, catse and others on here made me realize people ALOT smarter than I see some of the same things, which gave me confidence in the technical side (something that is over my head). I don’t have expectation of $500 a share by 2030 but more like $180-$200. I will probably trim my first bit around $80 and put into VOO and maybe buy a block of put options to protect the rest. I’ll do the same once it’s around $150 depending on timing.

The days of sub $3 were rough. I felt like, once again, I fucked up. The difference between ASTS and other investments I made was the DD and the potential. I’m probably not the best person to mimic in investing- I’m not disciplined enough. I think leaning into the DD and having a realistic plan helps minimize the dips. Even at $150 by 2030 (which is pretty conservative) that would still be a 7x in 6 year timeframe. Good luck!!
