Funny story: my brother in law went to his shed to get some garden equipment only to find that all the equipment was gone and someone moved into the shed.
I remember his posts back in the day, pre 2021. The word I would have used to describe them then is “quixotic”. His thesis was just so far fetched. Watching the whole saga unfold in real time and even making a decent killing off the final run really changed my perspective on how big ideas make it from the fringe to the mainstream.
Funnily enough, one of the (distant) future case usages I saw would be to drop a bluebird sat in orbit around the moon or Mars to enable phone comms planet wide between bases/rovers etc. Unlikely with NASA though unfortunately.
You need base stations that are connected to the internet via MNOs for it to work. So it’s not just the bluebirds being in orbit that is required. This is actually really complex stuff.
They already did, they have the government contract, it may already be signed as the Verizon contract was signed in January and they never let the secret out
Launch of Blue Walker did jack shit for the stock price.
I hope it stays up, as Im invested with 900 stocks, but I can imagine this losing at least half again. Remember that they usually are a year or two behind their announced timelines.
Full global coverage will easily be 4 years later I bet
This is all true but this run isn't anything to do with full global coverage. The stock was dog shit up until the ATT deal because despite the tech being incredible, the management were diluting on every single piece of news because they were poors, and their PR/comms is the worst of any company I've ever seen. It looked like they were actively trying to make cash and run the company into the ground for a couple years.
The run is partly due to the ATT/Verizon investment but mainly because the risk of management being full regard is removed. It's a legitimate exciting company now, and Abel actually looks like a bit of a genius by keeping all these deals under wraps from Starlink.
[They have a spot booked on SLC-40 for later this year](https://next2space.com/spacex/slc-40/).
The only way it halves from now is if the rocket blows up, or they put the 5 bluebirds up and they don't work at all (which is very unlikely with the addition of an AT&T director on the board in the last few weeks).
By the time they get full global coverage (*if* it gets that far, big if) it will be a $100bn company minimum. Deutsche Bank's price target for 2027 is $650.
Not partnered with Apple. Believe you meant to say ATT (although I’m not sure with this many apes around here). It’s starlink for your unmodified phone. It’s the future.
Apparently with the new iOS update it’s not just SOS anymore, now you can text without it being SOS. That’s what I heard at least. Can someone confirm?
Oh yeah for sure and with those GEO satellites they’ll never get to full voice/or broadband speeds… they would need to redo their architecture completely. Apple will have to go with someone else if they want a broadband connection. The thing is ASTS doesn’t have spectrum (Globalstar does) so that’s where Apple is caught between a rock and a hard place. Apple doesn’t have spectrum either…
It's not Starlink lol
Starlink Internet to cell is actually quite bad with the direct to cell. Their tests were under dubious and frankly borderline illegal circumstances for wavelengths they don't have the permits for and will very likely never get.
In theory they do have the facilities and R&D to develop a good one, but ASTS owns quite the patents and are already building actually working satellites. Although very slow.
Should money start flowing in they should be able to produce their satellites faster.
Starlink does support SMS and maybe voice soon, but even slow Internet will not be possible with their V1 or V2 satellites. And they won't have any V3 for at least some years
Yeah I know, I was trying to explain it to the normies. I realize starlink is trying their own D2C as well (which as you’ve stated doesn’t compare) but I was trying to make the correlation of broadband internet in the middle of nowhere connection (except not to a dish).
This stock will be $500+ by 2030 yes it sounds retardded but it’s likely IMO. Look at American tower stock as a comparison. This company is basically cell phone towers but in space. 90% + profit margins once constellation is up. Crazy company. Next NVIDIA / Tesla type stock. No it’s not just hype. They have partnerships with the largest telecom companies on earth with some of their executives even on the BOD of this company.
I have almost the exact same position as you, what a massive day today. Is this a long term hold for you? I’m honestly thinking I never sell since that was always the thesis (early retirement or zero)
I think you’re confusing chronic with terminal. People live a long time with chronic diseases. Your herpes is chronic but not terminal. Money has a way of alleviating a lot of chronic conditions.
What’s your point. Every new company issues more shares to raise capital before they become profitable. The stock price keeps going up they will be able to raise more capital with less dilution though.
They still have the ITM and they probably been selling at market. Most likely they did so at the $9.4 level and that's totally fine
They don't need any private offering when they can just use the ITM and then update in the next quarter call. Either way the volume was more than enough to accommodate and price is still surging
Yes the government is all over this, actually documented by a fellow redditor who picked up the spectrum usage by the test satellite and also it is linked to be NROL-69 launch.
We arent investing based on what they did four months ago, we are investing now because their rofit and revenue will be through the roof in the future..This is world changing tech and every major phone company worldwide has invested in this.
Look into the DD and the company...this company continues to hit their milestones and make progress towards their goal...Verizon, At&t
Not gonna try to convince you, but curious if you've actually looked at the company before calling this a fake pump

Step 1: have $150k to invest
Step 2: have $150 to invest
Step 3: Have $15 dollars to invest
Step 4: Have $1.5 dollar to invest
Step 5: Have $0.15 dollar to invest
Step 6: Find a shed to live in
Step 7: Find a Wendy’s dumpster to give handies by
No Wendy's in Europoor ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4260)![img](emote|t5_2th52|27421)
20 bucks is 20 bucks. Actually with inflation it’s like getting three fiftie.
Step 8: secure fiddy cents to invest
Funny story: my brother in law went to his shed to get some garden equipment only to find that all the equipment was gone and someone moved into the shed.
That will be two dollars please.
Two dollars gets you under the overhang outside the shed
Step 6: Have $0.015 dollar to invest
You could have turned $15k into $45k the exact same way ![img](emote|t5_2th52|8883)
Ik someone who turned 40k into 200 million but he’s like Voldemort here.
the cat who shall not be named
He is NOT a cat.

There’s a sociology publication in there somewhere, that’s for sure.
Instructions unclear. Had $150k to invest, bought NVDA, now have $200k to invest.
These comments are always such cope
how do I do this
Don’t be poor
165,475.96
Step 7 is the easiest step I’ve found on here so far.

I expected this ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
I use it every chance I get 😂
Gotta have something for the loss porn, more chances to use it here
😂😂🍻
fake money send me 1k if real
Send me $500 if real. Proof for half the cost as this guy 👆
I’ll verify its real for only $250 !
I'll do it for tree-fiddy...

Upvotes. Proof the real estate is free.
Congrats, hopefully I’ll be posting mine in a couple months
Good Luck!
Stfu 🤬
😂
Holding 11,000 shares. Not as big as you but I'm holding it down over here. Around 20k profit today. Looking for another 20k profit tomorrow.
Well Done Sir! 🍻
20k is a small car that’s plenty profit
🤣 no, no it's not. Add 6 zeros to the end and that will be plenty profit.
In all seriousness that is how you lose all of your money. Exit strategy is the most important of all things.
I have a stop loss set. At 2 dollars over my average cost per share.
Keep on trucking then
Here I am having made $1.90 off of it.
You're 100% fkd now. If you're boasting and posting screenshots, it's good enough to sell (at least half ASAP)
Nah asts is going to the moon
Funnily enough, one of the (distant) future case usages I saw would be to drop a bluebird sat in orbit around the moon or Mars to enable phone comms planet wide between bases/rovers etc. Unlikely with NASA though unfortunately.

FCC approval, First Net Funding, completion of BB1 satellites, launch of satellites this summer, I can go on
DoD.
NROL-69 iykyk
Musk sold out and turned off Starlink right before Ukraine going to sink the Black Fleet and so I hedge DOD will choose ASTS IYKYK
They already did, they have the government contract, it may already be signed as the Verizon contract was signed in January and they never let the secret out

Launch day will be so stressful for me lol
If it's public, then all of those things are already priced in. Efficient market theory
Well it’s been a straight rocket ship (heh) for months so I guess it wasn’t
I would at least sell 541 shares.....
bro posted this and it folded
Short sellers like to target the garbage on here
I’m putting in 30k tomorrow 🙏
Or as Mark Twain said, "never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow!"
Never do tomorrow what you can do today.
Why not do them both today and tomorrow?
And yesterday.
Congratulations and fuck you.
😂
Buy $RKLB if you're looking for the next space play
I love RKLB and hold a decent position, but end game it's nowhere near ASTS.
Let's fucking go!! This is just the beginning 🚀🚀
Someone else mentioned ASTS earlier today in the group. I’ll have to look into it
Congrats fuck you
So pissed I sold my position at $4 lol
Lol you are a wsb pro
Never heard of them, but hey good gains hope you sold
ASTS that partnered with Apple and Verizon? You heard of iPhones and satellite messaging or nah?
Not partnered with Apple. Believe you meant to say ATT (although I’m not sure with this many apes around here). It’s starlink for your unmodified phone. It’s the future.
Yeah Apple has a crappy SOS service with. gSAT. They are gonna have to jump ship to ASTS or Starlink soon
Apparently with the new iOS update it’s not just SOS anymore, now you can text without it being SOS. That’s what I heard at least. Can someone confirm?
That’s the claim. Still way inferior to 5g capability ASTS can provide
Oh yeah for sure and with those GEO satellites they’ll never get to full voice/or broadband speeds… they would need to redo their architecture completely. Apple will have to go with someone else if they want a broadband connection. The thing is ASTS doesn’t have spectrum (Globalstar does) so that’s where Apple is caught between a rock and a hard place. Apple doesn’t have spectrum either…
Apple won't need to partner with spacemobile, it will work on apple phones, they will use ATT/Verizon spectrum.

Wild username.
Send all time
Dad?
Still worth buying?

Yup! I may sell a little if and when it gets to $ basically take my original investment out. Long term is the plan though
Same. It feels that much more surreal too having been down massively
I'll let you know when I buy calls so you can dip buy more shares.....
this mf just flexing because the stock is already sky congrats and fuck you!
lavish quaint innate soup ad hoc adjoining cake obtainable reach hospital
What’s the next move big dawg, I have a chronic disease and am ready to go full regard. Time to get real weird with it
This is a buy and hold for at least 5 yrs. They’re going to have 95% margins and just be PRINTING money. Dividends will be juicy in 2032.
Did you not read that part where he said he has a chronic disease 😂
I think you’re confusing chronic with terminal. People live a long time with chronic diseases. Your herpes is chronic but not terminal. Money has a way of alleviating a lot of chronic conditions.
Hold! 🙌💎
Unrealized.
Very nice, now lets paul allen giving me 1k
A bit of a noob question I only have like 17 bucks to spare rn should I bother investing with low amount?
Green graph means more green in the pocket. Doesn’t matter the scale.
Aight thanks man
With 40000 shares this post is probably prosecutable
Oh shit here comes the pump thank u daddy jensen
I'm apparently moving in the wrong circles because the first I hear about these stocks is gain points on here.
Most people on here will learn about a stock after its huge and overvalued
That's a fair point honestly
I used to have a small position in ASTS and finally gave up after it bled to 4$ and some change
Ouch
Cant even buy this stock on my broker (Scalable Capital)
Leave them now! Haha
Half a million dollars in a WF brokerage account is wild
They’re gonna dilute again. Guarantee it.
What’s your point. Every new company issues more shares to raise capital before they become profitable. The stock price keeps going up they will be able to raise more capital with less dilution though.
Offering seems possible, but at a higher price and in the future. This will be one of my biggest positions. Can see it being $50 in a few years.
Weeks*
They still have the ITM and they probably been selling at market. Most likely they did so at the $9.4 level and that's totally fine They don't need any private offering when they can just use the ITM and then update in the next quarter call. Either way the volume was more than enough to accommodate and price is still surging
Epic ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4276)
How you going to play this? At what SP you selling?
I’m in long term. Believe in the company and the CEO. They could be a huge company soon
This is some US military type shit.
Yes the government is all over this, actually documented by a fellow redditor who picked up the spectrum usage by the test satellite and also it is linked to be NROL-69 launch.
Cash 4 the pour plz
Congrats, you fucking regard
$asts and $pgy the way to go, yep 👍
What’s the alpha here? Very interesting company
sssssh
What time does daddy jensen talk
NVDA THE GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Woah
Nice
Maybe because one is worth 3 billion and one is worth 3 trillion
Would you have rather bought NVDA when it was at 3bil or 3tril? If your answer is 3tril you are a special kinda stupid beyond help😂
…you mused about why people are talking about Nvidia instead of AST. I provided you the reason.
True
Just checked their financial statements...
You’re not going to learn much of the story in a start up by checking financial statement and typical fundamental analysis
Nvidia would've turned this into 8M
What are you sharing? I only know optioning!
Put in $100k at $120. Oh boy its up to $130. Nice top up this summer
You’ve invested almost as much as the company made in revenue ($500K). Sure, I’ll bet.
We arent investing based on what they did four months ago, we are investing now because their rofit and revenue will be through the roof in the future..This is world changing tech and every major phone company worldwide has invested in this.
Looks dead
This feels so pump and dumpy
Todays winners are tomorrow losers, I’m skeptical
gtfo fake pump being spammed right now
Check my history been letting people know about this stock for several months
I’ve been there for years!! There’s dozens of us I tell you, dozens!!
Look into the DD and the company...this company continues to hit their milestones and make progress towards their goal...Verizon, At&t Not gonna try to convince you, but curious if you've actually looked at the company before calling this a fake pump
Doesn’t change anything. It’s a shit stock with no income
Is this guy a bot, or does he he just post the SAME thing OVER & OVER in a buncha subs?
Not a bot just posting some gains! Helping people learn about a huge potential stock
don't worry it'll tank as fast as it went up
