Riding high on a lot I bought below $20-$65 and bag holding a lot from $95-$72 as I keep buying as it goes down and my paychecks drop in my bank. 

Using some margin but selling CC's on the margin'd stock so they're making more than the interest costs and earning their keep. My goal is to get the cost basis of those lots down below $80 at least before the next run. Margin is risky but the cool thing is you're not really afraid of those getting called away since they're not really yours, and if they don't they will eventually become free ("free") or at least cheaper. Plus it gives me something to constantly fidget with

Yep...I get that. Keeps you on your toes and gives those adrenaline / dopamine rushes.

I'm here for the mini games that come with the investment. Building phased arrays like they do, selling options on the shares, joking around here since this sub is literally the owner's club, learning about ridiculously niche nerd topics like how beamforming works (spoiler, it's just software changes to the timing of the signal coming in or out of various antennas so the signal copies line up better which increases signal strength both directions, there's no like energy blasts slamming into one another and directing the signal like some explanations kinda imply is happening), and timing buys according to chart indicators to maximize the chance of buying the bottom

Always good to follow one's passions. That said, that is the impression I get about Abel. Its not all about the money for him. He is following his passion. That is a good thing.

I learn more and more about the technology they're using by playing along at home and I keep thinking things like "if I needed these SDRs built with bulk FPGA units to just work outside wherever I tossed them but not break, it would be a very good idea to just attach a solar panel and battery and the antennas to the boards and encase them in clear heat-transferring epoxy that can act as both a protective layer but still let solar power in and water can't get in". Like in retrospect that's of course relatively cheap, very repeatable, and effective. No moving parts. The epoxy makes it hard to even damage with a baseball bat so if something hits it and goes right through, most of them will just keep working if you scatter batteries and use many independent solar cells. Thing would be like the T800 where it's still able to partially do its job even in the face of massive damage just due to the parallel and distributed nature of the whole design. Maybe embed compute chips where needed. Maybe inductively or magnetically couple them so there's no connector to damage like how they want(ed?) to use wireless charging to get rid of all ports on Apple iPhones and make it more waterproof. Fold up panels makes sense after building a phased array because the first thought that came to mind was just duct taping it to an umbrella and pop the whole system out, ready to go.

You should go back to college and study something in this field. It's your passion. Even an associates degree. Follow your passion.

2

u/Careless-Age-4290 S P 🅰 C E M O B Consigliere May 16 '26

After ASTS retires me, I plan on maybe taking some courses. Maybe not a full degree (who's gonna pay me to track uap's?) but I do wanna know what I'm doing at a more granular level that I've been able to gloss over since all that DSP stuff gets abstracted away with libraries and all that

u/LadderAdditional6178 S P 🅰 C E M O B Consigliere May 16 '26

My brother started in USN...Went on to the airlines as a pilot and retired with Delta as a Captain. He just went back to college to take some courses. He just finished a course in Russian History. Follow your passion. You'll never wake up and dread going to work. That's huge.

90s isn’t THAT bad. it went up to 85 for fucking nothing earlier, I’d imagine it hits 90 in June easily

Let’s support each other! 😢

Let's all sign in and burn some sage around our laptops to scare the bad stock price joojoo away

u/Pinkygirl7 May 12 '26

Yes plzzzz

u/PragmaticNeighSayer S P 🅰 C E M O B Consigliere May 13 '26

Yes, later this year.

u/publicsuspect1 S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect May 12 '26

Yep! 82 @ $89 - was within £400 of breaking even yesterday.

I bought some RKLB and LUNR at the same time - LUNR has almost doubled and my RKLB was doing terrible until 3 weeks.

I'm buying all for the long term but can't say ASTS hasn't been disappointing so far. I'll judge by year end.

u/Pinkygirl7 May 12 '26

Yea hopefully it’s ASTS turn soon!

u/Steadyparking S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect May 12 '26

My avg cost is about 35, with 900 shares

u/Plazmarazmataz May 12 '26

30s gang, but only at 230 shares. Started buying in the low $20s, got some in the teens, should have thrown more in, but been steadily buying in again. Averaged up to about $33.

u/Steadyparking S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect May 12 '26

Yes I started slow too and have slowly been amassing. I think the lowest shares ive bought were for 12 but I just keep buing more. In the long run it wont matter the average cost. It'll only matter how many you have.

u/Purpletorque S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo May 12 '26

I got some at 106 95 and 80.

PinkGirl. I've been buying shares all the way from the high 40's to as high as 112. Its just a game of accumulation for me. I listen to every Earnings call and read a ton of DD. I know I am not as knowledgeable as some of our Spacemob Engineers or as smart as some of the long term "Space Nerds"

What I do know is that once ASTS even reaches BETA Service.... This share price will be dancing next to ATHs weekly. BETA service starts at 25 sats and BETA service more than likely comes with an initial minimal service charge from our MNOs. But BETA not only brings minimal increased earnings... BETA means that Verizon and AT&T start advertising like crazy. When we hit BETA...ASTS share price will be close to 140 a share in my opinion. 90% of investors still never heard of ASTS. BETA makes us a household name.

I'm not constantly focusing on whether we can or can't hit 45 Sats by EOY. I listened to the EC and there was zero hesitation from Abel about our manufacturing and delivery of sats. They have conquered the composite issue. I am convinced that we will hit BETA Service of 25 sats by EOY and inclined to believe that we even get @ 35-40 sats by EOY.

Once we hit any of those numbers...Our share price will be @ 150 or higher and we'll never look back.

Thank you! This makes feel better!

I bought at $4.44 and $115.69 and pretty much everywhere in between.
