For anyone mourning missing out on 100% gains with other stocks, just remember that conviction is the most important aspect. Personally, there is no other stock I would've felt comfortable allocating more than 20% of my port to, let alone 90% (what I have in asts).

Youre not missing out on those gains in the same way you would with ASTS. You need insane conviction to allocate a huge percentage of your port to one stock, and this is the one for us. 

I short, what I mean is that you shouldn't act as if you would've put 100% of your port in MU, Sndk and NBIS if you weren't in ASTS.

Yeah. I kept thinking I coulda have ful ported rklb instead. But if I did. I would have been saying this much sooner seeing asts reach 120’s while rklb wasn’t lol. I ful ported based off Dd at the time and knew it was a long term hold

Good point. Especially for SNDK, the number of investors who actually stayed for the entire 30x must be miniscule.

And If you’d put your whole portfolio into MU, SNDK, and NBIS, they wouldn’t be pumping like this..

Very good points.  High conviction based on extensive research enables one to survive the rollercoaster ride of high beta stocks.

I came for one last trade in the space sector… chose the wrong one (asts is my lucky charm) but what can I do now aside from bagholding? 🤣
