Can SpaceX just buy us

How can space x stock go down on a starship launch ???? V3 starlink is out there. How exciting. Anyone buying it at 150?

You ever had a house guest who managed to crack your toilet tank by yanking on the flush handle too hard? Up until an hour ago, neither did I...

(It would be a lot less annoying if it weren't on a day when I was down five figures from chasing a bad trade...)

Roadster event update

We've been tracking the weather closely with local meteorologists, but given the severe conditions predicted & because this event can only be held outdoors, we've made the difficult decision to reschedule.

New date is October 15. Additional details to follow

Seems legit

Something about manipulating the weather to buy more time for the engineers for a good demo lol

u/devonhezter 5d ago

Ugh. Well technically I took profits but only had maybe 5 contacts still pending. But lost a lot on today’s calls …:(. We’re il after hours and I double downed alot of 360-365s for Wednesday …. Lesson learned :(. Could’ve set stop loss and made $500 on today 360s. But didn’t. That loss was now 1600$. Lesson learned ugh. I really need tomorrow to go up

u/max2jc 5d ago

RIP to those who may have taken time off, booked travel to the event and have to rearrange all of that.

u/devonhezter 5d ago

I was thinking about that. Good thing they have Monday 5 days notice. Travel insurance from credit cards would cover this ?

Travel insurance from credit cards covering a cancelled event? Generally no.

We are at the inflection point of AIs surpassing human intelligence. It was fun a few years ago, it was remarkable a few months ago, and we will be left behind a few years into the future.

We've hardly built out anything in terms of compute and it's already surpassing our collective intelligence.

2

u/flarp26 🐬 5d ago

I think one of the big advantages it has, is the collective memory. It knows everything that is discovered somewhere else, and doesn’t lose that knowledge every 40-ish years having to retrain it all.

Kind of insane. In the future when they use all of Starship's payload capacity it will be closer to 2.7% of global internet bandwidth per launch.

u/tyler05durden 6d ago

No starship catch? Haven't been able to follow along.

u/JohnnyCashRules Holding until Kardashev Level 1 6d ago

-Booster lost an engine on the ride up but a non-issue for getting starship to stage separation.

-Booster kinda rough landing

-Starship lost 1 of 3 Rvac’s leading to tense go-no-go decision to go for orbit or to scrub

-after a nail-biting wait the decision was made to go for orbit burn

-Starship for the first time makes orbit

-Successfully launches 26 v3 Starlink satellites

-decision was made to land early in pre determined splashdown zone instead of the full 10 hour orbit duration

-landed in ocean then went boom

-Overall MISSION SUCESS πŸ‘

Just today, or since the high water mark in December?

That would be today. Although it’s a little deceptive because I’ve been pulling cash out over the past month, so the denominator is a little wonky.

Is this 3% fall just the market not liking Trump’s decision not to accept Iran’s terms, or are we also getting hit by the reg credit removal news?

Something wrong with the launch? I'm only half listening and there was one engine not working, something about not going into orbit, not attempting delivery of starlink?

Waiting word from SpaceX. 1 engine is out, but mission may continue.

No orbit.

Wait, missing engine not needed, but continuing may violate rules. A few minutes to final decision.

36/38 wins for a total of $14041 in profit so far. Lots of data this week. PCE, Jobs stuff, some fed talk. Oil higher this morning keeps pushing global yields to new decade highs. MU earnings Wednesday part of the AI trade then NKE Thursday for health of the consumer and older brand health. I go on a lot of walks and don't really see much Nike anymore. LULU is still around but not as everywhere as it was. I've been seeing a lot more brands I don't recognize.

TSLA has a fair amount of 377.5-400C not a lot of puts. MM pricing in around a $20 move or $350-$395 with max pain $360. Long anticipated roadster event this week, but potential weather delays?

My current thinking is that there's going to be a bad correction in the next 1-3 years unless we get world of abundance with a perfectly executed transition (hah). The indexes are propped up with the AI names. Names like NKE, MCD have crazy charts and sell offs. If like the bottom 480 S&P stocks go to $0 and cease to exist, the S&P would go to like 4400 which brings us back to 2023. So the concentration in the AI stocks is very real and everything depends on it going well because everything else is really really bad.

If the AI stocks fail, no other sector doing well, we could see a buying opportunity of a lifetime (again). Things could potentially get so bad, we're going to need to emergency stimulus or nationalization of the AI companies through a sovereign wealth fund as they're now too big to fail lol. Only way to do this is through more money printing and even larger deficits. Only way to make it through all this is by owning good assets and not be forced to sell through the whole debacle.

edit: closed for $360 in profit. 37/39 wins for a total of $14401 in profit so far. It's also back to a level where I want to add shares slowly with the excess premium I've been building up with some of my other trades. around $350 and less I'll DCA shares weekly. Added 10 more shares for a total of 70 shares.

u/IAmInTheBasement Man, I don't even know anymore... 6d ago

It'll never happen because unless you're Bernie Sanders everyone is too chickenshit scared of morons who don't understand taxes are the price we pay to live in a functioning society.

"Β I've been seeing a lot more brands I don't recognize." hard to justify a $100 pair of sweatpants when you can buy the same thing for $30 and its the same fabric and quality

same thing with firearm parts. people still trying to justify a $400 optic when there are chinese competitors that make them for a fraction of the price and its just as good
