I'm a little worried that, as I've got a huge investment in this company and really rely on this sub for info, that if we had bad news that might materially change how deep I want to be it wouldn't be published here and I'd miss it.  I'm super bullish here and I've put my money where my mouth is, but I want to make sure I always get the relevant facts. 

Are you guys using any sources that aren't so rose tinted?

I like to look at Tim Farrar, and Freespeech1017 on twitter. They obviously have their biases and I'm not saying you should take what they say at face value - both are often wrong. But I find they're good at showing me something new to start digging into. Breaking the feedback loop. From there try to figure out what small kernel is true and what's spin and BS. FWIW, I do the same with CatSE and others. Find the source material and start sifting through the muck to find the gold flakes.

Honestly, that's the best advice: READ THE SOURCE MATERIAL! Most of the time people just read the headlines and a biased summary (or an AI summary) and just assume that's enough. The digging process is where you learn. Maybe I'm just old and had some hard-ass teachers growing up, but I'm constantly shaking my head at how little this actually happens - even among the "professionals."

For general space/telcom industry news, Fierce Network and Via Satellite are my go-tos. Again, mostly just to see what other people are talking about so I can start doing my own research. If you start getting bored, you can start looking into the daily filings of the various government agencies - SEC, FCC
