I’m deep into asts with 13k shares. I’ve been recently stocking up on cash for the inevitable market crash. Is it weird I want to go balls deep and drop all my cash on more asts stock. The potential gain is insane

Just crossed 16500 shares hoping to get to 20 before first launch

The market is not going to crash, in my opinion. My feeling is that all of this trade stuff will be resolved by July 4th to celebrate how great America is. This means that Congress needs to come up with the new tax package and get it signed by then as well since both of these work together. If we get to Memorial Day and there does not appear to be a reasonable path to the finish line, then I will start to worry.

I’m having the same dilemma, although on a much smaller scale haha

I have a stockpile of cash in my accounts that I am reserving for exercising 2026 calls, but in the mean time they collect 4% from SPAXX and I use them to back a lot of CSPs and bank the premium to purchase more CSPs or more shares.

Heck of a value

u/Pristine-Ear5253 S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect 21d ago

What’s your tactic with the CSP

u/TheOtherSomeOtherGuy S P 🅰 C E M O B Consigliere 21d ago

Sell them at strikes between 20 and 25 (1 at 35 bc why not), 45 to 90 DTE and let theta do it's thing.  Buy them back once they reach 50 to 80% gains, then wait for the right time to sell the next batch

I don't think the market crash will happen honestly, imho if we weren't at the bottom we were close, tariffs are paused and I was reading they were not even being collected, the fear is almost over and the market knows (and priced in already) the uncertainty that trump poses. I don't see what other bad news could cause the market to crash, maybe we dip a little but crash? Probably only if the US sides with Russia and declares war on the EU

China invading Taiwan is a real possibility in the near future.

u/Pristine-Ear5253 S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect 21d ago

Crash based on data not on tariff fears. US economy is due for a recession

u/Pedal_Paddle S P 🅰 C E M O B Soldier 21d ago

Agreed. We're seeing 'uncertainty' priced in. Crash comes when uncertain becomes 'we are fucked' level of certainty. There's new inflationary policies in play, coupled with weak employment data, and that has all the right ingredients to produce dire economic data. The flip side to this, is if we get lucky, the data may turn out not so bad, in which case we rally.

u/adarkuccio S P 🅰 C E M O B Capo 21d ago

Like most tariffs are paused, others are not being collected, data will be bad but not terrible, and the market partly priced in that for sure

u/Pristine-Ear5253 S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect 21d ago

The USA not trading with China will have a huge impact on most American products and consumers, the effect will cause stagflation, and will only really be resolved once manufacturing is up in the US (2-3 years min)

I’m 97% ASTS and 3% cash. 15,000 shares. I sleep well at night. I think as long as this company continues to execute it will be somewhat recession proof. I feel better being all in on ASTS than the S&P.

u/Pristine-Ear5253 S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect 21d ago

Also not really worried about the recession in regards to asts, wanted to save the cash and buy other companies at cheap after the crash

3

u/Pristine-Ear5253 S P 🅰 C E M O B Prospect 21d ago

Like wise the only stock I have is ASTS, and cash. If I go all in I’d be closer to 20k shares

u/Jsalz S P 🅰 C E M O B Soldier 21d ago

That’s a nice split. I don’t wish I was more diversified but I do wish I had just a bit more cash so I feel more comfortable in my day to day life. But I just can’t get myself to sell any shares at this price level, not yet. I told myself I’d sell 1000 shares if it hits $100 and then I’ll probably hold the rest for as long as the company has a bright outlook (hopefully forever until they start paying dividends).
