Last year, I recommended 5 stocks that have achieved 178% gains YTD. I do think its the year of space, so these are my picks for 2026:
- $ASTS
- $RKLB
- $PL
- $QS
- $JOBY
Today's successful launch for @QPS_Inc has set a new annual launch record for Electron: 21 launches in one year with 100% mission success!
🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀💯
@Julianpetroulas i've been listening to your views and ideas for more than a year now and with all the respect, you should really change your perspective over $ASTS (it is the real leader for direct to cell and more) the next pltr or hood or nvda play is right in front of you @Julianpetroulas
@julianpetroulas $ASTS / $RKLB play is more attractive to me they are worth ~18-20b$ combine, asts is ahead on the direct to cell, i see them making a 3-4x in 2025
