The space economy will grow 10x minimum by 2030. I’m here to break down the stocks, trends, and opportunities as humanity becomes a multi-planetary species.
Follow along for market commentary and deep dives.
It's hard to fully appreciate the size of $ASTS satellites. They are massive solar and communications arrays designed to process significant amounts of data with very low latency.

5️⃣ — Putting it all together
Right now the setup looks like:
• shorts still crowded
• institutions building
• pullbacks staying controlled
• no retail mania
And when a stock shows strength on a weak market day, that’s usually a signal worth paying attention to. Today was evidence of that.
Cheers to all $ASTS holders!
$HOOD - Robinhood has been rolling out some new data views.
They’re actually useful for understanding what’s happening with $ASTS.
Here is how I’m reading each image 👇
1️⃣ — Short interest vs price
Short interest is still around 16–17% of the float.
Key takeaway:
• price is moving higher
• shorts haven’t really left
If this rally were driven purely by short covering, short interest would be dropping fast. It isn’t.
That means pressure is still there ⚡
4️⃣ — Insider activity
Yes — insiders have sold shares.
That’s normal at higher prices. What matters more is that price keeps pushing higher despite that supply.
Demand is still strong.
3️⃣ — Hedge fund flow
This is the most interesting one to me.
Zoomed out:
• hedge funds have been adding over time
• no major selling into strength
• price moves higher in steps, not spikes
Funds don’t chase hype. They build positions slowly. This looks deliberate.
2️⃣ — Retail (Robinhood) flow
Retail behavior looks pretty calm.
You can see:
• selling on down days
• buying on strength
• no big FOMO
That’s important because major tops usually come with aggressive retail chasing. This doesn’t look like that.
$JOBY: Almost no one outside of fintwit or the investing bubble has any real idea what’s coming with eVTOL (flying cars).
It’s actually wild.
I was in Dubai and met a group of ~10 people who live there, in a city where three vertiports are literally under construction and commercial launch is slated for next year, and not a single one of them had ever heard of Joby. Not one. Same story across almost my entire friend group in the U.S. Smart people. Plugged in. Zero awareness.
This feels exactly like early ChatGPT.
Everyone thinks “this is niche,” “this is far off,” “I’ll pay attention later.” Meanwhile, the infrastructure is being built, regulators are aligned, aircrafts are certified, and launch partners are locked in.
Adoption doesn’t happen linearly.
It happens slowly… then suddenly… then all at once.
Next year the floodgates start opening in the U.S., UAE, and Japan. Once people see these things flying daily, the narrative flips overnight. Media scrambles. Retail wakes up. Institutions chase.
By the time it’s obvious, it won’t be cheap. And Joby will be the only way to play it.
