@TacticzH I never trim, I sell if the thesis breaks but this one is not broken imo. I’m lucky my other picks also went up, so I’m not too overly allocated to $PL.
@Jkenn850 I own $PL, $RKLB and Filtronic
Isn’t a company supposed to go down sometimes? $PL only going up at the moment, up 1,150% on my initial return already. https://t.co/NdQxQFZCwr
Happy to be included in such lists. I don’t make a lot of calls but with an average return of 87%, those often hit.
Even more pleasing to see that I’m the only one out of the pack with a unique combination of companies. Companies like $PL and Filtronic are easily forgotten.
It represents everything I try to do with this account.
Thanks for the inclusion Buzzberg.
@FutureIsTesla I don’t think this will happen with $PL tbh. The positive free cash flow can’t be ignored in this theme.
@jrouldz $PL also has a good environmental mission
I’ve now reached +1,000% in profits from $PL. never sold a single share and not planning to.
I see more investors looking for the next Planet Labs instead of investing in the company. I get that, it is counter-intuitive to buy a stock that went up +1,000% in a year. But looking for the next Planet Labs is being happy with less quality at a similar P/S valuation.
Planet is the only company who maps the entire world every single day. The have done this for almost 9 years now.
Why are they surging now, when they do this for 9 years already you think?
Simple: AI
All those pictures all those data is just too much for a human to get meaningful information from. But AI is wonderful at those things, recognising patterns and answering questions based on the data.
Why buying Planet and not competitors who did not surge this much?
First of all, there is still no other company who maps the entire world every single day. Let alone since 2017. The data you buy from these companies is just less interesting for AI to dig into.
Planet has build this all out without competition. If you want a new competitor now to do the same, they don’t have to do what Planet has done, they have to do it better. You have to compete with a trusted partner in the business for some years already.
Planet is the pure play space company with a positive cash flow. In times where interest rates are high, this is underestimated. Where you see other companies struggle with dilution, Planet can keep investing without the necessity to dillute shareholders or to rent at high rates.
So if you want to invest in competitors, don’t just look at the lower market cap. Look at the P/S valuation for example. It should be way lower than Planet to be interesting in my opinion. If not, just invest in the best thing there is in the market right now: $PL.
$FTC finishes on a new ath today, up another 10%. The trend is clear. Almost 100% return within the first month of buying.
With SpaceX IPO lurking, I expect the bullish space trend to continue. $RKLB just posted very bullish earnings, other space names like $PL still have to report.
Space will continue to dominate the charts.
Not financial advice, always do your own research
It's really not that difficult to post things on X. Every few days it's the same drama, so you can just retweet and hope one day investors will understand.
Lately, the volatility on $OUST has been crazy though. This happens once retail investors step in and the stock gets popular on social media. Instead of institutions stacking gradually, you now have day traders, swing traders, paper hands... controlling the trading algorithms.
It's not worrying for long-term investors as the long-term trend stays clear.
I honestly thought this would happen with $PL. But they seem to be steady as a rock. Apparently, retail investors are looking for the next Planet Labs. Imagine what would happen if they realize that Planet is here to stay and there is no next Planet Labs.
I see a lot of people completely misinterpreting this graph, as absolute numbers like this basically say nothing on their own.
First of all there is a difference between backlog and orders on hand (ooh). While American companies only need to report the backlog, the ooh tells much more. Your backlog basically has no timeframe, while your ooh only starts when you receive the purchase order.
If you sign a 10-year frame agreement, you can put all these orders in backlog. But the customer will place several different purchase orders within this frame agreement, so your ooh will be way smaller and on a shorter timeframe.
You can have a $1 billion backlog over 10-years with only 5% in ooh but also a $200 million backlog over 1-year with 95% in ooh.
Secondly, I saw some people putting the backlog against the market cap to see which is the best investment. Even with the ooh, this would be completely useless without considering the margins.
The SaaS model of $PL has way higher margins than $FLY for example. A lower backlog or ooh can result in higher free cash flow.
Lastly, backlog is not always a positive thing. It all depends on the predictability of your product. In a production environment a backlog can mean a lot of delays and unhappy customers.
A subscription on the other hand is very predictable and the backlog will always be converted into revenues.
So, be careful with taking conclusions out of numbers without knowing any context.
@TheBigBerbowski I’m a big fan of Will Marshall of $PL. What do you mean exactly with similar profile?
$PL surging to a 52-week high. Wedbush's Dan Ives raised his price target from $40 to $50 while maintaining an Outperform rating.
Planet is surfing on an excellent $RKLB quarter and some new contracts.
Planet announced a 7-figure, 2-year deal with the Czech government for AI-powered agriculture monitoring across 25,000 farms.
They also released first-light imagery from its latest Pelican satellite launch including imagery from Sweden's first sovereign military satellite.
I have some new followers asking about my porftolio. I always give a monthly update on my portfolio but as I had the question a lot last week, I share it again.
I have 15% cash but I left it out of the portfolio here:
1. $PL - 16% (average cost: $4 -> +876%)
2. $RKLB - 10.1% (average cost: $20 -> +427%)
3. $FLNC - 7.9% (average cost: $17.53 -> +37.82%)
4. $PLTR - 7.8% (average cost: $30.6 -> +429%)
5. $IREN - 6.7% (average cost: $42.12 -> +45.3%)
6. $ASM.AS - 6.5% (average cost: €279 -> +215%)
7. SK Hynix - 6.3% (average cost: €487 -> +118.7%)
8. $GOOGL - 6.3% (average cost: $132 -> +200.7%)
9. $FTC - 6.0% (average cost: £2.33 -> +63.09%)
10. $AMPX - 5.9% (average cost: $10.43 -> +60.11%)
11. $MVRL - 5.6% (average cost: $88.66 -> +91.70%)
12. $OUST - 5.3% (average cost: $19.06 -> +31.43%)
13. $WOLF - 4.8% (average cost: $36 -> +29.44%)
14. $HIMS - 4.7% (average cost: $37.6 -> -24.81%)
Feel free to ask some questions about the portfolio. I can also make a thread about my investment thesis of these stocks.
$PL - still my favourite company 👏🏼
@pinetree_cap I see $PL as one of the safest investments in the space industry. They have a positive free cash flow and positive EBITDA (in some quarters). Their technology works perfectly together with SpaceX and they are backed by $GOOGL.
It’s not your multibagger any more but they will still easily beat the market in the upcoming years imo.
Mission completed for $PL and SpaceX.
The connection with Sweden?
In early 2026, Planet Labs secured a multi-year, nine-figure agreement with the Swedish Armed Forces.
Instead of just buying data subscriptions like traditional customers, Sweden will actually own a dedicated suite of Planet's advanced satellites. The deal includes both the physical space hardware and access to Planet's software and intelligence solutions.
One of those three newly launched Pelicans is the very first satellite to orbit as part of the Swedish Armed Forces agreement.
$PL is sending three more Pelican satellites into space this weekend, bringing the total Pelican fleet up to 9.
These next-gen satellites are equipped with built-in $NVDA Jetson Orin modules, allowing them to run powerful AI processing and object detection directly in orbit.
In addition to the growing Pelican fleet, $PL is also designing a brand-new, specialized version of the Tanager spacecraft.
Slated for launch as early as 2028, this SWIR-only (shortwave infrared) satellite will work alongside the original Tanager-1 to supercharge the detection of methane emissions, fire fuels, and minerals across a massive 100km coverage area.
The rating of my current holdings according to this framework.
$GOOGL: 97/100
Alphabet’s management operates with relentless execution and immense capital discipline. While the sheer, absolute dollar magnitude of their stock-based compensation remains staggering, their aggressive share repurchases, strict strategic focus on monetizing AI infrastructure, and transparent, data-backed communications make them elite operators who are successfully defending one of the largest economic moats in existence.
$FTC: 96/100
Filtronic’s management team under CEO Nat Edington demonstrates an exceptional, almost robotic level of operational execution and capital discipline. By leveraging their core RF and mmWave competencies to secure and execute massive, binding contracts in the LEO space and defence sectors, management has consistently over-delivered on guidance without diluting shareholders, reflecting the highest tier of corporate integrity and competence.
SK Hynix: 93/100
SK Hynix’s management team operates with absolute, ruthless operational efficiency, cementing a near-monopoly in the highest-margin sectors of the AI hardware supply chain. While their corporate governance reflects a traditional Korean chaebol structure—meaning individual executives hold virtually zero personal equity—their technical execution, capital discipline, and balance sheet mastery currently represent the gold standard in the global semiconductor space.
$ASM.AS: 92/100
ASM International’s management team demonstrates exceptional execution, operational visibility, and capital discipline. While lacking the high insider ownership typical of aggressive, founder-led companies, their pristine balance sheet, brutally accurate multi-year financial forecasting, and active share buyback programs firmly establish them as highly trustworthy stewards of shareholder capital.
$OUST: 90/100
Ouster, Inc. (OUST) presents a rare profile in the pre-profit / early-commercialization hardware space: a management team that actually executes on its roadmaps. Led by CEO Angus Pacala, the company has demonstrated strict operational discipline, successfully commercializing its digital lidar technology while maintaining a fortress balance sheet. While historical share dilution from strategic M&A requires monitoring, management’s transparency regarding one-time revenue events and their consistent delivery of hardware margins earn them an elite rating.
$PL: 89/100
Planet Labs (PL) is a rare anomaly in the high-growth space: a former SPAC that actually survived its cash-burn phase and successfully transitioned into a free-cash-flow-generating enterprise. While management's equity compensation remains slightly elevated, their exceptional track record of launching highly complex hardware on schedule and their disciplined, jargon-free focus on securing massive government contracts demonstrates supreme execution and integrity.
$MRVL: 88/100
Marvell’s management team operates with high technical competence and ruthless strategic clarity, successfully transforming the company from a broad-based silicon provider into a highly focused AI data center powerhouse. While management has faced cyclical headwinds in legacy segments that triggered some guidance volatility, their ability to aggressively hit engineering milestones for custom AI silicon and responsibly manage capital allocation reflects elite, tier-one execution.
$PLTR: 87/100
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) features a visionary, high-conviction management team that consistently executes on commercial expansion and product delivery at a scale few enterprise software companies can match. While their aggressive stock-based compensation and slight equity dilution trigger mechanical deductions, their ability to drastically over-deliver on forward guidance and perfectly align capital deployment with their core Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) establishes them as elite operators.
$TMDX: 87/100
TransMedics Group (TMDX) possesses an elite, execution-focused management team that has successfully transformed the company from a capital-intensive med-tech startup into a vertically integrated, cash-flowing logistics and clinical powerhouse. While minor deductions are warranted for recent share dilution and stock-based compensation levels, management’s flawless delivery on ambitious infrastructural timelines and mathematically transparent communication earn them near-maximum trust.
$HIMS: 85/100
Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (HIMS) is operated by an aggressively competent management team that has successfully transitioned from a cash-burning SPAC into a highly profitable, cash-flowing entity. While historical share count expansion requires ongoing scrutiny, their ability to execute against stated timelines, beat forward guidance, and seamlessly expand their core direct-to-consumer moat into highly lucrative verticals borders on clinical precision.
$RKLB: 79/100
Rocket Lab (RKLB) boasts a highly accountable, founder-led management team that excels in strategic focus and transparent communication, successfully transitioning the company into a space systems and defense prime contractor. While the persistent delays of their heavy-lift Neutron rocket require notable deductions, the company’s ability to consistently meet financial guidance and maintain technical integrity makes them a standout in the capital-intensive aerospace sector.
$AMPX: 75/100
Amprius Technologies’ management team exhibits high-level execution regarding product iteration and revenue growth, but this comes at a severe cost to retail equity holders. While the team successfully transitioned the company toward profitability by ruthlessly pivoting to a fabless contract-manufacturing model, their aggressive share dilution and the quiet abandonment of their flagship domestic manufacturing plans reveal a management team that prioritizes survival and top-line growth over pristine shareholder alignment.
$FLNC: 73/100
Fluence Energy (FLNC) presents a complex profile of elite financial backing and strong insider alignment, severely undercut by chronic project execution issues and lumpy guidance misses. While management operates with a fortress balance sheet and refuses to artificially pump the stock with trending AI buzzwords, their inability to consistently defend gross margins and deliver predictable quarterly revenues makes them a volatile, high-risk operator in the utility-scale energy storage sector.
$IREN: 35/100
IREN (formerly Iris Energy) presents as a highly promotional, capital-intensive infrastructure play that relies heavily on retail shareholder dilution to fund its shifting ambitions. While management has successfully secured impressive debt financing and massive power capacities, their chronic inability to hit original timelines, massive expansion of the share count, and blatant narrative pivot from Bitcoin to Artificial Intelligence reflect a team that prioritizes growth at the direct expense of shareholder equity.
So, in the past couple of months management has led investors down in some FinX favorites.
I can recall $EOSE, $TE, and $POET stocks plunged after management heavily missed revenue guidance or just management mistakes.
For an individual investor it is not always easy to digest the whole management team, let alone rate them.
I've done a lot of research last night to management frameworks. McKinsey, Morgan Stanley, BCG, Morningstar,... all have papers on rating management.
The problem?
Most of them are focusing on established companies. They focus on ROI, Free Cash flow, and dividends. If I build a framework like this, the management of high growth companies always have a bad score.
So, I wanted to create something different. An honest and objective framework on management. As I don't want to include too much financial figures, a bit will always be subjective.
The 5 categories:
Category 1: The Say-Do Ratio (Maximum 30 Points):
The Say-Do Ratio tracks the historical reliability of management's public promises versus their actual execution. In pre-profit companies, trust is the only currency; if management cannot accurately forecast their own engineering and sales timelines, their financial projections are entirely worthless.
Category 2: Communication & Transparency (Maximum 20 Points):
This category measures the integrity, clarity, and psychological tone of executive communication. It assesses whether management treats investors as intelligent partners or as targets for manipulation.
Category 3: Capital & Dilution Discipline (Maximum 25 Points):
For pre-profit companies, managing the share structure is just as important as managing the product. A brilliant technology will still result in zero shareholder returns if the equity is diluted into oblivion before commercialization.
Category 4: Founder-Led & Insider Alignment (Maximum 15 Points):
This category assesses whether management shares the same financial fate as retail and institutional investors, embodying the skin in the game philosophy.
Category 5: Strategic Focus (Maximum 10 Points):
This measures the company's ability to stay on course, defending its economic moat rather than chasing the latest technological fad to generate short-term retail interest.
Does it work? It looks like it.
Some examples:
$POET: 19/100
$EOSE: 35/100
$TE: 28/100
$PL: 88/100
$RKLB: 79/100
To make it easy, I did put my framework in a Gem. If you want to do the same, please copy paste the framework and instruction that I have put in the comments.
It should be possible in every LLM, not just Gemini. If you don't have a paid subscription on any model, just ask me. I will put in in my model and give you the score with the major red and green flags.
$PL survived the selling pressure due to the redemption of public warrants.
Exercising the warrant allowed holders to purchase shares of Planet Labs' Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.
They had until today to exercise their warrants.
A 4% dilution was expected from this exercise. The fact that Planet rose another 30% during this period is a good sign.
@Peregrino1708 Interesting $PL as main holding, do you own the ETF?
The companies of the new Space ETF from Tema and their market cap:
SpaceX: 1.5T (?) - 10.03%

Read my analysis below 👇
Starshield might be the best earth observation platform for governments.
Still $PL surged 50% in their Defense & Intelligence segment.
Here is a breakdown on why that was possible and why I think it will surge further.
1. The Power of Unclassified Intelligence:
SpaceX’s Starshield is an absolute beast, but it is highly classified and built almost exclusively for the U.S. military. If the U.S. or NATO needs to share intelligence with non-cleared global allies, or expose adversarial troop movements to the public, they cannot use Starshield without exposing secret spy capabilities.
$PL provides commercial, unclassified data that is instantly shareable on the world stage. Governments need both.
2. Broad-Area Monitoring vs. Targeted Spying:
Classified spy satellites are expensive and in incredibly high demand. Intelligence agencies use Planet’s daily, global scans to monitor massive geographic areas on a budget. When $PL's baseline data shows something suspicious, like a new military base or border buildup, the government then tasks its classified assets like Starshield to take a closer, highly targeted look. Planet frees up the heavy hitters.
3. Moving From Pixels to Answers:
Defense agencies are drowning in raw satellite imagery and don't have enough human analysts to review it all. Planet shifted its business model to address this, notably partnering with NVIDIA to build GPU-native AI engines into its data pipeline. $PL is no longer just selling pictures; they are selling automated alerts.
If an adversary moves fighter jets to a contested airfield, Planet’s AI flags it instantly.
Why I Think It Will Surge Further
• A Massive, Locked-In Backlog: $PL just reported a backlog of over $900 million which is a 79% year-over-year increase that is nearly three times their current annual revenue. The defense demand isn't just theoretical, the money is already committed.
• The Sovereign Space Boom: International allies realize they can't rely 100% on U.S. classified intelligence. Buying a subscription to $PL gives nations like Germany and Sweden their own dedicated eyes in the sky without needing to spend billions building and launching their own satellite constellations.
• The Profitability Turning Point: After years of cash burn, $PL just achieved its first full fiscal year of adjusted EBITDA profitability ($15.5 million) and positive free cash flow. They now have the solid financial foundation required to scale their next-generation Pelican (high-resolution) and Tanager (hyperspectral) fleets.
Starshield is going to completely dominate the classified realm, but open-source Earth intelligence is officially a booming, highly profitable sector. Don't sleep on $PL.
I have to admit something.
I bought $SIVE at SEK 11 on the 19th of March.
I sold $SIVE at SEK 8.14 on the 20th of March.
My mistake cost me €600. Let me explain, so you can learn form it as well.
On big projects, I often join my sales engineers to make sure we secure the deal. March wasn't a great month for my business line and we had a final conversation for a big project. This would make or break my entire month.
There was a lot of pressure from above to make sure we close this deal. Long story short, we didn't close the deal. The customer chose a cheaper, less qualitative short-term solution.
Back in my car, I was furious. I felt my sales engineer pushed the customer too much into a certain solution, closing the options for him. I knew there was going to be a difficult conversation on why we'd lost the deal.
Fuming as I was in my car, I opened X. The first tweet I saw presented it to me as the holy grail. A tweet from, back them a far lesser known, Serenity about a certain new stock; $SIVE.
He already made some good calls, but as I was in a very busy period, I never had the time to do my own research on the companies and I never just blindly someone else.
At least, I never had blindly followed someone else. Until now. 2 minutes later, I bought a 2-3% allocation in Sivers.
I always scream that blindly following people is the biggest mistake an investor can make and that you always have to do your own research to build conviction. Yet here I was, rejecting my own rules.
Of course, I immediately had a bad feeling about the transaction and luckily for me I only bought a very small portion. Normally I buy at minimum a 5% allocation, this time I bought less.
Next day, I had the shit conversation with my gm and the divisional president. The conversation left me frustrated. I opened my broker app later that day and what did I see, $SIVE was down almost 30%.
If I did my research and if I knew what I was holding, this would have been a golden opportunity to add some to my position. But this time, I had no clue what I was holding. I panicked and sold my position. I'm probably the only one who made a loss on Sivers since March, but I learned my lesson.
I have to accept that I do my research just for fun as my full commitment is to my job. Because of that, I will miss opportunities. There are periods that I just can't do a lot of research and that's ok, I should not be chasing hypes during this period.
I try to bring you guys value by doing research on new stocks like $PL, $INV, Filtronic, $AMPX,... I don't get joy anyway in doing the 17th deep-dive in the same stock, so why should I chase that hype?
I'm up 50% YTD with a unique portfolio, I'm transparent and try to give you guys as much information as possible. I'm proud of that and will continue on this route.
I did not post anything on $SIVE because I did not do any research and could not post any information. I learned my lesson now.
You will have shit days at work like me, feeling the urge to chase every opportunity. But please calm down and know you don't have to buy every stock you see on here. Do your own research, you'll be proud of what you can achieve.
@PrasanthInvests Thanks, I have a couple of +300% and even $PL of +900%. Those winners made me a lot of good money. I don’t want to automatically sell at a certain growth % though. Want to look at the thesis.
@InvestingVisual Thanks, yes SpaceX is by far their biggest and most important customer.
The E-band is mainly used by data providers like $ASTS, Airbus, Amazon LEO, Starlink. As mentioned TAM is not that big. It’s to put massive amounts of data in space and back to ground stations.
The industry standard is now Ka-band amps, companies like $FLY, $PL,… all use Ka-band to make the satellites communicate with each other. It’s cheaper but can’t hande much data.
The Ka-band is extremely crowed at the moment and SpaceX and Filtronic want to innovate this space by introducing V-band GaN amps.
V-band can handle more data than the Ka-band and the space is less crowded. The problem is that the physics to build this are difficult. E-band and V-band amps van overheat easily because the massive amounts of data.
The fact that Filtronic already succeeds in making E-band amps, encourages SpaceX that they can also make it work for V-band amps.
But for the V-band as well, I think it will be too expensive for companies like $FLY or $PL. They will probably keep working with Ka-band amps.
Hope this helps
$NASA is a new space ETF from Tema.
It gives investors 10% exposure to SpaceX.
$ASTS is the second biggest holding followed by $RKLB and $PL.
$FTC is the most interesting name on the list for me. Investors get 4.7% exposure to the $500m market cap company.
Filtronic plc is a designer and manufacturer of advanced radio frequency (RF), microwave, and millimeter-wave (mmWave) components and subsystems.
Their customized communication solutions are primarily used in the aerospace, defense, space, and telecommunications infrastructure industries to transmit, receive, and condition radio signals.
Going to do some more research to the company in the coming days.
$PL
Looks like I got my first 10-bagger https://t.co/Z3FfZqGwft
@RKLBMan Why don’t you include $PL?
Looks like the market is not giving you any cheap entry tickets to $PL. Even with the short-term selling pressure due to the warrants, a small short squeeze is real.
Planet is up 12% today. More than any other space stock.
Market is starting to realise how well SpaceX and Planet can work together.
If you are looking for an entry into $PL, I would wait until 27/04. There are many short-term technical mechanics going on behind the scenes.
For those who don't want to read the whole analysis. I think there is a possibility that you can buy the stock around $25, while the upside is around $40. Which makes it worth to wait and stay patient at the moment.
As I already explained, Planet is facing intense downward pressure ahead of its public warrant redemption deadline on April 27, 2026.
With warrants exercisable at $11.50 and the stock near $34, a wave of exercises is guaranteed. This creates a looming arbitrage dump, where warrant holders convert and immediately sell their new shares to lock in $20+ profits. Anticipating this dilution, short sellers have aggressively piled in, driving borrow rates to a costly 28%.
However, if Planet can absorb this selling wall and hold above the $30-$32 level through late April, the narrative flips.
The company will secure debt-free cash. Meanwhile, the heavily leveraged shorts will be trapped. Given the sky-high borrow fees and extreme Failure to Delivers (FTDs), a failure to break the stock down could force massive short-covering, potentially igniting a upward squeeze once the dilution overhang clears.
As the Net Premium data shows, the market is overwhelmingly crowded with bearish bets at the $30 and $35 strikes.
If the stock holds, these expensive downside bets become worthless. The combination of forced short-covering and market makers unwinding these massive bearish positions could create a feedback loop.
In this squeeze scenario, rapid momentum pushing through $35 and testing the next major resistance wall at $40 in early May is structurally possible.
Conversely, if the arbitrage selling proves too heavy and the critical $30 support level breaks, the downside could be severe.
This cascade would force market makers to aggressively short the stock to hedge the deep in-the-money put options highlighted by the massive red premium bars. In this bearish flush, the stock could rapidly capitulate toward the heavily traded $25 strike.
Some key catalysts I'm looking forward to in 2026-2027.

$LWLG: material volume production and licensing revenues
During their recent early 2026 updates, LWLG management explicitly stated they are building infrastructure for long-term commercialization, with meaningful volume production and licensing revenues anticipated to begin in 2027.
Little introduction for new followers.
I’m 29 years old and currently work as a Commercial Director for a large corporation. I hold a Master’s and an MBA in Economics and Strategic Business Management.
I first came into contact with investing at university. I landed a student job working for investment banks, where I wrote the company reports they required to update price targets. I learned about the algorithms they use and how they make decisions; in fact, I spent more time learning about companies and sectors than I did in college.
During this period, I made my first investments—mainly in large caps like Microsoft, Holcim, and L’Oreal.
When I started my first full-time job, I stopped doing investment research. I simply didn't have the time to do the necessary due diligence. AI wasn't a tool back then, so research was far more time-consuming than it is today.
My career began in Finance, moved to Purchasing, then Marketing/Sales, and recently I was promoted to Commercial Director. I’m very proud of my career trajectory, especially at my age.
With the advent of AI, I’ve picked up my research again. I’ve now beaten the S&P 500 four years in a row. My research got me into $PL, $HOOD, $PLTR, $IONQ, and $RKLB early.
I have an analytical mind which helps me in both my job and my research. As an economist, I now lead an engineering team as well. They are far more technical than I am, but I have a specific gift.
Asking the right questions.
I can’t teach them the technical side, but I can challenge them by asking the right questions.
The same applies to investment research now. It used to be about your ability to find information. Now, it’s about your ability to ask the right questions.
I will always be transparent here and share my own research and transactions. I’ll reply to as many of your questions as possible, but with a busy schedule, please bear with me.
On a final note, my wife is currently pregnant with our first child. We are expecting him on 22/04. I’m incredibly proud of her; she always supports my career and side projects. I couldn’t do this without her.
Thanks for joining me on this investing journey. I hope we can learn and grow together.
I’m currently first in a stock picking fantasy league. It’s a free game that you can play with your friends or the X community.
The game exist for around 6 months now and is built by @ThetaForgeX and @muted_money. Not sponsored but I want to support two hard working guys who are chasing a dream.
My current virtual portfolio consist out of some of my favourite picks in real life like: $PL, $AMPX, $PLTR and $RKLB.
You can check all rules on the FSL website. You can test some picks or learn about new companies.
Good luck and have fun.
@TheStocksKing Mainly $PL and $AMPX
@DavidCG1111 Sorry, should have been clearer. 50km from the moon surface, yes. Which is 384.000 km from the earth, so way deeper into space than the $PL fleet.
I bought $PL at $4.
I first put it on your radar when I launched this account in Sept '25, and followed up with a full deep dive in Oct '25 when it was trading around $12.
If you followed along back then, you're sitting on a 200% gain today. https://t.co/XfPQrKRq3D
Another interesting $NVDA partnership with a space company. The $FLY partnership looks similar to the $PL one.
The main difference?
Fly Aerospace takes pictures of the moon at 384.000km distance.
Planet takes pictures of the earth at 500km distance.
$PL successfully brings AI to space. It’s only the beginning.
Both $PL and SpaceX are partially owned by $GOOGL.
I expect this combo to be used as well for Project Suncatcher - where Planet will bring the Google TPUs to space.
I don’t expect Planet to have cost benefits though.
$PL to scale up their Pelican fleet to 9. The fleet is equipped with the $NVDA Jetson AI-platform which acts as the brain of the satellite.
These Pelican satellites will soon be placed into orbit with SpaceX's CAS500/2 rideshare mission.
With this launch, Planet further expands the capabilities of its Pelican fleet. It provides higher resolution, faster visit speeds to the same locations on Earth, and lightning-fast insights to make time-sensitive decisions.
Planet plans to significantly ramp up the production and launch of new satellites in the near future. Later in 2026, the company intends to begin launching the second generation (Gen 2) Pelican satellites, which are expected to offer an even sharper resolution of 30 cm.
@MoneyQuotesX That’s why $PL is doing so well. The only pure-play space company with a positive cash flow.
@b_co_co I’m a fan of $AAOI, $PL, $PLTR and $VKTX. Not a fan of $DUOL.
Got a feeling that 2026 will start fantastic again for $PL thanks to some extra unforeseen “project” revenues.
Still undervalued on X, as they are one of the most important space companies at the moment.
The lead on competition is immense and the runway for future revenue growth is clear.
Kaizen Portfolio update of March. My portfolio was up 6.9% this month.
My top 4 positions outperformed the rest of my porftolio.
$PL reported great Q4 results and are up 45% this month. $PLTR is up 7% and $RKLB 2%. $AMPX also reported excellent results and is surfing on a growing drone wave, they are up 45% this month.
I initiated 4 new positions: $OUST, $POET, $MRVL and SK Hynix. I'm up 15% on Marvell, the other positions are flat.
I also bought some extra shares of $HIMS. I think they are ideally positioned to catch the GLP-1 wave and I'm happy to keep DCA'ing into the company.
On the other end of the spectrum $TMDX dropped 25% this month. $HOOD, $FLNC, and $IREN dropped around 7%.
I'll see what tomorrow brings as Trump keeps controlling the markets. I'm at 20% cash at the moment, will be looking to get this down to 10% this month.
I'm also looking to get more concentration in my portfolio. I'm lookin gto add 1 new position and will probably sell 5 to 6 positions. This shold bring my total holdings down from 16 to 11.
Will keep you posted.
@PolarizingLit $PL well-positioned to bid on secondary, supplementary, or early-warning contracts.
I just cracked the CEO-code.
- Founder led
- PhD in science
$PL - Will Marshall Ph.D. in Physics
$AAOI - Chih-Hsiang Ph.D in electrical engineering
$VKTX - Brian Lian Ph.D in Organic Chemistry
$PLTR - Alex Karp Ph.D in Neoclassical Social theory
Looks like you just have to look at your favourite industry, look for a CEO with a Ph.D in science and buy the stock.
Looks like you can’t miss.
The fact that $PL has a positive free cash flow is still massively overlooked.
They have the money to keep innovating while already being the clear leader in their space.
Others have to constantly burn money to keep following. https://t.co/AbgTEQyCBw
Historically, Earth observation (EO) smallsats have relied on X-band radios to downlink the pictures they take to ground stations, and S-band or UHF for basic telemetry and commanding (TT&C).
By equipping the Pelican-7 satellite with Ka-Band and C-Band antennas, $PL is fundamentally changing the satellite's data pipe.
• Ka-Band (High Frequency, High Bandwidth): Ka-band operates at a much higher frequency than X-band. In radio communications, higher frequencies allow for significantly wider bandwidths, which translates to much faster data transfer rates.
The technical impact: Pelican satellites are designed to take very high-resolution imagery (up to 30cm). High-resolution images result in massive file sizes. Ka-band allows Planet to download gigabytes of imagery to a ground station in a fraction of the time it would take using legacy systems.
• C-Band: While lower frequency than Ka-band, C-band is highly resistant to "rain fade" (signal degradation due to weather). It provides a highly reliable, robust channel for commanding the satellite, ensuring that tasking orders (telling the satellite where to look) are received instantly and reliably, regardless of weather conditions over the ground station.
In the defense, intelligence, and financial sectors, an image is only valuable if you get it quickly. $BKSY has historically held a strong edge in latency, heavily marketing their ability to task a satellite and deliver an image in under 90 minutes.
Planet's upgrade to Ka-band directly targets this. By downloading massive images faster, Planet can significantly reduce the time between when an image is snapped and when it appears on a customer's screen.
@roberthardebeck Haha all-in on $PL or? What do you mean exactly with simply zoom out of the market?
