re: What was your 1st meal after 1st colonoscopy?
Posted by Crescent Connection on 6/10/26 at 8:34 pm to Chrome
Had 1 polyp removed that looked benign. Immediately went to Jersey Mike’s (right in front of hospital) and ate a giant club supreme. Devoured that sucker. Went home and slept 3-4 hours and woke up with a pretty bad headache, probably from dehydration and electrolyte depletion. Went to the gym and felt better afterwards.
What was your 1st meal after 1st colonoscopy?
Posted by Crescent Connection on 6/9/26 at 7:46 pm
1st colonoscopy tomorrow. Just drank the bowel prep at 6pm. That stuff is awful. Really didn’t eat today and all I can think about is food and what I’m going to eat tomorrow after the procedure. A gigantic sandwich at Jersey Mike’s sounds delicious right now. Or a combo chicken/gyro platter plus a hamburger/fries from Zorbas.
re: Restaurants of a middle class family
Posted by Crescent Connection on 6/9/26 at 7:34 pm to tigereye58
I have a family of 6. 4 kids ages 14, 9, 7, and 4. We go out to eat probably twice a month consistently. Off the top of my head, we’ve recently been to…
Sarrica’s
Pizza Village
Chuy’s
Cafe Sydnie Mae
Cactus
Superior Grill
Chimes
Dupuy’s
Average bill is probably $180-200.
If we stop for fast food, it can be anywhere from $60-90.

re: ASTS, meme stock or real stock?

Not sure. I can see $105-108 being the short-term floor, but that’s just a crapshoot hunch.
SpaceX is launching the next batch of satellites. And Blue Origin still has at least one other New Glenn rocket (with 1 being manufactured each month…or at least that was said months ago).
They also use ISRO LVM3 rocket and are in talks with ULA for their Vulcan rocket.
Having said that, things are not looking promising with BO.
Side note, there was something like 60M short float as of last week. It has dropped to ~50M and I think will continue to drop due to SpaceX IPO, so I don’t believe we will see anything lower than $105-110 in the short term.

How bad are the showers in Paris this time of year?
Posted by Crescent Connection on 5/28/26 at 11:54 am
Wife and I are heading to Paris tomorrow. Looks like no rain and just overcast Saturday and Sunday, but 50-60% of rain the next 3 days we’ll be there. Heard the showers were just light and short…trying to figure out logistics for planned bike tours, picnics, Monet Gardens, what to wear, etc.
Thanks for any feedback.

What is your strike price? Most of my calls expire either in Jan or Dec 2027, with strike prices ranging from $40-$90. Time decay (theta) starts accelerating about 4 months prior to expiration. If your strike price is under $125 for December 2027 calls, I would just hold on until late August 2027 after earnings earlier that month.
Trying to time peaks and troughs on this chart is something I’m not too comfortable in regards to trading in and out. About half of my calls are long term gains now, with 500%+ returns on them.

You’re welcome. I have a ridiculous position size in this name. I’ve been following closely since early 2024 and feel confident that this will still be a 10x bagger in 2-3 years. It’s all about successful launches now.
ETA: ASTS has been 100% my portfolio across all accounts…Roth, my wife’s Roth, brokerage, kids’ UTMA accounts. I forced myself to buy some NVDA, AMD, AMZN, PL, and RKLB the last couple months at an attempt to diversify. All together, they may represent less than 1% of my holdings, lol.

We have 2 weeks till SpaceX IPO. I think holding till then is going to be the better decision. Still looking at a $200-240 price range by end of year IF they can get 25+ satellites in orbit.

I bought an Allegiance flag summer of 2024. I was pretty good about taking it down and storing it in the garage during rainy weather. But 2 years later and it’s pretty frayed and discolored. Is that normal?

Just finished season 3. I thought it was fantastic. The scene where he is struggling to kill the driver of the truck with the bomb after they submerge in the water...that was intense.

Chart technicals are looking favorable for a move back above $110 within a couple weeks. The next 3 BlueBirds are en route to Cape Canaveral, with SpaceX Falcon being the launch provider. And it was announced earlier this week that T-Mobile joined AT&T and Verizon in a joint venture for direct-to-device satellite connectivity.
With SpaceX IPO happening in 3 weeks, we should see a 50% move upward.

You’re going to have the peanut butter soup with smoked duck and mashed squash. New York Matinee called it "a playful but mysterious little dish." You'll love it. And then the red snapper with violets and pine nuts. I think that'll follow nicely.

The unsuccessful launch of BB7 and lack of launches YTD is keeping this near the 200-dma, and rightfully so. The satellites are there…just need to get them in space. That’s the execution part that is obviously missing.
Still holding on to hundreds of calls…most of them expiring in January or December of 2027. Thankfully, the majority of them are deep in the money. I think SpaceX IPO will lift us some, but we will not get a meaningful jump in share price until the next SUCCESSFUL launch AND a quick turnaround successful launch and deployment. I don’t see them getting 45 satellites by EOY, but if they can launch 25, I think momentum will be kind.
The definitive agreements with MNOs and government contracts are not going away.

Did anyone else receive a class action settlement from RECAF?
Posted by Crescent Connection on 5/6/26 at 4:00 pm
Just noticed I had $2414 for a class action distribution minus $482 in fees in my rollover IRA posted 4/21/26. I went back in my statements in 2021 and purchased some shares that year. I didn't fill out anything or remember receiving a notice in the mail, but kudos to Vanguard for doing their part, I guess.
