@HeeraniPK I just sold load of July 2026 strike $145 calls for $3.20. I think this one makes more sense given, completion of neutron can violently move the stock upwards towards end of this year.

I just sold 10 more $RKLB Jan 2027 covered calls at $145 strike price for $11.5/share premium.
Now I have sold covered calls on 40% of my total shares. I plan to continue doing the same as price goes higher.
Justification is the same as below.

$RKLB Covered Call Sell Alert I just sold $RKLB Jan 10, 2027 covered calls at a $145 strike for $11/share premium. This brings the average cost of my newly acquired shares down to ~$55. For context, I previously held 10,000 shares at around a $15 average and exited in the mid-$80s in January. I also sold 20 of the same covered calls in my 401(k) across all shares there. This position represents ~20% of the shares in my individual account. I plan to continue selling more covered calls as the price moves higher. Ideally, I would prefer April 2027 expiries so that, if assigned, my shares qualify for long-term capital gains treatment. Those aren’t available yet — once they are, I plan to roll into them. Rationale: While I believe Rocket Lab is one of the best companies out there, led by a standout founder/CEO (as outlined in my investment thesis), a significant portion of the upside — especially the key catalyst Neutron — appears to be priced in. If my shares are called away, I’d effectively be exiting at roughly an ~$85B market cap ($155/share) on less than $1B in annual revenue. Great businesses can still be poor investments if bought at the wrong valuation. At ~60–70x trailing revenue, I think some de-risking is warranted. I’m here to make money — not to hold shares indefinitely.

IF YOU HAD $10,000 TO BUY ONE STOCK AND HOLD UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY, WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE?

@B4rryMcCockiner @GMN_watch Also, kaz did buy $1million dollar worth few months ago. So, you’re wrong.
English
@GMN_watch Very bad optics. No insiders have purchased shares in 6+ months and now they are dumping shares at these depressed price levels. Doesn't matter the supposed "tax" reason

@AlmaCap114204 You should at least get some solid launch streak first before you compare the two.

Burger Labs - $RKLB or $FLY?
> $RKLB trades at ~48x forward revenue for a 38% growth satellite manufacturing company with a bolt-on launch business.
> $FLY trades at ~16x forward revenue, delivered 163% revenue growth last year, is guiding ~170% this year, and already has ~80% of the midpoint booked.
> You know about Alpha and Eclipse. You know about SciTec. You know about Blue Ghost. You know about Ocula.
> What most people miss is that Firefly is positioned at the forefront of U.S. hypersonics.
> Firefly joined the Kratos-led MACH-TB 2.0 team as a launch partner, contributing Alpha to the Pentagon's flagship hypersonic test program. MACH-TB 2.0 is a five-year contract worth up to $1.45B. Kratos' largest ever, with a programme-wide target of one hypersonic test launch per week. That is a sustained, high-cadence demand signal for responsive small-lift launch.
> With Alpha Block II, Firefly has explicitly listed hypersonic testing alongside Golden Dome as target mission sets. 104 feet, stronger composites, in-house avionics, purpose-built for rapid-turnaround national security launches.
> The U.S. is in a hypersonics arms race with China and Russia. Limited test infrastructure has been the bottleneck. MACH-TB exists to fix that.

druckenmiller shorted 12 internet stocks in march 1999, every single one eventually went to zero, and he still lost $600m in three weeks because the bubble kept inflating before it popped.
being right on the company doesn't help if the timing is off, you get stopped out long before the thesis plays out. the lesson is that on a long your downside is 100%, on a short it's unlimited.
makes you understand why even the best macro investor alive says he's not sure he's ever made money shorting.
English
STANLEY DRUCKENMILLER: "I SHORTED $200 MILLION OF INTERNET STOCKS IN MARCH 1999. IN THREE WEEKS I COVERED THEM AT A $600 MILLION LOSS."
"I was short 12 stocks. They all went bankrupt. Every one of them."
He was right on every single pick. Still lost $600M.
"If you're dead wrong on a long, you can lose 100%. If you're dead wrong on a short, you can lose 10 times your money."
"Frankly, I'm not sure I've ever made money in shorts. I've never had a down year, but I'm not sure I've made money in shorts. I like it. It's fun. But you can get your head handed to you."
"Don't try that at home."

$RKLB potential breakout! 👀
Obviously we have to see how we close, but if it's above $70, it will likely confirm the breakout and a move to $78

@ComputeInvestor @optionscjp Also, a rent of $7000 on a house is NOT 2.5 mil. That’s super super rosy above asking price. Market price is probably under $2mil for that $7000 rental, which changes the math even more.
English
I’m having a hard time grasping why anybody would buy a house in California right now
The price we pay for rent is $7000 but our house is worth $2.5 million.
If we were to buy that house, our mortgage payment would be like $20k plus we would have to put 20% down
With the economy, the way it is why would anybody want to lock themselves into 30 years of $20,000 a month payments?
When I could rent the same house for $7000 a month and if shit hits the fan, I can just come move somewhere cheaper

@RocketLabrador Interesting to see a post from the future…October of 2026 right?
English
@Arthilien @Nbusiness1990 @nejatian Well...he did spend $1million of his own money to buy up shares around $8.... so he's not COMPLETELY riskless in this scenario.... AND he's given up his compensation at this old job at Shopify... So to say the investors have all the risk doesn't sound 100% correct.
English
Also @nejatian compensation:
The floor $6.24: The first award (roughly 40.9 million shares) only begins to vest if Opendoor’s 60-day average closing price stays at or above $6.24. If the stock stays below this "gate," these shares do not vest, even if he stays with the company.
The Tranches: ($9 to $33): The second award (another 40.9 million shares) is split into seven tranches. These only vest if the 60-day average price hits increasingly higher hurdles: 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29 and $33
Why this matters:
Alignment with Warrants: You’ll notice the first three tranches ($9, $13, $17) exactly match the exercise prices of the Series K, A, and Z warrants.
Sustained Performance: The price must be an average over 60 trading days, meaning a single-day "pump" won't trigger his payday; the stock has to actually hold those levels.
Long-Term Focus: These awards are meant to cover his first five years, signaling that the board expects him to drive the stock to $33 within that timeframe for him to receive the full value of the package, estimated at nearly $2.8 billion if all targets are hit.

@urbnsteezus So you basically went from $1 to $10,000? Why are we crying??
English
Hey everyone, I have been in mental breakdown past two days and finally to calm myself down. I never cried too hard in my life.
Many of you knew me as the guy who turned $1 into $200,000–$300,000 in just a few months trading $SPY.
Lately there’s been a lot of positive and negative noise around me, but today hit the hardest. My biggest mistake was pure ignorance and sizing way too big despite solid advice from experienced traders here. I ignored it at times, and today I paid the full price for it.
To be honest, I’m left with $10,000. It’s only April, with 8 months left in 2026. I’m determined to build it back up.
This lesson will stay with me forever. To all the traders out there: please use my story as a warning. Don’t be like me, control your emotions and your size.
And I will continue to post about $SPY and others, I deeply appreciate every single one of you on here.🙇♂️
Oh yeah $OPEN TO $5 by 2040

RKLB is future Space Enabler and Integrator: cargo, infra, devices, communication, energy, software and many areas more.
This will trigger business opportunities in topics that we can’t even imagine/predict at this point.
Buying for 67 today will be perceived as extremely cheap in a decade.

in 2026, i think peter beck is the most underrated strategic thinker in aerospace rn.
let me explain.
$rklb finally closed the Mynaric acquisition on March 30, 2026. Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs gave the thumbs up.
everyone called it "rocket company buys laser comms company." fine. but that's surface level.
here's the part nobody's talking about: Mynaric got two Nasdaq deficiency notices in 2024. CFO walked. stock crashed 97% from ATH. the company was drowning.
peter beck didn't buy Mynaric at its best moment. he bought it at Mynaric's worst.
that's not luck. that's patience + opportunism.
on the Feb 26 earnings call, he said something that barely registered:
"We're seeing a new world order in defense. Rocket Lab is clearly doing this in space — unseating the old guard."
and honestly? he's right.
Mynaric's CONDOR Mk3 is already baked into SDA Tranche 1 and Tranche 2. SDA is the DoD's primary satellite constellation buyer. this isn't just a product acquisition. it's a lock on a critical node in the DoD's procurement chain.
spacex logic, different layer.
the deal closed. the thesis is live. and tbh i'm still figuring out how big this gets.
who's been watching this space longer than me?
what's your take on the timeline?
