4 STOCKS BUILDING THE FUTURE OF SPACE CONNECTIVITY The SpaceX IPO in two weeks will force the market to focus on the real monetization layer of space which is connectivity where $ASTS, $AMZN, $SPCX & $IRDM generate actual recurring revenue from orbit: 1. AST SpaceMobile (D2D pure-play) • Cleanest pure-play in space-based cellular broadband with MNO partnerships covering 3 billion subscribers including AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone & Rakuten plus large-aperture phased array technology that connects directly to standard smartphones. 2. Amazon (integrated satellite stack) • Building one of the deepest satellite communications stacks through Amazon Leo with active constellation deployment, ~$12B $GSAT acquisition, $AAPL iPhone & Apple Watch Emergency SOS partnership transferred to Amazon Leo plus $20B of capex committed through 2027. 3. SpaceX (Starlink plus launch ownership) • Vertically integrated broadband leader through Starlink with largest satellite constellation in history covering ~65% of all operational satellites in space, 10M subscribers, $11.4B in 2025 revenue ( 50% YoY) plus full ownership of launch stack through Falcon 9 reusability. 4. Iridium (global LEO incumbent) • Operates only truly global LEO satellite network covering the entire planet with 66 satellites & ~$918M in cumulative EMSS contracts with U.S. Space Force plus proprietary PNT services that serve as the most resilient alternative to GPS.

🚨 SPACEX MAY BE THE BIGGEST INSIDER CASHOUT IN MARKET HISTORY!!! SpaceX is expected to go public on June 12 at a valuation of $1.75-$2 TRILLION. That would instantly make it larger than Microsoft and second only to Apple and Nvidia in the US market. Yet the company lost $4.28 BILLION in Q1 2026 alone and has accumulated deficits of $41.3 BILLION since founding. The real story is what happens after the IPO. Insiders currently own 95% of all shares. The public float is only 5%. And insiders are sitting on $1.66 TRILLION of paper wealth that cannot currently be sold. Most IPOs lock insiders up for 180 days. SpaceX isn't doing that. Just 60 days after listing, 20% of eligible insider shares can unlock. If the stock rises 30% above the IPO price, another 10% unlocks. Then five separate 7% unlocks hit between days 70 and 135. By November 2026, 93% of early-release insider shares could already be free to sell. This isn't just an IPO. It's one of the biggest liquidity grab events Wall Street has ever seen.

If you don’t say “no” to good opportunities you won’t have time to say “yes” to great ones.

There are no returns to doing “average” work (outside of make-work jobs and physical labor). All the returns come from doing *great* work, and scaling it up.
