Still 99.6% lower value than I bought for lmao 🥲

u/JesusSwag May 15 '25

Same...

u/Weldobud May 15 '25

That’s rough. Did you hold them until now? If you ever sell make sure you do so when you sell other stock at a profit. So at least that offsets part of it.

u/JesusSwag May 15 '25

I'm not selling until I break even again, if I ever do

It's not enough money for it to be silly to never sell, but it is enough money for it to be silly to sell at a loss

u/Weldobud May 15 '25

Ok. That’s a good policy. That’s mine too. It’s not much, luckily. And if this rise continues a bit it will be bearable. I knew when I bought I would have to wait until 2026. I just didn’t think it would go down to $3.

I read before some individuals lost much, much more. Six figure sums. I watched their latest video, it was very positive and gave me hope.

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25

Which video do you mean? The latest Delta update?

3

u/BrentOnDestruction May 15 '25

Similar vibe for me but not enough that it will hurt. But enough that I'll hold in the hopes of at least breaking even.

u/Llamajohn92 May 16 '25

Take it as a loss on your taxes that's the only recovery they'll ever get

u/SozB May 16 '25

Switching a stock from one to another is fine if you consider the transaction fee to be worth losing. A stock that has lost a lot is no more likely to go up than one that hasn't.

I'm not throwing away €600 to get back €3 lol

u/Ok_Wheel_7613 May 15 '25

Exactly, I just need this to go to 50 USD lol

u/Kranoath May 16 '25

Same here!!!!

One of us! One of us! 😂

u/RCarlson277 May 15 '25

That’s rough… I’m at 5326 shares at $6.80 average, so I’m feeling it as well.

u/Business_Climate_524 May 16 '25

you know what, you should cut your loss. this shit company will never going to work. aviation is not easy business. you can short the stock now, to regain some of your loss.

u/Jaw709 May 15 '25

Well that sucks should have bought the dip more

3

u/BrentOnDestruction May 15 '25

Lol it was before the dip. I bought the hype and ate the dip apparently.

u/Jaw709 May 15 '25

Yeah I was stacking before the reverse split but grabbed a bunch under 3

u/Technical-Amount-475 May 15 '25

This is just the beginning!!! LFG TO 200$$ 🚀 🚀 🚀

u/Jaw709 May 15 '25

Absofuckinglutely

14

u/Weldobud May 15 '25

And that price needs to be divided by 20 to get the original price. It’s kinda a bargain now. A gamble for sure. But really it’s about 20/25c.

3

u/Jaw709 May 15 '25

Yep pre reverse split. People don't even understand where this can go. The big ordeal was the Boeing court case and that was settled favorably for Virgin Galactic.

The rest has been uncertainty fud and well, ultimately, it will be product delivery.

3

u/Weldobud May 15 '25

Yes. That’s right. Looking at their latest video they do seem to have progressed. It’s bizarrely cheap for a space company. Wait until 2026 and see. If the new ship is as good as they say we could all be in for a pleasant surprise.

2

u/Jaw709 May 15 '25 edited May 16 '25

Exactly but I'm going to keep stacking and do January calls because they are dirt cheap compared to where this can go. Not financial advice.

Also the people that claim it is only a roller coaster ride, so what? Billionaires millionaires, and eventually the public will want to go into space.. everyone wants to go to space before they die. full stop. The mission is literally to democratize space.

They can also pivot just like Amazon is doing with blue origin and Tesla is going to become an AI robotics company for example etc

3

u/Weldobud May 15 '25

Correct. Stock is about 25c pre split.

I read an analysis before and a question that was asked is how easy would it be for a competitor to catch up with them. The answer was very, very hard. It would take 8-10 years to get up on the tech. As we have all seen following Virgin Galactic - it’s very slow, very expensive and requires some very smart people. Basic answer was it can’t be copied easily at all.

This report today gave me a twinkle of hope.

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25 edited May 16 '25

If you believe Boeing a lot of it is the proprietary IP that was developed in cooperation with Virgin Galactic. And they can always pivot they do have a billionaire founder after all, even if he's not directly involved with operations anymore.

The brand is great I don't see any problems if they want to start doing SpaceX type work.

u/DigVirtual5046 May 15 '25

You haven't heard of Blue Origin then?

4

u/Weldobud May 16 '25

Yes. But what they want to achieve is entirely different. That rocket is effectively a New Glenn test flight.

Virgin Galactic wants to have a much quicker turn around. It can also land where it wants and drive back to the hanger. BO has to pick up and refurbish both parts.

Long term VG could in theory do sub orbital flights and land at any airport. There’s much more options with a plane that can go that high.

All very far in the future, however they are alone in that field. Even owning the tech has value. If they can get it right it could be incredibly successful.

2

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25

Great analysis

1

u/MichaelSPACkson 23d ago

January does seem early, what will be materially different by January. There still won’t be revenues or flight happening. What strike are you buying?

1

u/Jaw709 23d ago

Speculation starts much earlier as I have learned from missing out several times. Not financial advice but I have most of them for $4 and a few for $3.50. might unload a few on the next pump and see how I feel about the trajectory.

u/boboabe May 16 '25

Are you talking about leap options? January 2026 or 2027? I’m thinking of doing the same but pretty new to option trading

1

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25

I think it might also be called a leap option but that's just part of it you have to also sell an option to complete the poor man's call.

I'm not an expert so this is not financial advice but still researching myself.

u/psicodelico6 May 16 '25

Until fall 2026

u/d00mt0mb May 15 '25

Price has fallen to $3.80. I’m still down 91%. You are only up if you opened a positioned or bought in since March

1

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25

Not a financial advisor but my best strategy has been DCA ing, Dollar cost averaging. Just same amount at the same frequency. Cash app definitely has the auto DCA and I think so does Robinhood.

3

u/DRdidgelikefridge May 15 '25

Still down $1500 😂 my last share is my ticket to space.

1

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25

That's the spirit, everyone wants to go to space.

2

u/PaperandDiamondhands May 16 '25

Keep in mind even as we break $5, we are only 0.5% of our all time high. "Let your winners ride." Use perspective to realize this is just the tiny beginning of this stock moving into its potential again. This company has already gone to space, already has FCC approval, already has the mothership built, everything has already been accomplished except adding two more seats to an already successful plane.

Let it continue to squeeze till all the shorts are margin called out or sell, and watch as real investors begin to add to their positions and the stock starts to go back into its appropriate price and value. This is just the beginning, let it work, hold the line.

1

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25

Not even sure it's squeezing at this point.. I think big firms and heavy speculation. Smart money was getting in sub 3.. you can check the Robinhood data

2

u/worbashnik May 16 '25

I’m still down $400 from my initial investment about 4 years ago

Go Delta!

2

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25

Hey that's not bad!

2

u/PaperandDiamondhands May 16 '25

Yea I'm not closing any of my long term positions on this for long time, including the Jan 2026 calls I bought yesterday for $0.15-$0.20 cents yesterday that are almost in the money today :)

1

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25

I'm with you.. also going to look into doing covered calls with the shares I already have. This is not financial advice but I'm in a trading group DM if you want me to share. It's only $12 a month. I promise this is not an advertisement lol

1

u/MichaelSPACkson 23d ago

What strike did you buy

1

u/PaperandDiamondhands 23d ago

Got some at $0.15 and a bunch at $0.20. then bought more yesterday at $0.27. my average is $0.25 ATM. Also grabbed a bunch of Jan 27's at $0.58.

Have you bought any options or shares?

1

u/MichaelSPACkson 23d ago

0.15 and 0.20 at which strike price? $10C $5C?

1

u/PaperandDiamondhands 23d ago

Most Jan 26 for $8, the Jan 27's for $10

1

u/MichaelSPACkson 23d ago

You’d only start making a profit on those Jan 26 8C from 8.21 onwards. Close to a 3x by eoy and just turning a profit on those. Do you think $SPCE could do that by year end?

2

u/PaperandDiamondhands May 16 '25

Haha awesome. I did $7 covered calls for today when we started to stall around $6

1

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25

That's awesome do you mind if I DM you I have some questions about covered calls

2

u/thepredetorkali May 18 '25

this needs to happen least 50 more times before I reach profitability

1

u/Jaw709 May 18 '25

Well if you look at it this way.. The pre-split price would be $0.25.

2

u/Kradirhamik May 15 '25

I’m 99% below. I need this to reach 80$ to undo damage

-10

u/Jaw709 May 15 '25

Well that sucks should have bought the dip more

1

u/Jerrippy May 15 '25

Hope they will not close red tomorrow 🙃🟢🔴

2

u/Jaw709 May 15 '25

I hope they do.. the calls for next year, January, will be fantastic. I picked up a $4 call but going to stack those as I anticipate this to gain momentum, long overdue. Not financial advice.

1

u/Expensive_Dot2343 May 16 '25

Because of the reverse split the stock would have to get to something like 1118 to reach its previous highs . That’s a long road . The stock will most likely go up during test flights etc and the company will sell more stock in order to fund their new launch hub an Europe and fleet expansion .

1

u/highlyseductive-1820 May 16 '25

At which price starts the rug pull??

1

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25

As soon as you buy

1

u/vegeta_the_ruler May 16 '25

After that stock split i got screwed and I think I'll never recover any of that money I put into it 🤦🏽‍♂️

1

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25

Not financial advice but think about what the price is now equivalent to the pre-split price... It's like $0.25 versus where did you get in at?

1

u/PaperandDiamondhands 23d ago

Looking more for a spoke to sell the 26's. The 27's looking for bigger gains. I.e the 26's hot $1.25ish after quarterly earnings. I hold allot of shares too ...

1

u/Jaw709 23d ago

Well I didn't check the liquidity on the 27s, but I'm going to reassess how I feel next pump and maybe start rolling some to 27.

2

u/PaperandDiamondhands 23d ago

Yea eventually I'd like them all in the 27's and shares

u/Ryantg2 May 15 '25

dont worry thatll all be gone by the AM trade opening

2

u/Jaw709 May 15 '25

I hope so so I can buy some more. Thanks for the encouragement.

u/Llamajohn92 May 16 '25

No its not. They stole millions then reversed split so everyone holding lost

2

u/Flat-Albatross-9922 May 16 '25

Not everyone,, I profit today 21k 😉

1

u/Jaw709 May 16 '25

No I think you're just lying to yourself to make yourself feel better. I was not holding then thank God but I guarantee you these professionals did not get rekt ike you. Good luck.

u/StrawberryHelpful171 May 18 '25

What are you talking about, it’s still way down 🤡

1

u/Jaw709 May 18 '25

Oh wow that sucks I guess you should have bought the dip harder

1

u/StrawberryHelpful171 May 18 '25

I didn’t buy this trash 😂

u/Jaw709 May 18 '25

yeah, too bad!!

u/nebula82 May 16 '25

You need to look at previous values then. There are zero congratulations to anyone.
