Reasoning trail
Every post mentioning RKLB, newest first — the thesis as it was built and revised
-
04 Aug 26
Previews SpaceX's first public-company earnings report, explains he is not a shareholder but holds Filtronic, Planet Labs, and Rocket Lab which are impacted by SpaceX; lists what he'll watch: AI infrastructure capex, Space Force contract execution, Starlink enterprise penetration, and Starship progress.
-
30 Jul 26
Says if he didn't already have space sector exposure he'd buy Planet and Rocket Lab now, and would prioritize the space sector over SK Hynix if forced to choose
-
23 Jul 26
Owns both RKLB and PL; disputes that PL's fundamentals are weaker, pointing to positive free cash flow and near break-even EBITDA as evidence PL's financials look strong.
-
21 Jul 26
On $PL and $RKLB: if they bounce back before hitting his price targets, he'll wait for their next earnings report before deciding whether to pay a higher price.
-
21 Jul 26
Says $PL, $RKLB, and Filtronic are within 10% of his price targets and he'd add a lot more to his space holdings; bullish long-term thesis on the space economy (TAM growing from $626B to $1.8T by 2035). Bullish on $RKLB (launch services growth), calls $PL his safest pick given its FCF and ties to $NVDA/$GOOGL, and Filtronic his 'bottleneck' pick on space comms tech validated with $SPCX. Likes $ASTS's potential but flags its cash burn as a risk, and is evaluating a new undisclosed micro-cap.
-
16 Jul 26
Defends his long-term thesis despite recent declines, listing cost bases across several holdings, and admits past mistakes (sold CRWD and SIVE, bought POET).
-
07 Jul 26
After being offline during a move, says he's calm in this market; WOLF hit his buying target so he added a bit more at $34.3, and restates his full watchlist of buy/add targets across many tickers.
-
02 Jul 26
Notes Planet's partnership with Isar Aerospace to launch its next-gen Pelican satellite, calls it likely heavily subsidised by the German government as the first all-German launch, frames it as part of Europe's growing space investment benefiting Planet, though he still expects Planet to use SpaceX for most launches.
-
01 Jul 26
Monthly portfolio update: MTD -3.7%, YTD +94.1%, no trades this month, allocation shifts purely from price action across 14 positions including Planet Labs, Ouster, Rocket Lab, Marvell, SK Hynix, ASM International, Palantir, Fluence, Hims, Google, Iren, Wolfspeed, Amprius and Filtronic.

-
25 Jun 26

Agrees the three space names highlighted (PL, ASTS, RKLB) are great picks.
-
25 Jun 26
Author revisits his earlier view that PL's ATM timing was bad, now noting PL's drawdown from ATH (48%) is actually milder than peers like RKLB, ASTS, SATL, RDW, FLY, and BKSY, concluding the market didn't punish the ATM as hard as he thought.
-
22 Jun 26
Rebuts a claim about which space stock fell most from its peak, citing drawdown figures across several space names, noting RKLB has fallen the least.
-
22 Jun 26
Highlights that $PL had a strong day relative to other space stocks, which broadly declined.
-
17 Jun 26
Not worried about PL's 50% drop; diversifies across 'investment waves' (space, memory, LiDAR, drones, photonics, datacenters, energy) so some rise while others fall. Recounts buying SK Hynix at €487 during the Iran war drop and PL/RKLB during the tariff drop. Says the current PL level is an ideal entry for anyone lacking space exposure, and he would add more himself if PL falls to the low $20's.
-
12 Jun 26
Compares SPCX's IPO-day surge to a selloff in other space stocks, arguing the liquidity vacuum and halo effect make PL, ASTS, and RKLB buying opportunities at current levels.
-
09 Jun 26

-
03 Jun 26

-
31 May 26
Monthly portfolio update: MTD +40.4%, YTD +97.8%. Bought WOLF and FLNC early in the month, sold TMDX, and sold ASML to fund a SK Hynix purchase (wishes he'd bought more three months ago). Cash allocation ~11.6% and building slightly via savings, not sales. Reviews all 14 core holdings with performance, allocation and outlook: PL (target $60 by year end, earnings 4/6), RKLB (surged on strong earnings), OUST (long-term hold, no longer buy territory), PLTR (favorite AI software play, #1 holding), SK Hynix (regrets not buying more), AMPX (bullish long-term on batteries/drones), IREN (highest-cost holding, datacenter thesis), MRVL (photonics center, healthy balance sheet), ASM.AS (longest-held, safe-haven, €1,000 target where he may trim), Filtronic (SpaceX GaN amp supplier), WOLF (bullish long-term, BoA target >$80), FLNC (Hyperscaler contracts, next quarters crucial), GOOGL (could become most valuable company), HIMS (small 3.7% allocation, may add).

-
19 May 26

-
15 May 26
Pushes back on hindsight bias around stock picking, noting one could just as easily have picked losers like Adobe or The Trade Desk instead of winners like Rocket Lab or Palantir, and questions whether he'd have held through Rocket Lab's 40% drawdowns.
-
15 May 26
Argues against the narrative that concentration is required to beat the market, citing his own track record of holding 12-17 stocks (avg 15) while beating the S&P 500 every year since 2023, with a portfolio breakdown showing Planet Labs, Rocket Lab, Palantir, Ouster and others as top holdings.
-

14 May 26
Reports PL surging to a 52-week high after Wedbush's Dan Ives raised his price target from $40 to $50 (Outperform), citing a strong RKLB quarter, a new multi-year Czech government agriculture-monitoring deal, and first-light imagery from the new Pelican satellite.
-
10 May 26
Points to his page for full theses; notes SpaceX is already threatening Rocket Lab despite not being public, but Rocket Lab still delivered strong results last week.
-
10 May 26
Confirms space is his largest theme; RKLB and PL are now his top holdings by value due to growth (not original cost basis); Filtronic was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. Explains AMPX is the clear leader in drone battery tech, addressing every drone's need, and prefers it over Ondas, which he says has cleaner tech but faces Anduril competition that shrinks its TAM; he missed the Ondas entry and won't chase it at its current ~$4B market cap.
-
10 May 26
Full monthly portfolio update: 15% cash plus 14 named positions with allocation percentages and average cost basis / gain per position, from $PL as largest (16%) down to $HIMS smallest (4.7%, currently at a loss).

-
07 May 26
Announces he sold TMDX and used the proceeds to add to FLNC, keeping cash allocation at ~15%. Also flags he'll review AMPX earnings (already listened) and plans to listen to IREN and RKLB earnings calls, both of which he holds, noting aftermarket looks great for the latter two.
-
01 May 26
Publishes management-quality scores for his full current holding list under his rating framework: GOOGL 97, FTC 96, SK Hynix 93, ASM.AS 92, OUST 90, PL 89, MRVL 88, PLTR 87, TMDX 87, HIMS 85, RKLB 79, AMPX 75, FLNC 73, IREN 35 — generally praising execution and capital discipline, with dilution and guidance misses as the main detractors, and IREN scored lowest for promotional narrative pivots and heavy dilution.
-
01 May 26
Monthly portfolio update: best month ever at +48.49% return. Raised cash by selling POET, HOOD and CROWD; only buy was FTC (Filtronic). Wants to add to FTC (currently 4.5% allocation) but is waiting for a better entry. 45% of holdings report earnings next week, especially TMDX and FLNC, his worst performers now under 3% allocation each — earnings will decide whether he trims or adds. Plans to move toward a more concentrated ~12-stock portfolio and expects more trading this month.
-
30 Apr 26
Analyzes META's space-based solar power partnership with Overview Energy for AI datacenter power, and speculates on which US suppliers could provide the space-hardened lasers and optical pointing systems required — naming CACI (post-SA Photonics acquisition), BAESY, and RKLB (via Mynaric) as candidates to watch. Speculative, research-stage thinking rather than a position.
-
28 Apr 26
Introduces his new 5-category, 100-point management-integrity framework, explaining that standard institutional frameworks (McKinsey, Morgan Stanley, BCG, Morningstar) unfairly penalize high-growth pre-profit companies by focusing on ROI/FCF/dividends.

Detailed bullish thesis on Rocket Lab's new radiation-hardened silicon solar array technology, framing it as an overlooked earnings detail that de-risks the supply chain, lowers cost per watt, and positions the company for space-based data center infrastructure, possibly including Project Suncatcher.
-
27 Feb 26
February portfolio recap: -15.6% for the month but only -0.9% YTD after January's run-up.
