Do you prefer the concept of a private company owning its own space station, or should it be under government control?
I agree 100% with this model.
DCA is really good when putting cash into mutual and index funds as well as ETF's.
Question, is it really beneficial to DCA when buying stocks?
Over the past couple of months with the market roller coaster its got me thinking when it comes to stocks, might be better to save up the cash and buy the dips.
By dips I'm talking when a stock drops 20% to 30%, then buy in.
I think there is room for both types.
But will you know when the dip is over? Will you be as confident dropping a lump sum when you think the dip has ended? DCA'ing takes the guess work and emotion out of it.
Either way could work, but I guess it depends on the exact situation.
What would be your criteria for buying dips? Do you look for a certain percentage drop? Is this for buying more of what you already own, or new companies that you have your eye on?
Yup. If it's a new holding that you're looking to enter long-term, waiting too long for a dip could take you completely out of ownership.
New positions are where I struggle. I don't really like "nibbling" on shares, so I wait... Then, next thing you know the stock runs away from me. I planned to get back into OKLO again at $21. Right before we left the hotel (after New Years), I cancelled the order because I wasnt going to be able to watch the market on the road. It never came back down...
That cost me dearly with QBTS. I was patiently waiting for the pullback at $2.00 because it had surged so rapidly that it didn’t fully enter my position until 3 bucks.

- NASA has invested over $200 million, and Voyager partners include Airbus, Mitsubishi, MDA Space, and Palantir businessinsider.com+1prnewswire.com+1.

- Funds will support R&D, manufacturing, launching Starlab, and scaling defense‑tech operations.
Voyager Technologies outlines several key risks in its S-1 filing, including:
- Dependence on Government Contracts: A large part of their revenue relies on U.S. government and defense contracts, which can be unpredictable or discontinued.
- Project Uncertainty: The success of their Starlab space station depends on timely development, partners, and future funding.
- Financial Losses: They're not yet profitable and may continue to incur losses.
- Founder Control: CEO Dylan Taylor retains significant voting power via Class B shares.

TL;DR
Voyager is a young company at the intersection of space and military tech. They've secured significant funding and partnerships to build a private space station and cutting-edge defense systems. Financially, revenue is growing but they’re not yet profitable. They're going public to get money for R&D and production, while their CEO maintains control via super-voting shares.

What type of question did you ask ChatGPT about the company, and also did you run it by Anthropic?
I didnt use Claude. I asked it to "Analyze Voyager Technologies S1 filing and summarize it in layman's terms", then gave it the URL to the filing.
Do you think they’ll reach the target price of $26 to $29 per share, considering their intention to sell 11 million shares?
