They built relatively small rockets, I thought there was a market for these especially for students and other smaller companies that need cheap, low weight payload sent to orbit. Also thought these smaller rockets would be more reliable so if stock goes up when rocket reaches orbit my logical conclusion was that almost every launch I'd make money, and if a launch happened to fail it would be an opportunity to buy the dip. Obviously, that was a retarded conclusion to reach. At that point I was up about 50% on the rest of my portfolio, but I sold everything else to buy dips. Held the bag for a bit and eventually sold what was left before a reverse split.
Now I buy options from time to time to feed my gambling addiction. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
