I have been long SATS for a while and added to my position after this. Market hasn't budged, I have listened to their conference calls and read the earnings reports. Still a good time if this makes sense to you. I hold calls for July and some stock. For reference this came out around 2:55 pm EST May 12th.

"The firm said the market price of $133 suggests an implied SpaceX value of approximately $1 trillion."

2 trillion means this could double to 266! But in reality there should be a discount, but it still tells you there is a lot of room to run, 200+ not out of the realm
