RKLB is my favorite 'I know this is risky, leave me alone' position

Tiny allocation. Very tiny. But I like owning one small cap where the thesis is not just 'maybe it gets acquired' or 'maybe a meme crowd saves me.' Real execution matters here, backlog matters, and management at least sounds like they live on planet earth.

Still, launch/space names can go from exciting to financing discussion in about ten minutes, so I keep it on a short leash.

This is my exact guilty pleasure stock.

At least RKLB bulls can usually articulate a business instead of just posting rocket emojis.

Speculative but not unserious. Big distinction.

I owned SPCE first and that experience basically sent me to therapy.

Backlog quality matters though. Not all future revenue is equally comforting.

Agreed. I try not to treat every contract headline like cash in the bank.
