BEST CASE SCENARIO FROM THE WEEKEND?
Daily Stock Market Recap: 5/12
Hey everyone, it’s @StockMKTNewz - Evan! I’ve posted stock market news every day for almost half a decade. I write this daily recap to make sure you don't miss anything important!
INVEST IN A COMPANY LUNCHING SATELLITES INTO SPACE
The regular readers of this newsletter have seen this one … and if you haven’t looked into it yet, you’re missing out.
Starfighters Space is a very interesting early-stage company trying to break into the small launch satellite market that is currently raising money through a Reg A+ offering!
They’re using a fleet of Mach 2 (1,500 MPH) capable supersonic jets to launch small satellites into orbit, targeting a part of the market that’s been underserved by the bigger players. I visited them at Kennedy Space Center and got to see the jets in person. The team has decades of aerospace experience and a clear plan for breaking into the satellite launch space.
Here’s a video of my friend Gav from Wolf_Financial digging deeper into the company/raise

This is not investment advice — just something I thought was worth putting on your radar
