Wondering what that “Next SpaceX” stock is that Ian Watt has been teasing? Then you’re in the right place.
I’d been getting promo emails for this stock pick and decided to investigate.
A “chance to buy Pre-IPO shares of a private space stock – BEFORE it goes public on the NASDAQ”?
“Shares could jump 457% or more after the IPO”?
Sounds enticing.
Furthermore, Watt tells us that this pre-IPO “hidden opportunity” is all part of the ‘space race 2.0’, which largely has to do with private companies launching satellites for internet coverage.
The catch is.. it’s a privately held company.
But Ian assures us that this opportunity is open to all investors and that there are no special requirements to get in – other than he does mention you need at least $750 to “grab a stake right now”.
Furthermore, the company is going to be selling shares for less than $4 and he predicts the price will be $20+ after it goes public.
What’s so special about it?
Well, we’re told that its satellite-launching tech is more efficient than any other out there. It can supposedly get the satellites where they need to go for much less than SpaceX.
Who the heck is Ian Wyatt?
Well, the guy isn’t all that well known compared to some of the other big investment newsletter writers, such as Teeka Tiwari, Ian King, Adam O’Dell, etc., but he’s still one to run teasers, just like the rest.
This becomes pretty obvious to me when I look at the Trustpilot for reviews of Wyatt Research, of which there are only 1 at the moment..
According to his website, he’s been investing for more than 20 years, having founded Wyatt Investment Research in 2001.
His focus: buying good companies at a great price – of course, which I suppose is what his Capitalist Ventures subscription service is all about, which is what’s being promoted behind this teaser by the way.
The company he’s teasing
This one looks to be Starfighters Space, which is looking to use old (60+ years old) supersonic fighter jets to launch low orbit satellites into space, as you can see here..
Right now we have no idea how this will pan out, but if successful it could provide a much faster and lower-cost method for getting the satellites up there.
How it works is the fighter jets carry the rockets into the upper part of Earth’s atmosphere where the air is much thinner before launching them. Not only does this require less rocket fuel, but it also avoids the troubles of weather that could affect launches near the earth’s surface.
After releasing the rockets, their own propulsion system kicks in and gets them to where they need to go.
One of the big benefits of a system like this is that there is no need for special launchpads to be set up all over the place. All they need is a good place for the places to take off.
Worth the investment?
Getting in on a company like this could lead to big payouts, but it certainly doesn’t come without risks.
There’s a lot of potential here with this innovative launch service, but… they’re using F-104 Starfighter jets that were officially retired by the US Air Force back in 1969 and this isn’t yet a proven business model.
If you’re one to take risks and like what you hear, look into it a little further.
The takeaway
I’m actually not all that familiar with Ian Wyatt. His teasers don’t cross my sights all that often, so I can’t really speak as to how trustworthy or credible his picks have been in the past.
What we know here is that this is a chance to invest early on in an innovative, but not proven, way to launch low-orbit satellites into space at a lower cost than what’s currently being done.
You can get in for less than $4 a share and Wyatt believes this price will shoot up to $20+ a share after the company goes public.
I won’t be investing in it, but for those who are less risk-aversed for an opportunity like this, be sure to let us know how it ends up for you.
