MSFT is currently trading 2x its bench mark revenue.
Since RKLB has no benchmark and no earnings, the easiest comparison is RKLBs current revenue multiple which investors treat as future earnings vs an established company's current earnings multiple.
If you want direct comparison. Then they are equivalent. Both are trading at about 20.
Since MSFT's revenue CAGR is 12%.
And RKLBs is about 230%.
These aren't even equivalent comparisons.
People like YOU are the embarrassments to real traders everywhere.
Enjoy your mediocre returns.
I don't recall reading Kevin Mitnick, but there was a phase like 6 years ago when I read a ton of computer science books including Cryptography and Hacking 2nd edition: https://www.amazon.com/Hacking-Art-Exploitation-Jon-Erickson/dp/1593271441
Ghost in the Wires may have been something I shot through at that time period.
I haven't read much lately.
I literally don't care what it does in the next 5 or so years. Virgin Galactic is eternally fucked and eternally stupid. It's such a shit company there is a book on it. Test Gods: Virgin Galactic and the Making of a Modern Astronaut. It's not a comparable thing. One is a plane with a hybrid engine on it and one is the leading dedicated small launch provider.
I would be worried about price if I thought they might need quick cash but they raised $700m and the launches make a gross profit so it's fine.
If you are worried about the short term performance you are probably going to lose money and be irrational. Just buy it if you think the overall value of the company is going up or sell if you think it's going down. It's literally that easy.
