Bullseye!

James Altucher and Zach Scheidt just predicted the buyout of Iridium Communications (IRDM).

Rocket Lab (RKLB) bought them for $8 billion this morning.

Iridium stock is up 22% as I type.

It’s all thanks to the Blue Spike Indicator that flashed on June 23.

The Blue Spike Indicator is an AI-powered system that monitors the options market for unusual activity – the kind that tends to show up when large institutional investors start quietly buying a stock ahead of something they know is coming.

A buyout. A government contract. An FDA approval that hasn’t gone public yet.

The smart money moves first.

Our indicator finds these moves.

And when a Blue Spike lights up, that’s the signal that it’s time to act.

Here’s Why Rocket Lab Wanted Iridium

Rocket Lab is buying Iridium for its global communications network.

Iridium owns a constellation of 66 low-Earth orbit satellites that provide coverage across the entire planet.

The network is already built and already profitable – generating more than $870 million in annual revenue.

Most importantly, it's trusted by the U.S. military for mission-critical communications.

This is an asset you can't recreate overnight.

Building a global satellite network takes years, billions of dollars, regulatory approvals, and access to scarce radio spectrum.

Instead of spending the next decade trying to build its own communications network, Rocket Lab simply bought one.

That's a much faster path to growth.

The acquisition transforms Rocket Lab from primarily a launch and satellite manufacturing company into a much broader space infrastructure business.

Now it can:

• Build satellites

• Launch satellites

• And operate satellites

That's a powerful combination.

The Bigger Story – The Space Industry Has Liftoff

Today's acquisition is bigger than Rocket Lab.

It's a reminder that the space industry is growing up.

For years, investors viewed space companies as speculative startups burning cash in pursuit of ambitious dreams.

Today, we're watching one of those companies spend $8 billion to acquire a profitable, strategically important business.

This isn’t speculation.

It’s maturity.

Ironically, this deal comes just days after space stocks sold off following the SpaceX IPO.

• Rocket Lab: $151 → $91

• AST SpaceMobile: $133 → $79

• Redwire: $26 → $11

Investors suddenly decided the space trade was over.

Micron and memory chip stocks became the shiny new object.

I disagreed with the selloff then and I disagree even more today.

We're still in the early innings of one of the biggest industrial buildouts of our lifetime.

SpaceX and Rocket Lab are making space more accessible and cheaper than ever.

And Jevons Paradox says that when access to space becomes cheaper:

• More satellites get launched.

• More companies build businesses in orbit.

• More governments create space programs.

• More communications infrastructure gets deployed.

• More scientific research becomes economical.

• More manufacturing projects become viable.

That's why I believe most investors have this industry completely backwards.

They're still treating space like a speculative bet.

I think it's becoming critical infrastructure.

So while the market may have rotated away from space over the past few weeks…

I believe this rotation will prove temporary.

Because the space industry has finally reached liftoff.

Now it's time to own it.
