$AST SpaceMobile(ASTS.US) is even worse than I imagined! Last night, I cut my losses and sold all my double leverage and underlying shares, bought a $75 put for next week. If it hits, I'll take delivery and average down; if not, so be it. Over the past half month, I've been churning $40k back and forth. The volatility kept me awake at night; I overestimated my risk tolerance.

I've decided to go back to the familiar QQQ, VOO, and the Magnificent 7. It seems I'm only suited for low-volatility, sleep-friendly investments.

I hope you truly reach for the stars in the end, as humanity needs dreams. I also hope I can make money, even if it's a little less.
