Welcome to the latest edition of SPI-Club “Signals”.

Here’s your concise report on the Model Portfolio Innovative Disruptive Equities for August 15, 2023.

Market Update – August 15, 2023:

The markets had a challenging day yesterday, with several notable stocks experiencing declines. TuSimple Holdings dropped by -8.33%, EVgo saw a further -8.19% decline, and Ouster went down by -7.37%.

These downward movements present potential buying opportunities for long-term investors.

Highlight – Telesat’s Impressive Performance Continues:

On oppositive note, Telesat continued its positive trend, gaining a further +19.26% on Tuesday. This brings its Year-to-Date (YTD) performance to an impressive +35.15%. The recent Telesat journey demonstrates the power of compounding gains when buying low.

Since August 10th, the stock has surged by 103%.

Telesat Growth Chart:

All-time High % up-side

• Share Price on August 10th: $  8.41   +589.77%
• Share Price on August 11th: $12.97   +347.26%
• Share Price on August 14th: $14.38   +303.31%
• Share Price on August 17th: $17.15   +238.25%

The Lesson of Buying Low:

Telesat’s story underscores the potential of buying low and the significance of the all-time high up-side percentage in making investment decisions. This strategy can lead to remarkable gains and should be a factor in your investment choices.

Analysing Rapid Growth:

When faced with rapid growth, the decision to hold or sell becomes crucial. However, delving into analytics can reveal other opportunities. For instance, could this growth signal increased investor interest in the Space Exploration industry?

Notably, Advent International acquired Maxar Technologies and took it private on April 19, 2023.

Space Exploration Sector Potential:

Reviewing the SPI-Club Innovative Growth Equity Model Portfolio’s Space Exploration Sector reveals two underperforming stocks with substantial upside potential:

Momentus: Upside potential of 8,308% (Achieved on 09/02/2021)

Astra:          Upside potential of 6,892% (Achieved on 18/02/2021)

Investment Strategy Insight:

I hold significant shareholdings in Momentus, Astra, and Rocket Labs. Although Telesat and Maxar were unfortunately not initially chosen by me.

Since the highest share price was achieved with Momentus and Astra, technological advances have resulted in rockets becoming reusable and advancements in 3D Printing Technology have influenced the space industry’s landscape bringing the cost of launch down by a massive 95%.

Space Exploration is exciting and new, there is so much more to come from investing in this sector.

Upcoming Trade Alert:

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s update, and keep an eye out for the addition of Kratos Defence and Security Solutions to the Model Portfolio.

Best regards
