SpaceX burns roughly $200,000 in fuel per Falcon 9 launch - about $20 million across 100 missions.
One under $5 company's High Altitude Head Start technology could bring that down to $20,000 per launch, or $2 million across 100 missions - a 10X cost advantage.
It is already flying with paying customers, but shares may not stay this cheap once Wall Street notices.  |

Gold is hitting record highs, but most investors are leaving income on the table. A $15 fund is quietly paying out up to $1,152 a month to regular investors - no mining stocks, no options, no physical metal required.
Chief Income Strategist Tim Plaehn calls it a breakthrough strategy that transforms gold's rally into reliable monthly payouts. The next distribution is just days away.  |
