Buying Stocks

[symbolite]

Are there any space businesses that are publically traded? For a while now ive been wanting to buy stock in something i just don't know what. Throw me some suggestions. Thanks. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I believe SpaceDev is public..<br />Might try Space Adventures as well.

I would strongly recommend in the current regulatory and market environment that you didn't. The only companies that seem to be turning a profit in the 'new space' business are Scaled Composites and OSC.<br /><br />And don't touch a SpaceX IPO with a 400ft pole. As soon as someone competent builds a real MCD booster (Boeing had ideas in the 80's but would now be blowing the margins on their EELV business. Pity.) Elon is toast.

Thqat would require common sense, which is in short supply these days. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

"seem to be turning a profit in the 'new space' business"<br /><br />Since when was profit a requirement in investing in these businesses? I thought we all wanted these companies to suceed such that we'd be willing to put some money in just to help out. If I was looking for money from stock trading then new space would be the last place I'd look to. But that's just me.<br /><br /><br />
