Since it looks like this news had some impact on our price today, and also displays how difficult rockets are once again.

Good day,

Sorry if this doesn't belong here or goes against the rules. Thought this may be related to banking and am looking for advices.

I will be making a sale of ~$16,500 CAD in person, where she will be e-transferring from her business account. I have auto-deposit enabled. Once the e-transfer is auto-deposited into my account, is the transaction considered safe? I've never dealt with an e-transfer of this large before and wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything here. We will be meeting in front of a police station for safety.

Thanks in advance.

Good day everyone,

I found DRTS two days ago. Have been spending some time to learn about the company, and seems to be quite an impressive company heading in the right direction. Apologies for asking here before conducting my own further research, and many thanks to Mod (Pristine_Hurry_4693) as I have seen you everywhere with tons of helpful information.

Outside of the successful trials with DCR and Complete reaction rate numbers, I am curious of how their financial outlook is like.

• I believe they currently have $0 revenue, how much cash is in DRTS's hands this year, and are there any further funding secured down the road?
• What operating expense can we expect? ie. how many years (or months?) can DRTS survive if they receive no further fundings from today?
• What are some remaining catalysts other than FDA approval and ultimately going commercial?

Thanks so much in advance!

EDIT: Apologies - what are the biggest risks in your opinion? I mean failures from trials of course... but are there any specific trials that are more risk associated to failures over others? I guess financials are another risk as well.

I have posted this the last three down trends, and here we go again. Mods, I did consider commenting this in the daily threads. But with pessimism spreading, thought I could make it a post and help everyone revisit their decisions during tough times like this. Hopefully that is okay.

Reading through posts and comments, it’s glaringly obvious who are invested and who just bought into the hype of "RocketLab" and "space" looking for a quick buck. If you fall into that second group, take a deep breath. I hope this can be the reality check that brings you some calm.

To give you some context, I started with a $5k gamble at $5.23—throwing side money at a cool space bet. But as Sir Peter Beck and RKLB consistently proved their capability through execution, I made it a major part of my portfolio and now hold 2,500 shares across multiple accounts. When we peaked at $150, I was sitting on a $290k gain. Being in Canada, watching it slide back to the $60s meant watching roughly $300k CAD vanish from my screen. Yes, it stings. But look at the bigger picture.

Think of it like building your dream backyard deck. If the price of high-end composite boards suddenly drops mid-project, do you sit around regretting that you didn't buy them cheaper before? No. You celebrate because your total cost to build something beautiful just got incredibly cheap.

RocketLab is in an amazing position. Multiple acquisitions that align with our long-term trajectory, new contracts, we have been writing record Electron launch cadence and revenue each quarter, and our cashflow is about to receive a large boost from Iridium. Also with their existing constellation of 66 satellites and 8 MHz bandwidth, SPB is quite literally progressing towards his goal of being an End-to-end space company.

Yes there are risks, rate hike can hurt the entire macro and launch competition is catching up fast. If RKLB continue to struggle with Neutron, "it will be damaging" is an understatement. But right now, go back to when you first decided to buy RKLB. I assume you were telling yourself to hold 5 years minimum, and that it's a risky play with high return. Hold yourself to that standard.

I’m just an outsider looking in, same as you. But from what I have studied and watched so far, the only fundamental and directional change for RKLB as a company is that it changed in the right way. So look far. Don't chase tomorrow's stock price, rather pay attention to where the company is at. If the company keeps growing in the right direction, its share price will follow despite through ups and downs.

Have a good weekend.

Good morning,

I (33M) earn about $175,000 per year, and is expected to rise to $190,000 EOY in 2026. My wife (31F) is currently not working looking after our two young kids, and we aim to start her job search mid 2027 expecting ~$60,000 in salary.

I currently have about $76,000 of RRSP room, and she has ~$15,000. We have enough cash to contribute full $76,000 of my RRSP.

Does spousal RRSP make sense for us at this time? Would it be a better approach to split my room enough to target a lower bracket this year, then contribute the remaining room next year when my salary is higher?

Lastly, is the benefit of spousal RRSP to have more balanced retirement income through two individuals when we are retired, versus having one person with higher income which wouldn't be as efficient in regards to taxes?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: sorry I had one additional question. If she opens a spousal RRSP account, and later wants to contribute to her own RRSP, can she contribute to the same spousal RRSP account? Or will she need to open a separate RRSP account to use her own room?

EDIT2: Thanks so much everyone for your advices! I should have added that we both have our TFSA maxed out, and I currently have about $110,000 invested in my own RRSP. We cannot use FHSA as we have already purchased our first home. Thought we should aim to distribute retirement income and hence looking into how to property use spousal RRSP.

Hello, looking for help with bad smell from our Qrevo:

• We have a large dog and two toddlers, so floor is always dirty with dust from paws and some dropped food
• It didn't smell for the first 2 years of use
• For some reason now it wreaks foul smell, like weeks old rotten mop. Smell expands throughout living room when mop is self-cleaning
• Our device maintenance schedule has been consistent throughout... replace to new mops every 2-3 weeks and thoroughly clean mop and dirty tank with dish soap. We also take out and clean the bottom tray of docking station as well.
• Not only the mop itself, but the dirty tank & docking station smells as well

Does anyone know why the smell wreaks when mop is self cleaning? Also why the docking station would smell, and how do we approach to rid the smell from the docking station?

Thanks in advance.

I have a few artifacts that I received as gifts over years, and am now looking to sell them as I plan to use the cash elsewhere.

Two artifacts have distinct shapes (turtle & key), and folks at Canada Gold suggested I try selling offline for more than just molt price. I have been trying on FB market place and Kijiji, and no luck so far..

My question is: is it pretty much impossible to sell gold @ molt price, if not at surplus for having distinct shapes? Well known public gold buying places offered at about 18~20% discount, which I find is a lot.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Sorry I should mention that I have gotten them assessed to be 24k pure gold, and weighed them as well.

Hi everyone,

Wife worked until we had our first child 4 years ago, and she has been SAHM since then. We think she'll continue this way for at least another year as we welcomed our second child early this year.

Her current credit score is great at ~870. She has an All-inclusive checking account and a first class travel infinite VISA card with TD, which she rarely uses and has a payment once every two months. TD's all inclusive checking requires a minimum balance of $6,000 to waive the account fee and VISA annual fee, and we're looking to learn options for her to move on from that setup. If we do cancel her credit card, I'm unsure how to manager her credit score as this is her only credit card under her name. Will it be simply opening a low-fee credit card and making couple transactions once every while?

Any recommendations on how to manage credit scores for SAHM? And credit card that suits her current situation?

We have a decent net worth and I assume she won't have much issues with new application without any income at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

Asking out of curiosity. For context, we're looking to upgrade to a bigger home with a growing family + daughter's school considerations.

We got everything set up from realtor, mortgage broker, and lawyer, but for us the trigger for our domino is going to be finding the right home. If we find the house we like, we will start the buying process and also list our current home for sale. If we don't, no rush to buy this summer but to continue waiting for the right house.

When talking to friends and co-workers, I had a good majority of people surprised with this approach. Most of their experience was to sell their house first, then ensure to buy within the agreed move-out day.

Am I missing something here? We understand we may pay a lot more if our current house doesn't sell quickly. Curious to hear if anyone has used the same approach as us before.

Obviously a speculation at this stage, and Rocket Lab may never land anything from this. But still good to see space industry expanding and it will be huge for Rocket Lab if they partake in it.
