I agree too, Mohan. My money never left ORBI. I was merely pointing out that I think Angelo is more of a trader than an investor. If I were his age I might also be trading, but I've not the time or inclination to trade stocks. Besides, I don't want to pay all that extra income tax!

Anyway, ORBI is heading in the right direction. A rest here and there is not unusual with all good companies. My neighbor bought yesterday upon my recommendation. Everything she buys goes up, so we don't worry about ORBI at all.

TIme to go to work (yes, I took my walk, thank you).

Using:
a range of from 500 to 100,000 meteors per hour
500 satellites at an average orbit of 200 miles
earth's radius of 3950 miles
average satellite area of 400 square feet

I come up with an hourly probability of one of the 500 satellites being hit of from 1/2,400,000 to 1/510,000,000. This would have to be multiplied by the number of hours of exposure. IMO this is a very low probability.
