George Gilder’s “Secret Supersonic Seven” Freedom Fighter Stock – The Future of America’s Military Dominance

George Gilder's newest teaser reads like a Tom Clancy spy novel.

It involves space, China, Russia, and one “Secret Supersonic Seven” Freedom Fighter Stock.

The Teaser

Unlike a novel, the stakes in this story are very real, and its outcome will decide the fate of America, and everyone in it, for generations to come.

George Gilder is still going strong in his eight-decade and is one of the more recognizable investment newsletter writers, having been a contributing editor to Forbes magazine and a frequent writer for The Economist, among other mainstream publications.

We have previously reviewed and revealed his “New You” Regenerative Medicine Stock and “10X Graphene Stock” for “Next-Gen AI” teasers.

According to George and his “uncanny ability to foresee how breakthroughs will play out years in advance”, China and Russia have leapfrogged the West when it comes to advanced military technology.

He is referring to hypersonic weapons, which despite the U.S. spending more than $10 billion to develop, has yet to deploy a single one.

But why are these so important?

In a perfect world where everyone got along, and there were no shady backroom deals for power and resources, hypersonic weapons wouldn't matter.

Unfortunately, we don't live in such a world, global tensions are the highest they have been in decades, and hypersonic weapons have clear advantages over their alternatives.

The Power to Challenge

It's easy to spot the gaps when looking at each…

For example, ballistic missiles can travel at hypersonic speeds, but they follow a predictable flight path so they're easier to intercept.

Conversely, cruise missiles like the U.S. Tomahawk can maneuver in flight but travel more slowly.

Hypersonic missiles, however, combine extreme speed with the ability to fly at low altitudes and maneuver in flight, so they are far more difficult to spot by radar or satellite, and nearly impossible to intercept with today’s missile defense systems.

Make no mistake, America’s military is still the most powerful in the world, but hypersonic missiles give anyone who possesses them the power to challenge this superiority.

Extraordinarily sophisticated engineering goes into developing and testing each hypersonic missile before it can be fully operational on the battlefield, and one small company is streamlining this process.

The Pitch

All the details on this company have been organized in a new research report called, The Freedom Fighters: Protecting America’s Global Supremacy In the New Space-Based Cold War.

The report is ours by enlisting to Gilder’s Private Reserve, no, not George's private army, but his latest newsletter dedicated to “radical new technologies.”

Doing so would set us back $2,495, but membership does come with a monthly issue filled with new recommendations, precise instructions telling us how to take advantage of each opportunity, and access to a constantly expanding library of special reports.

Hypersonic Missiles in Space?

At the beginning of this review, I mentioned three things: China/Russia, a “Secret Supersonic Seven” stock, and space.

The first two have been briefly touched on, but how does space tie into it all?

Well, America’s top military brass have apparently grown concerned about China’s rapid development of advanced (hypersonic) weapons that threaten U.S. space capabilities.

This is coming directly from U.S. Space Force Chief General Chance Saltzman, who said “The number of different categories of space weapons that China has created and the speed with which they're doing it is very threatening.”

Falling behind has created an “all hands on deck” moment, with the government casting a wider net than ever before to find innovative new ideas that can also be implemented quickly.

Testing…Testing

What is the central linchpin of any sort of research and development?

The one thing that’s needed, more than almost anything else, before something can be operational…testing.

To no one's surprise, the process for aerodynamic testing that the U.S. military-industrial complex has relied on since World War II is cripplingly slow and absurdly expensive.

Searching in all the unusual places for alternatives has led the government to one shop “located next to SpaceX and Blue Origin, just steps from where the iconic space shuttle was launched.”

However, this small company doesn’t conduct hypersonic testing itself.

Instead, it has something that the U.S. military and virtually every one of the companies that are doing hypersonic testing and development needs to do their job.

Revealing George Gilder's “Secret Supersonic Seven” Stock

George gets quite descriptive about his pick and its operations.

Here is everything we know:

• It has created a state-of-the-art, airborne hypersonic research platform insiders call a “wind tunnel in the sky.”
• The company is headquartered at Kennedy Space Center, right next to SpaceX and Blue Origin.
• Former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo said he is convinced this company “will deliver great outcomes for the American people in terms of productivity and creativity, and great outcomes that will protect my family and yours in the years and decades ahead.”

We looked up this quote and it led us right to George's pick – Starfighters Space Inc. The clues align like a precision hypersonic missile.

• The company's Air Launch platform provides its customers with more reliable access to space.
• Starfighters' HQ and hangar are located at the Kennedy Space Center.
• In December 2023, Mike Pompeo toured Starfighters' HQ and showed support for its mission, which is when he made the quote cited above.

To Infinity And Beyond?

The first thing you probably noticed about Starfighters is the lack of a ticker symbol.

This is because the company is still privately owned, but selling common shares under a Regulation A offering, otherwise known as a “Mini IPO.” It breaks down as follows:

• 9,750,000 common shares
• $3.59 per share
• $65 million valuation
• $35 million maximum proceeds

Starfighters is halfway to this goal, with $19.3 million raised to date.

However, are these figures grounded in reality or stuck in space?

The accompanying financials are from December 2023, so there is some slack to be cut until we see the fiscal year 2024 numbers, but a $65 million valuation is a huge stretch.

Based on what has been disclosed, Starfighters had $1.7 million in cash, $1.3 million in notes payable, and a negative $3.6 million book value.

On a cash flow basis, the company lost $4.6 million in fiscal 2023, compared to $1 million in 2022.

The valuation is based on future anticipated cash flow, but in its risks and disclosures section, Starfighters admits that “It will continue to incur increased net losses for the next several years and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.”

Space is a tough business.

On an individual basis, not one of Starfighters' market comps is profitable and all are down big since listing via SPACs:

Starfighters' big differentiator is that it is the only commercial company in the world that can fly at sustained MACH 2 speed and is planning to bid on a substantial portion of an upcoming $2.4 billion government contract for hypersonic test flights and launches.

The commercialization of space is a multi-billion-dollar opportunity, however, unless your timeline is very long or you like collecting obscure space stocks, I would stay away.

Quick Recap & Conclusion

• George Gilder's latest teaser consists of space, China, Russia, and one “Secret Supersonic Seven” Freedom Fighter Stock.
• The engineering that goes into developing and testing each hypersonic missile is literal rocket science, but one small company is streamlining this process.
• Its name is only disclosed in a new research report called, The Freedom Fighters: Protecting America’s Global Supremacy In the New Space-Based Cold War. The report is ours by subscribing to the Gilder’s Private Reserve newsletter for a steep price of $2,495.
• Green Bull readers got it for free – Starfighters Space Inc.
• Starfighters is a private company raising capital via a Reg A offering of common shares. Its hypersonic testing and launch platform is legit, but its valuation is in the stratosphere.
