Going in at a few hundred shares. Fidelity. To infinity - and beyond!

When can the regular guy who doesn't get allocated or whatever buy shares? I'd like a couple thousand dollars worth for my Star Wars basket

I'm bearish if you are measuring success daily or monthly throughout the next 12 months.

Very bullish if you hold for 5-10 years. And I don't think it'll matter whether you got IPO shares or not. I think it's more symbolic than anything unless you're a short term holder trying to turn a quick buck.

This is the best attitude toward it, IMO.

Confirmed. Looks like I may still have the option to delete it, but I'm in.

Y'all post up when you get your shares and what percentage of your requested shares you got.

100%, it's like any other stock, its a gamble

Here is how I have wrapped my head around the gamble. If it tanks after it opens or in the next few months, it will likely be around 70% of the 135. But if it goes up, it could go up a crazy amount. So if you assume it is 50/50 as to whether it goes up or down, the downside and the upside have too wide of a variable to not pull the trigger.

I don't know if that's correct thinking for not, but I'm hoping I receive my full allocation.

I know this is just math but the idea that me and 1,000,000 other people could each put 1,000,000 bucks together and still not meet the valuation of this (or any other trillion dollar) company is literally incomprehensible. There are a ton of dollars out there.

And what about your thoughts for guys like me, who you helped get in on SpaceX at a fraction of the IPO value?!?

Very appreciative of the value you add, Jason. Thankful for your friendship, outside-the-box thinking, and level of service you provide!

Thanks for the plug! We did good on this one! But just wait until the Anthropic IPO thread!

I'm more interested in what happens to FCNTX by end of day tomorrow. IPO and retail shares could be icing on the cake

Edit: no fun staff #saddadface

I came out ahead, after a short hold on medline and robinhood ventures fund IPO. Received my SPCX allocation. We'll see what happens!

100% $SPCX allocation received. Elon followed thru with democratization of shares.

LFG!

Just FYI, Fidelity filled my order overnight at the full request.

Also for what it's worth; I'm bullish in the short-term, but I'm not a financial expert.

I got a little more than half of what I requested. I actually put in for double what I wanted, not expecting to get 100%.

So really I'm right where I want to be. Let's see what happens at 9:30!

Ended up getting 18% of what I asked for, so relatively few shares. Wonder if Fidelity prioritized giving everyone a slice. Good luck all

I'm with you. The market is flush with cash. Where was all this money 20 years ago? Is the explanation as simple as ZIRP (2008-2022) dumping money into investors hands?

You must have had a massive order request.

I put in for some shares. Not because I think it's a good investment but just for fun.

How do you see this? I confirmed my indication of interest with fidelity yesterday but I haven't seen anything since.

Just got my allocation from Fidelity. 25% of what I put in for. Don't know what that says about them, or me.

Saw this over on insta. Due to SpaceX employee equity program as many as 4000 employees could become millionaires today and even a few new billionaires. It's based on tenure and hours from the top all the way to janitors and cafeteria workers.

It's impossible to know for sure because there have been some internal buybacks offered and some internal selling at times.

Truly happy for these folks!

Got it. Just saw they gave me 66% of the shares I asked for. I'm surprised because I don't have much money with fidelity, and I didn't request that many shares.

My wild a** guess that I am not trading on is we see it go to 230 during the day before seeing some resistance as people go ahead and lock in those gains and then close around 180. Seems like there is too much attention for me to believe it will trade below 135 at any time today.

I am probably way off but I wanted to lock in my guess before the market opens. Hope you all do well with this investment.

Got 85/100 allocated in my Fidelity account.

Here's a question....how long do I have to get the cash into the account to cover the purchase? It's in my IRA, so I'll need to sell some other holdings to free up the cash. I have a few losers that I don't mind cutting lose. If I sell those today, will Fidelity take those proceeds to cover the SPCX purchase? Or will Fidelity see that there's no free cash in my account and pull my allocation?
