Any guesses on how high SPCX goes today and also price at close.


I have a friend who worked on financings for Tesla when he was at Goldman, and Elon was known for pushing the limits on terms to maximize proceeds to the company. The best outcome for the company and underwriters is that this trades slightly up to flat.

Another interesting thing here is that they announced a 4x oversubscribed book but didn't raise the offering price. That tells me that there were likely a lot of funds that put in orders that they knew they wouldn't get and that allocable demand was considerably lower than the headline subscription number.

Looks like I got 15 shares of the 178 I requested on Schwab. Not what I was hoping for, but it is something at least.

This isn't what I signed up for. Up, down, I was expecting drama of some kind.

I got 13 of 135 in brokerage, 12 of 97 in my Roth, and my kid with ~$1,400 total account value in his custodial account got 10 of 10. WTF is that?

Secondary market first I believe. Won't go live on Nasdaq till they find a reasonable trade level I think.

Fidelity site seems bogged down.

We requested more than 10000 shares and got probably 500 total.

But many of our clients are already in at around a $30/sh basis. So not too concerned!

Anybody have any thoughts on the emerging Spacex ETFs as a place to put the unused cash for the shares I didn't get?

Through Schwab, requested 100 and got 12.

Wooooooo!

At least it is better than the 1 share trolls that Robinhood is doing

Sounds like Fidelity was the way to go for this one

I have been with Fidelity for over 3 decades. I wonder if that had any bearing on them giving me my full request which wasn't much at 100 shares but still.

Does anybody know about the selling restrictions on Schwab as far as future IPO blacklisting? I didn't see anything stated anywhere through the process or FAQs about flipping your shares.

I'm reading stuff saying it might be later in the day until you see active trading. Don't really know why, but financial webpages still show $135 with no activity.

Most IPOs don't start trading until well into the afternoon of their listing day.

Bankers are matching orders to make sure there's enough volume to smooth out spikes... SOP.

The IPO Clock Doesn't Start at 10:00 A.M.

Many investors assume that if an IPO is scheduled to begin trading at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, shares will automatically change hands at that exact moment. That's not how the process works.

SpaceX's IPO was quoted around 9:50 a.m. ET, but Nasdaq still needed to complete its opening auction before any shares could trade. The exchange gathers buy and sell orders, evaluates demand, and determines a price that balances the market.

At approximately 9:50 a.m., Nasdaq released its first indications -- preliminary estimates of where the stock might open. For SpaceX, those indications came in around $175 per share.

Can transact billions of trades but we have old fashioned horse and buggy auctions for shares until lunchtime

Balancing buy and sell orders now per quick X research.

This is my 1st pre-IPO acquisition so I am soaking up every tidbit of data from everywhere.

Guesses are $175-$190 at start. $250 peak before end of day.
