SpaceX IPO

[r_victory]

You don't need to bet everything on the company, but investing in it could be interesting and potentially profitable in the long run. It is a market that captures people's imaginations, and the "conquest" of space is something that has been pursued for decades and shows no signs of stopping. I believe it is worth owning some shares.

The price is falling back to reality after the exciting IPO. I’ve got orders in for a couple hundred more shares at the IPO price if it falls that low. If we go sub-$100 I may find myself liquidating some other assets to throw a Hail Mary on this company. The moon is just the beginning…

The first Starship flight test as a publicly traded company is taking place today. The launch window opens in about 6 hours. Definitely find your way to YouTube to watch that one live. It should be the final flight test before they try to catch both the booster and Starship with the launch towers.

The point I want to discuss here can be kinda off-topic, but still, it's regarding SpaceX.

I wanted to discuss some points on the current situation regarding the SpaceX stock price and some other points as well. Some days ago i reaad news headline that SpaceX's market cap lost almost over 1 trillion in just a month. This is insane and a huge drop just in a month, and that also points out that Elon Musk lost his trillionaire position because of this. Do you know why the SpaceX market dropped this way?

Well, today I was watching a new video on social media from which I came to know that China has also tested its very first rocket launch, and it was a successful test on the first try. Meaning that SpaceX now have its competitor in the market, which can be a challenging thing for SpaceX company. What do you think regarding this matter?

You compare a 1st start with a company which is preparing a moon, mars launch?

The current share float is very small. Hedge funds are taking advantage of that by heavily shorting the stock causing the price to fall below the IPO. They are doing this so that when employee share unlocks happen, they can buy shares from those employees at the lowest possible prices. This is a game that will likely continue for the next year, before the stock goes to the moon on an S&P inclusion next June. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it hit $80 per share, but I’ll be buying the entire way down.

I didn't start buying yet, but I plan to do so.

When the employees start selling I will consider buying ( I think they have a 6month and 1 year lock-up, as far as I know). It is already $120. I think $80 is a much safer zone, but lets see how much it will get in 5 months... too much hyper for now.

I don't believe now is the time as the price still has not found its bottom yet; it will go lower.  Things are different now with this being a public company.  When it was private, there were looser timelines regarding revenue.  However, now being beholden to shareholders, the revenue timelines will be tighter with quarter to quarter expectations.  Also, this may need to be reigned in sooner than later- the SpaceX Starship has been launched 12 times, with 7 successes and 5 failures, which is a 58.3% success rate.

I don’t think there have been any Starship failures. Lessons were learned and improvements were made with each launch. It continues to advance and we will see a demonstration of those advancements this week. In a few months we will see them catch the booster and Starship. By the end of next year I am sure we will see Starship land equipment on the moon. Within a decade, Mars. I want to be a part of that. I bought more today.

I think the company is great. It already changed space exploration possibilities.

The problem is the current price compares to its rrevenue.you might hold a lot of time in red or with bad returns entering now.

There have indeed been failures.  What you may think vs the facts are 2 different things:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Starship_launches

As there are reasons for optimism, there are also fair reasons for skepticism.
