2026 investments

Currently wishing I hadn't chickened out and drastically reduced my ipo allocation to peanuts haha. We'll see if that's still true though by the end of the 15 day period where you get docked if you flip with fidelity
 
I got my 50 shares filled at 160.00
I will look to buy much more in 6 months.

Because of how this is handled I don't think it will be crazy volatile

And I.just like the whole colonize Mars thing :-)

So you got the IPO shares at $130 and sold immediately once they started trading?
 
It's multiple already assumes it's going to be the next Google or better. I'd be a little wary of future iterations of the federal government that is not so friendly to the industry as a whole or the company and stop giving them fixed cost contracts on the downside with cost-plus on the upside.
What you posted has been happening for awhile. All depends how much it gets published. Been wrong the whole time but no one seems to take it more serious than point to when someone else does it, so it isnt going to change any time in my life most likely.
 
I read too many message boards on how Tesla was bankrupt and never going to succeed, and missed out on buying it at $17. If I would have spent $5k on Tesla stock, it would be worth $176,000 today.

Lately with my investing (play money), I've been using the reverse reddit/message board strategy, which has worked out pretty well so far.
The value of tesla today is being held up by the future of the Optimus robot. The odds are they will be one of three survivors to build usable robots.

Also, don't be surprised if Tesla is merged in SpaceX within 5 years

Does SpaceX have a significant competitive advantage? Yes - they are the #1 launcher, like 80% lower cost than #2. And its not something easy to catch up with, like phone app software - serious "moat".

But the valuation... everything has to go right and come true for like 25 years for the valuation to make sense. It's like buying Boardwalk and Park Place, but paying $10,000 for it (in monopoly money).

I think SpaceX can be an incredible success, and yet be a terrible investment.
Much shorter than 25 years. More like 5 years if they hit expected volume.
 
I would never knowingly buy anything associated with him. Working class people helping the trillionaire is bizarre.
Spacex just made roughly 5,000 factory workers (out of 22,000 employees) very wealthy today. There will be janitors that their net worth is $5 million today if they have worked there for 10+ years.

We have people on this board upset that a guy made a lot of money on this business. While at the same time complaining that we don’t have a multi billionaire who can fund our college athletic program like other programs. We can’t be upset that we don’t really have any and then complain when people become one.
 
Just saw a list of some of the places people invest money. Gold has more money invested in it than the next 5 places combined. I use mutual funds mostly.
 
Sold half my shares of SpaceX at $199. I'm sure I'll regret that, but when I heard it was being valued above Microsoft and Amazon, I chickened out. Nice 48% gain in a week.
Someone check my math. If SpaceX rises by 1800% (Tesla did this in 7 years) it will have a larger market cap than the total of all stocks listed on the NYSE (roughly todays value)
 
TSLA falling would now help Musk in his long term goal of combining SpaceX and Tesla. He has something like 85% voting power at SpaceX and only 20% at Tesla. So if a bigger SpaceX acquires/merges to Tesla, then he will likely hold a healthy majority of voting power in the combined company.

That company would be no different than the conglomerate Alphabet has become. SpaceX could use Tesla's FCF as well!

Tesla's value when it IPO'd was around 1.7 billion. This would make it not even one of the top 3000 most valuable companies in the world. It would be considered a small cap company.
