Vibes were off.



The hydraulic pin holding the tower arm in place did not retract.

Rumour has it that Elon has similar issues...


Just over 15 minutes to launch!!!


Works for me, I got a successful launch AND an explosion.



Starship landing burn. SpaceX showing off with a nice pirouette at the end. Looks like it came through reentry in great condition!


Rip Blue Origin New Glenn flight 4. The static fire didn't go as planned.

I think Amazon Prime rates are going up.


The SpaceX IPO interest portals are open at Fidelity and probably Schwab and Robinhood! Price is $135/share Will be monsterously oversubscribed.

GL!

Yup, my guru that knows all things Spacex (early investor with quite a few shares) tells me that Robinhooders looking for ipo will get 2 shares, and pay $60 over the ipo price for the privilege.

Said about Walmart, Microsoft, Amazon...

SpaceX at $135 is a screaming good deal. Not for Grandma's fixed retirement account but a great addition to a diversified portfolio.

With how the ducks are quacking, IPO shares are free money. Problem is getting a decent allocation.

I hear closer to the end of this year. Elon wants the companies combined asap. Spacex wants to use stuff that only Tesla has, and while the ip would hardly be much of a secret, there could be shareholder lawsuits if he just gave it to Spacex.

I bet gramma would be happy to get a pile of Spacex unless she dies quick, in a few years.

One way to get Spacex stock is to have Tesla stock. A takeover is likely to be a stock swap.

The word is the ipo will start trading in the 190 area. If you get a Robinhood allocation, it will have a 20% "please screw me" charge on top of the ipo price.

If you want the $135 price, these are the retail brokerages offering shares:
Fidelity Investments
Charles Schwab
Robinhood
SoFi
Morgan Stanley E*TRADE

With that said, it is lol-tbd how much anyone is going to get. Now if you have a friend that works at SpaceX, they may be able to hook you up with "friends of the company" IPO shares.

Schwab has said you need at least $200k in your Schwab accounts. Do you qualify McLovin?

Here's an interesting video. It's both exciting and terrifying at the same time at what a god-like person Musk might become.


Fidelity is $2k. I don't know the others. I doubt that Schwab is that high for this IPO.

I just spoke with Charles Schwab about the
@SpaceX
IPO. Schwab is one of a handful of brokerages selected by SpaceX to allocate IPO shares to retail investors.

If you have an account with Schwab, here’s how to prepare for the SpaceX IPO:

1) You first need to opt into IPOs from the Trade > IPOs page on Schwab's website.

2) After you've opted in and the IPO shows on the page, you can submit an Indication of Interest. The indication of interest will be able to be submitted when the Roadshow period begins for the stock. This is currently expected to be early June.

3) You need to have minimum $100,000 in total balance to be eligible to participate in the SpaceX IPO share allocation.

Schwab still doesn't know how many shares will be allocated to their brokerage at this point since SpaceX will be the one to decide that in the coming weeks. Just be prepared to check back on the IPO section of Schwab's website. Additional info will come later.

Lastly, don’t be surprised if you receive fewer IPO shares than you requested (if any at all). Demand for the limited number of available IPO shares will almost certainly be extremely high, and these participating brokerages will only get a certain sized allocation of shares to offer to retail investors, so it'll likely be tough to accommodate everyone. The best thing you can do is to just be prepared.

Note: SpaceX specifically stated in their S-1 filing that any purchase of their Class A common stock in this offering through these platforms will be at the same IPO price, and at the same time, as any other purchases in this offering, including purchases by institutions and other large investors, which means any retail investors that are lucky enough to get allocated some SpaceX IPO shares will pay the same price as the big guys.
