WILL SPACEX'S IPO BE THE LARGEST EXIT LIQUIDITY EVENT EVER ENGINEERED?
SpaceX reserved up to 30% of its IPO for retail investors, compared to the typical 5–10% allocation seen in most offerings.
Meanwhile, Fidelity just cut its minimum account requirement from $500,000 to just $2,000. A 99.6% reduction opening the door to millions of retail.
Short-term selling is heavily discouraged: investors who flip IPO shares within 15 days face a 6-month ban, rising to 1 year for a second offense and a permanent ban after a third.
At a reported $1.675 trillion valuation, SpaceX could generate more liquidity for insiders than most VC-backed IPOs of the last decade combined.
Is this the democratization of the biggest IPO in history or the LARGEST retail absorption event ever seen?
this scene is genuinely terrifying at first, but the chase goes on for so long that it ends up being funnier than it is frightening, and THAT is the genius of #WidowsBay—the way it teeters, very deliberately, at the tipping point between horror and comedy.
