You may want to keep an eye on $AAPL this week....
Price is now breaching the 200 Week EMA at $177
It has been nearly a decade since it closed a Weekly Candle below the 200w 👀

Weekly addition to my son’s portfolio.
I normally allocate 75% to the S&P 500 and 25% to rare earths, materials, and minerals. This week I went 50/50, as the rare earth has pulled back and I wanted to take advantage of the weakness.
Long-term investing is about staying disciplined while being willing to lean into opportunities when they appear.

The real pain isn’t volatility.
It’s opportunity cost.
If you invested at the COVID-era highs, not only did you experience massive swings, but you also missed one of the strongest runs in $SPY history.
Everyone is talking about the SpaceX IPO, but I think it’s a good opportunity to discuss what an IPO actually is and why valuation matters. 🧵
1/ An IPO (Initial Public Offering) is when a private company sells shares to the public for the first time and lists on a stock exchange.
It allows early investors, employees and founders to realise some value while also raising capital for future growth.
2/ Before an IPO, investment banks work with management to determine a valuation and offering price.
This is where investing starts to become interesting.
A great company does not automatically make a great investment.
Price matters.
3/ In most IPOs, institutional investors receive the majority of the allocation.
Retail investors often get access later, after the initial pricing has already been set.
4/ Once trading begins, the market decides whether the company was priced correctly.
If demand is strong, shares can surge.
If expectations are unrealistic, shares can fall regardless of how good the business is.
5/ Which brings us to SpaceX.
There is no doubt that SpaceX is one of the most impressive companies ever built.
It has transformed the economics of space launches, built Starlink into a global communications platform, and has enormous long-term optionality. (ETF & UCITS Fund Manager | VanEck)
6/ However, investors should separate the quality of the business from the attractiveness of the investment opportunity.
Recent reports suggest a valuation around $1.75 trillion, making it one of the largest IPOs in history. (MarketWatch)
7/ At that valuation, investors are already paying for a significant amount of future success.
Many analysts have highlighted concerns around valuation multiples and governance structure. (MarketWatch)
8/ Another point worth noting is that the IPO structure itself has been somewhat unconventional.
SpaceX has adjusted allocation rules, expanded retail participation, and adopted structures that differ from traditional IPOs. (Business Insider)
9/ None of this means the stock will perform poorly.
In fact, it may do extremely well.
But investing is about probability and risk-adjusted returns, not simply buying the best company.
10/ My view?
SpaceX is an exceptional business.
I’m just not convinced the current valuation and IPO structure provide enough margin of safety for me as an investor.
Great company.
Potentially great stock.
Not necessarily a great buy at any price.
What are your thoughts on the SpaceX IPO?
You know you’ve levelled up as an investor when market dumps stop scaring you and start exciting you.
Instead of panic, you see opportunity.
Instead of selling, you’ve cash ready to deploy.
The biggest gains are often made when everyone else is fearful.
Be that investor 🫵
