Everyone wants their hands on SpaceX IPO $SPCX

But IPOs rarely reward the first buyer.

Median 1-year return: -31%
Median drawdown: -53%

@SlopeOfHope asked for 1000 shares of $SPCX at the IPO. That would have been $135,000. He figured it was a sure thing.

He got 48 shares. Most of his friends got one. He sold all 48, made about $1300, and is done with SpaceX for now. The allocation was a little disappointing.

Nearly 100 cars were impounded by LAPD during a meetup in the Los Angeles River near Cypress Park.

Many people in attendance insist it was only a photo meet and not a street takeover or race.

In May 1944, 23-year-old Phyllis Latour jumped out of a US bomber and parachuted into occupied Normandy, France. Her mission was to gather information about Nazi positions in preparation for D-Day. Once on the ground, she quickly buried her parachute and clothes, and began a secret mission that would last four months, pretending to be a poor teenage French girl.

Phyllis had been trained by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). She learned how to send secret messages in Morse code, how to fix wireless radios, and how to spy without being caught. She also went through tough physical training in the Scottish highlands. Phyllis wanted to get revenge on the Nazis who had killed her godfather.

Phyllis said, “The men who had been sent before me were caught and killed. I was chosen because I would be less suspicious.” She would ride a bicycle through the region, pretending to sell soap, and secretly pass messages to the British about German locations. She acted like a country girl chatting with German soldiers to avoid raising suspicion. She moved from place to place to stay hidden and often slept in forests finding her own food.

Phyllis also came up with a clever way to hide her secret codes. She wrote them on a piece of silk and pricked it with a pin each time she used a code. She kept it hidden inside a hair tie. Once when the Germans briefly detained her and searched her she took out the hair tie and let her hair fall, showing she had nothing to hide. In the summer of 1944, Phyllis sent 135 coded messages helping Allied bombers find German targets.

After the war, Phyllis married and moved to New Zealand. Her children didn’t know about her wartime service until 2000, when her oldest son found out online. This hero passed on October 7, 2023. May she rest In peace.

OFFICE SPACE (1999) went from box office disappointment to cultural vocabulary. Fox never really figured out how to sell it. Few comedies have captured the soul-crushing absurdity of office life perfectly that people are still quoting it decades later
