- Fidelity is making SpaceX IPO shares available to retail investors with as little as $2,000, a significant reduction from previous requirements. The author views this as exposing the public to an overvalued company to artificially support the IPO and potentially destabilize broader market systems. This move could signal speculative froth and a potential risk to the broader market if the IPO falters.
Fidelity has announced that it is making the SpaceX IPO available to any customer with a retail brokerage account with $2,000 or more in the account (down from up to $500k before).
"SpaceX has decided to reserve a much higher percentage of the offering (up to 30%), which means there should be more shares available to retail clients, which is why we have decided to reduce IPO eligibility for this offering."
This is deliberately exposing the general public to the most overvalued company in the history of the stock market in order to prop up an IPO that jailbreaks the entire index/pension/retirement fund system.
