I looked hard at trying to get in early on SPCX. My problem is the money that Gates, Bezos, and other rich azzes have to control regulations through Congress. Elon has got the juice but can NASA and others resist his momentum? I’ll wait a little while to see how this explodes. At 74 I won’t live long enough to probably know. If I was 25 I’d be all in and broke, I’m old with a little money and to few years to chase it. Maybe. Good luck everyone. Musk has a great shot at this, so we’ll see.
I’m same age as you. I’m amazed at what this company has done in a short amount of time. The sense of urgency is incredible. When they first started, I figured they were going nowhere and spaceflight was entirely the domain of governments. Boy, was I wrong. SpaceX launched 90% of all tonnage to orbit the past 12 months.
I have an order in for 15 shares, mainly to give to kids, SILs and grandson. I figure they can have fun with their shares watching them grow and pay attention to the company.
I bought three shares. But I put a stupid limit at $135 because I thought that’s what the starting IPO was going to be. I believe somebody here said that. now I believe I’m not gonna get any because it’s probably gonna go higher than that. I made a huge mistake.
When does it come out?
