Elon Musk is on the brink of becoming a trillionaire, and many SpaceX employees are set for significant financial gains through an initial public offering (IPO). Individual investors are enthusiastic about purchasing shares at the $135 opening price. The demand is so high that some brokerages are organizing lotteries for this opportunity.
Experiencing fear of missing out (FOMO) is common. However, it’s sensible to consider the joy of missing out (JOMO) as a viable alternative. SoFi, a brokerage firm, provides diverse perspectives on joining IPOs. In previous years, they have alternated between encouraging investor participation and cautioning against FOMO-driven decisions.
Investors opting in might succeed in buying at $135 and selling at a higher price, assuming they are not restricted by lockup periods or penalized by brokerages. This strategy often requires significant risk-taking for substantial gains.
Long-term investors face unpredictability regarding future stock values. The price-to-sales ratio for SpaceX, indicating stock price relative to annual sales, appears high. Morningstar values SpaceX stock at $63. If their analysis holds true, missing the chance to purchase at $135 may not be regrettable.
