S&P 500: No Fast Track For SpaceX (cont)
If S&P is serious about not removing the profitability requirement, it's very possible that SpaceX will never meet eligibility requirements for the S&P 500.
This is absolutely catastrophic for Musk and Nasdaq's Mega-Cap Squeeze (https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116693970097030371) as it likely requires the huge pool of S&P backed index funds forced purchases to keep the squeeze going.
It will be interesting to see what happens now with Nasdaq, Russell and CRSP
@mastodonmigration thanks.

S&P 500: No Fast Track For SpaceX (cont)
"S&P consulted with investors about shortening the time a megacap company must be publicly listed before joining its indexes, waiving minimum float requirements and removing its profitability requirement."
"The S&P 500 is Wall Street's most widely followed benchmark. Passive S&P 500 index funds with trillions of dollars in assets would have been forced to buy up SpaceX shares had rules been changed to admit it to the index."

@mastodonmigration are you soaked in champagne?
-
Oh you still do!
Nasdaq (QQQ), Russell and CRSP backed indexes (including the super popular Vanguard Large Cap Index) still have the fast track rules. In the case of CRSP they will be forced to buy 5 days after the IPO.
@mastodonmigration @jeremy_degroot
So one method would be to simply choose medium cap, yes?

YAY!!!!!!
a huge relief to those of us who are too tired and/or too disabled to lose our retirement because there's no going back to work & getting it back...

@mastodonmigration @jeremy_degroot
but for those of us in an S&P index fund, it's a breath of relief

BREAKING FINANCIAL NEWS: Reuters | SpaceX blocked from early US benchmark index entry as S&P reaffirms existing rules
THIS IS A HUGE VICTORY FOR INVESTORS AND YOUR RETIREMENT
"S&P Global said on Thursday it was not changing the requirements for entry into its major indices, dealing a setback to Elon Musk's SpaceX by effectively ruling out a swift entry for the world's biggest-ever IPO into the benchmark S&P 500 index."

@mastodonmigration Well, that saves me from a bunch of very hurried 401(k) reallocation this weekend.
Still, might be time to move to a nice European-market index.

@mastodonmigration That is great news; I might have had to sell some of my retirement investments otherwise. If they hadn't done this, the index funds would have had to buy at the peak of the hype, and then everyone who invested in index funds would have a significant loss once the hype fades and the market figures out a more realistic price.

@mastodonmigration Guess I still have to make sure that I don't have anything in a fund that plans to buy SpaceX.

Medium Cap and Value are probably safe. As are Ex-US international Funds

QQQ is Nasdaq and it will fast track SpaceX
@mastodonmigration @skewray Exactly. This is that Geordi image expressing disgust at QQQ (the symbol for the Invesco QQQ index fund, which tracks the NASDAQ 100) and approval of SPX (the symbol for the S&P 500 index).
SpaceX’s intended symbol will be SPCX.

Got it. Completely agree.
Now it is important to focus our ire on Nasdaq, CRSP and Russell.
Check out this smug bastard. NASDAQ CEO Nelson Griggs knows just what he's doing...
