ACTION: Call your financial manager about SpaceX IPO ASAP
-
@Bowreality @mastodonmigration @Pinchy63 We do not have IRAs and 401ks here in Canada AFAIK.
Though, if your pension fund (or RSP/RRSP) has the Nasdaq listed it's possible. Only way to find out would be to ask I suppose.

ACTION: Call your financial manager about SpaceX IPO ASAP
Background: SpaceX has filed to go public at a grossly overvalued $1.8 Trillion. The fundamentals in no way justify inclusion in index funds, BUT NASDAQ rules were CHANGED so that it will be included. As a result 401Ks and IRAs will AUTOMATICALLY buy the stock, giving this worthless company your money. It is the greatest grift of all time.
To Do: Contact your financial firm immediately. More below...

Another source:
> the NASDAQ stock market just changed its rules around how it organizes its index of important firms, the NASDAQ 100, to allow SpaceX to get in early. Many index funds automatically mimic the Nasdaq-100, which means that NASDAQ is ensuring that huge amounts of investor capital will flow into the company. Virtually every investor in America will end up owning a piece, whether they like it or not. Companies used to have to trade for three months, now it’s just 15 days. And the company had to have at least 10% of its shares publicly trade, but that’s no longer a requirement.

@Javensbukan @mastodonmigration @Pinchy63 Yeah I was wondering if there is anything about Canadian funds defaulting to buy crap like that as it was boosted by a Canadian.
I have limited US (and tech, because AI) stocks in my funds as much as possible. However, it seems impossible to invest in a balanced portfolio with 0% US in the limited selection of funds we get to pick from. It’s part of my benefits program so I can only pick what they offer in the plan.

@Bowreality @mastodonmigration @Pinchy63 Yeah basically the same here. I think mine is something like 95% Canadian buuuut that's as about as domestic as I could get it without doing it all on my own, and I do not have the time or knowledge to do that

@mastodonmigration luckily I don't need to call my financial manager because I don't have one. I manage my finances on my own since 1988 and it's at least a couple of decades Im not invested in funds. Just plain stocks, bonds and a thematic etf on water atm.

@Javensbukan @mastodonmigration @Pinchy63 I get a list of funds to pick from. The selection is mine. I got about the same. Around 95% of non-US now. But even funds in the “Canadian” category have 1% US for example. I also got international ones in the mix and there is a portion USA included. The only “Global” labelled fund was something like 37% USA and heavy on tech. Didn’t pick that. (1/3)

The AI bubble is a concern for me.
I also wish the details would be better on what “industry” is. They only list the top 10 companies. I would like some funds that are heavy on defence as I think these are going to start churning. (2/3)

@Javensbukan @mastodonmigration @Pinchy63Outside of benefits I invest directly in stocks and heavily in Canadian defence. My best pick so far was TeleSat which went from $34 last year around this time (when I purchased) to $80 now. (3/3)

Financial News: A Danish pension fund has blacklisted SpaceX, calling it grossly overvalued with catastrophic governance "...concerns echo those of far larger institutions. In May, the heads of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, the New York City Retirement Systems, and the New York State Common Retirement Fund, which collectively manage more than $1 trillion, sent a joint letter to Musk calling SpaceX’s governance “extreme.” https://thenextweb.com/news/danish-pension-spacex-blacklist-governance-overvalued #SpaceX #SpaceXIPO

New index fund rules could mean ordinary investors end up owning a piece of SpaceX whether they want to or not.

It looks like CAGE will filter out SpaceX based on its inclusion criteria. It's similar to VEQT but has filters for profitability and is weighted slightly away from the mega high cap companies.

Draft script: "I am very concerned about the SpaceX IPO. I understand funds I own may soon automatically be forced to buy stock in this grossly overvalued company with horrendous corporate governance concerns. I am requesting an urgent meeting to spell out for me any exposure. I am sharing this article, and would appreciate you pass it on to your analysts and be prepared to discuss the details with me. Can we set up a call for tomorrow?"

Agreed. It is one thing to understand what they are up to. Another thing entirely to figure out what, if anything, to do in response.

@mastodonmigration I pulled all our money out of our traditional IRA and put it in a 401k CD at our bank. I was also able to roll over my pension fund. Thank goodness. Staying in stocks and index funds etc was too risky for me.

I did that also back in the early 2000s when everything was so volatile. The stock market is just gambling, IMO. -
