ACTION: Call your financial manager about SpaceX IPO ASAP
-
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

More Background: Gizmodo | Wall Street Is Already Bending Its Rules to Suck More People Into SpaceX’s IPO
SpaceX [will get] added to major indexes shortly after its IPO... [giving] regular people exposure to Musk’s currently unprofitable company through their retirement accounts...
That is a huge shift from how IPOs have traditionally been handled...
After the dot-com crash, index administrators started putting guardrails in place...
Wall Street Is Already Bending Its Rules to Suck More People Into SpaceX’s IPO
New index fund rules could mean ordinary investors end up owning a piece of SpaceX whether they want to or not.

@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.
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?"

@mastodonmigration I left the stock market and went into something more secure, less risky, in 2016.

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...

@mastodonmigration thanks for putting this together, will need to stop hyperventilating before proceeding

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.

"Right. So. The Nasdaq-100 used to require a seasoning period - newly listed companies waited anywhere from three months to a year before getting swept into the index. The idea being: let the price actually get discovered. Let float build. Don’t force $527 billion in ETF assets to mechanically pile into something that went public last Tuesday... That rule? *poof* Gone with the wind"

@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. -
