You don't have to believe. If you have a 401k you will be an investor 15 days after launch. The IPO will go great, because the company will float a fairly small issuance. The big shareholders will not immediately sell. They will hold on and maybe even buy to support the price. Then, after 15 days, it will enter the indexes and everyone's 401k will start auto-buying this stock. You might say this is an obvious flaw in…

Do the ETF managers have no discretion in determining when to buy? I was under the impression that they usually handle these changes to indices gradually even under normal circumstances.

This is absolutely vile. The xAi merger made no sense and this is forcing working class people into purchasing risky assets from a known scammer.

What's in the SpaceX Files and why aren't they already public?

Details of alien encounters and abductions, paranormal and psychic phenomena, as well as crypto-zoology and curious human abilities.

reads headline again

Oh. Probably all the money burnt in AI training and data centers.

Only NASDAQ so far; S&P 500 is apparently "reviewing its rules" but hasn't changed them yet. So you've got a full year to wait on that index fund, assuming they don't cave.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Trying to dump on the market before the bubble pops.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. This is exactly what is happening and why OpenAI is trying to IPO to dump their garbage as well.

maybe it's the histrionics? Thse personalities are inevitably inflating their own balloons in order to cash out, but that doesn't mean the reality is these companies are worthless. The downvotes come from comments like "OpenAI is trying to dump their garbage". At best that's a silly thing to say. We can argue "fair market value" but it's not zero.

Ever since SNAP the whole IPO show has been a transparent scam to game the index funds.

The market simply doesn’t have enough people actively investing because it rewards mass stupidity over generating meaningful returns.
