<p>nah the very worst thing about the spacex ipo is that schwab won't allow me to short it.  has nothing to do with the recency of the issue.  today i shorted some skhy when i realized it's trading about 30% over the Korean share price (I could be wrong about that)</p>

<p>soooo good that they'll burn up one day and this nonsense can finally end.<p>investors provide infinite capital to nonsense projects so that the showman can create an endless show that will attract new nonsense capital.<p>sorry but already in rural morocco they have 200 mbit internet for 20 bucks a month.  Yes there are some 6 wheeled vehicles roaming the planet that might really benefit from these 100k satellites. but for 99.9% of everyone else?  we're good!</p>

<p>None of that really matters.<p>What matters is that this has enough "future story value" to keep the few investors invested... allowing for the planned index funds to buy into the overvalued stock & allowing for the largest heist in the history of money.<p>It's become pure hype and drama on the global stock market stage.</p>
