      I wouldn’t be surprised if the opposite happened given how this gimp’s companies are known for being divorced from the fundamentals.

    After briefly pushing SpaceX’s market value close to $3 trillion, investors have begun reassessing whether the stock’s rapid advance can be justified by fundamentals.

    Nothing in the stock market has been about fundamentals for a very long time. Especially regarding Musk companies.

        The entire fundamentals game was broken back in around 2012 when, in the aftermath of the 2008 Crash, Central Bank meetings setting interest rates became more important in setting the direction the Stock Market took (up if they lowered interest rates, down if they did not) than fundamentals.

        It just so happens that the period when Uber rose coincided with that period of high interventionism by Central Banks which lasted almost a decade since their solutions for the 2008 Crash did not address the underlying causes and the recovery following that Crash was one of the slowest post-Crash recoveries ever (in fact, Interest Rates and GDP Growth are still not back to their historical trends).

        It wasn’t Uber who broke the Financial System’s reflection of real wealth creation, it was Zero Interest Rate Policy flooding the Economy with pretty much free money and Too Big To Fail meaning that certain Financial Institutions could do every Financial Crime they felt like and never really be punished for it and take any risk they felt like because Central Bank money was always there in the background to save them if they went too far.

    $185 is still way above the already ridiculous IPO price of $135. If this market made any sense, it wouldn’t have gotten this high in the first place, but since we’re here, it should really continue dropping. However, knowing how this market is, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is just a momentary dip before going back up for some dumb made-up reason.

    Oh look, the completely expected and basically dependable event that happens after EVERY IPO, happened. Anyone jumping on an initial IPO is a fucking idiot. They always go under.

    They might eventually still make it back to be profitable if they wait months or even years… or they could have waited a few weeks and bought the inevitable dip and never been underwater in the first place, making more profit.

    That’s a weird way of saying a stock started at $135 and is now at $181 a week later, but some people bought it when it was higher than that for a few days.

    I mean seriously? I want spacx to fail super hard and musk to get completely dumped on, but this amount of volatility is completely typical when well known companies start an IPO. It sucks it’s like 35% higher than the initial offering price.

      This company can NEVER take the financial trajectory they planned for it. Their revenue is dogshit, and when the AI part of the company goes down the drain, even Musk wont be able to salvage the wreckage.

    Saying the average buyer is almost underwater is another way of saying that the average buyer has made a profit.
