SpaceX (SPCX) starts trading June 12 in the largest IPO in history, near $1.75 trillion. If you own an index fund, a 401(k), or a Roth, you may already own a piece. Tom Lydon breaks it down with Avery Marquez and Matt Kennedy of Renaissance Capital, the firm behind the first ETF built entirely from new public companies.
Inside: the size that breaks your intuition, why only a sliver of SpaceX actually floats, what it means for your retirement accounts, why the Nasdaq-100 moves fast while the S&P 500 waits a year, the volatility to brace for, and why this is a twenty-year bet rather than a trade.
