There's an old saying that's even older than re-usable rocket booster engines themselves: "Never bet against Elon Musk." I'm up 28% so far on SPCX. Once the lockout period ends I'll add significantly to the position. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Glad to hear someone is going to make money off of Space X.

From the web:

Employees and affiliates
SpaceX has about 22,000 employees and hundreds more who have left Inc.com. Many were paid in part with equity, and with the IPO, they can now sell their shares. The New York Times estimates that around 4,400 employees will become millionaires, and about 400 will make $100 million or moreInc.com. This means tens of thousands of employees now own SpaceX stock.

I’ve been hearing the space x prices are high , and the returns won’t be anywhere close to what has been expected, time will tell and the decision needs to be made buy now or wait six months , in 6 months prices could be higher orrr lower , I just don’t have that kind of expendable income to toss out there , it would be nice but I’ll stay with my medium base deals on penny trades and be poor .

I have no expendable income. Which is my main reason I don't try stocks.

y2k I lost big all of my built retirement, I played medium base low risk with some money I’ve been saving and I ended up at first 10g up, I paid my truck off 8g, now my portfolio is up 30g, so in a short time I’ve built back my truck money plus added 30 grand to it , it’s a wave that at times will drag the sand , but you’ll make it back plus the bonus when it’s high tide with a rip curl , you just stay on the board and ride it out ,
