Topic Summary

Then comes the main event on Friday morning. Nasdaq's market makers will begin matching buy and sell orders to find an opening price, a process that, for large, highly watched IPOs, can stretch well past the opening bell.

By Friday afternoon, the world's most valuable private company will be private no longer, and the market, not SpaceX, will set the price from then on.

Where the stock opens compared to its $135 offer price, and where the stock closes on the first day of trade, will provide judgment on whether SpaceX's market debut is an initial success.

SpaceX sets $135 IPO price ahead of Friday Nasdaq debut
 https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/article/spacex-sets-135-ipo-price-ahead-of-friday-nasdaq-debut-101955774.html

Fixed price not the usual range.  At $135 per share, SpaceX will raise around $75 billion and have an anticipated market capitalization of $1.78 trillion.
It will make Musk the world's first trillionaire.

SpaceX plans to sell 555.6 million shares to hit that $75 billion, with underwriters holding a "greenshoe," or option to sell additional shares if demand outstrips the initial allotment, of approximately 83 million shares worth around $11.2 billion. The company reportedly told investors it would stop taking orders Wednesday, a day earlier than usual, giving SpaceX and its bankers all of Thursday to determine who gets shares in the largest IPO ever.

The biggest open question is how much ends up with retail investors. SpaceX is reportedly targeting a retail allocation of roughly 30% — far above the 5% to 10% typical of most IPOs — but the final figure remains unsettled.

In addition, SpaceX's IPO shares are running four times oversubscribed which indicates strong demand; however, this amount is often inflated by institutional investors to make sure they receive enough stock for their clients. In actuality, demand could be less, adding to the uncertainty.

Night folks. It’s that time of year again where I’m following my precious grandchildren all around the country while they show their animals and bring home ribbons, plaques, banners, and trophies. It’s hot in those barns and I’m whipped. Today I stayed in the pool most of the day and that was so comfortable. They took off tonight for Murray, KY. I think I’m gonna sit this one out.

That will keep you busy!

Howdy CC. Most people don’t read my posts. That doesn’t bother me in the least. I know I’m wordy. I’ve been told. It’s ok, I understand and I’m good with it. I used to get TL/DR a lot. I’d laugh. I had an account on old Topix W&P for War and Peace.

He may have been the “aggressor”. I didn’t speak to that allegation. The fact remains Metcalf told him to get out of the tent and then either shoved him, pushed him, or in someway hit him. That feels like an act of aggression to me. But, perhaps it was merely a love pat. Anthony was in the tent because it was storming outside and he was seeking shelter. In that situation, I don’t see where it would hurt anyone to offer him shelter. He was not “banned” from sporting events. In fact he was scheduled for 2 events that day.

Anthony was a student athlete at his school and carried a 3.7 GPA. That doesn’t fit the criteria of a degenerate, trouble making, “punk”. I’m sure in the moment he wasn’t thinking about the consequences. He felt threatened and reacted to what he perceived as threats. No, he should not have had a weapon but I bet in these days and times many young people have hidden weapons. It doesn’t make his actions any less deplorable.

He didn’t try to deny what he had done. He owned it and openly confessed the moment he was caught. His concern at the time was for Metcalf. Now I’m sure anyone can twist his actions and claim it was all for show but I don’t believe it was. He was provoked and afraid.

I’m not an advocate for solving your issues with violence but I do understand fear. Metcalf had a good 40 pounds on him. Anthony was a lightweight 160 pounder. Metcalf was a linebacker which means he was strong. Anthony knew that. Regardless of the perceived rules on the tents, what exactly is the harm in letting another person have a bit of space and comfort in the middle of a thunderstorm? Anthony’s team for whatever reason, failed to bring a tent that day.

The whole situation is horrible! Where I see a frightened young man, you see a “punk”. Someone you feel unworthy of compassion. There’s just far too much hatred among young people. I certainly can’t fix it. I don’t condone murder. However, I also don’t condone pure hatred towards another especially when your life is not affected one tiny bit by their actions.
