On the recent Spacex IPO news…the mutual fund BPTRX has a ~30% holding in SpaceX. I’ve owned it since 2019.

You can own spacex now. You don’t have to wait for IPO. There is a large management fee of 1.5% I believe but it’s worth it if that’s the only way to invest in spacex, for the average retail investor at least. The fund can appear to underperform the market for most of the year but its SpaceX position gets repriced twice a year. The last repricing was last Friday and the fund was up 20%. I have a $50,000 position.

Additionally, if you own at least $40,000, you get an invite to their annual investment conference in NYC where Elon musk is regularly a guest speaker. I went this year and heard him talk. Last year Gwyneth Shotwell, COO of SpaceX spoke on stage. They also give out free swag in the form of clothing/bags (made by Figgs, one of their investments) and there are concert/comedian performances for lunch and then a surprise performance for the end. This year it was Pink. Last year it was Michael Buble.
