The Nasdaq Changed Its Rules Weeks Before the Biggest IPO in History
Nasdaq changed its rules in March 2026. New stocks used to need three months of trading history before entering the Nasdaq-100. They cut it to 15 trading days. SpaceX filed its IPO weeks later and listed today at $135 a share. The consequence is automatic. Every fund tracking the Nasdaq-100 …
Green energy is growing a lot in China, but it is woke in the US.
Reading the SpaceX marketing pitch, I like that it shows that energy production in the US is not growing as fast as China (and we know why, US torpedo green energy growth for political reasons), so the absolutely only logical solution is to go to space instead. The supply shortfall …

A 0.9% index weight just triggered up to $1.75B in forced buying, and the stock dropped anyway
Index inclusion is one of the few genuinely scheduled events in markets. When a name gets added, every fund tracking that index has to buy it, on a known date, whether the manager likes the price or not. The Hang Seng Tech Index just added two Chinese AI companies, Zhipu …
Is my retirement account taking a plunge because of AI????
