Former Goldman Sachs analyst questions multiple rule changes before SpaceX IPO, implying retail investors may become "bagholders"
BlockBeats News, June 7 — Former Goldman Sachs analyst Dom Kwok expressed strong caution regarding the upcoming SpaceX IPO. He pointed out several coincidences occurring in the week before the IPO:
The U.S. PDT (Intraday Trading Restriction) rule was lifted, and retail investors are no longer limited by a minimum account balance of $25k to trade intraday freely;
Fidelity lowered the minimum account threshold to participate in the SpaceX IPO from $500k to $2,000;
The underwriters announced that during the IPO, retail investors would be allocated up to 30% of SPCX shares, compared to the usual 5%.
Dom Kwok straightforwardly stated that this "is definitely not a coincidence; retail investors are preparing to become the exit liquidity for a $2 trillion IPO." He said he would not participate in the investment and is temporarily observing, but he does not completely dismiss SpaceX's long-term value. Instead, he believes that the current IPO window's policy combination is extremely unfriendly to retail investors. Removing all barriers means the risks far outweigh the opportunities, and he recommends waiting and watching rather than chasing high to enter.
