So voice-verified

and we'll come to in a second kind of if this is more of an ethical thing than a valuation, but in general, by owning a lot of different companies, you're in a lot of different areas of the market, you're less susceptible to what's called business risk. voice-verified

You're less susceptible to, let's say, the CEO of the company does something stupid, and so the company valuation drops very quickly as a result of that, or... voice-verified

you know, a main supplier of the company increases their prices substantially. voice-verified

So that also in turn affects the company. voice-verified

You're really starting to diversify, which lowers that overall risk in your portfolio. voice-verified

So what's important here is as that IPO, in this case, SpaceX, for your example, but as a new company, or maybe it's not an IPO, it's existed a long time, but it's grown over time, gets added into that. voice-verified

Remember, they're just becoming one of the voice-verified

potentially hundreds or thousands of different holdings within that broad-based index, hopefully, that you own. voice-verified

So to me, this question comes down to, is your hesitancy in owning this or even a portion of SpaceX, is it because you mentioned the valuation that you didn't believe it was valued what they said it could be worth? voice-verified

And so if that's the case, keep in mind that this is a very, very, very small valuation. voice-verified

percentage of your overall portfolio, and you could calculate that based on the amount you own of this position as related to other positions you might own in your overall portfolio. voice-verified

If that's the case, then you can kind of weigh the risk. voice-verified

If you're really strong that you think, let's say, for example, SpaceX is going to go to zero, voice-verified

You could say, okay, if SpaceX went to zero, here's the actual dollar amount implication to my overall portfolio. voice-verified

And if you'll still meet your goals and objectives, it might make sense to stay in that index fund because you're able to diversify and be in a lot of other things. voice-verified

And keep in mind, too, people are watching these. voice-verified

It continued to perform poorly in the long term. voice-verified

Obviously, we don't know if that will happen, but if that is the case, in theory, at some point, it will get kicked off of this index. voice-verified

Something else will be added to take its place. voice-verified
