Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

All of its investors, employees, all of that.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

But they don't sell all of those shares in an IPO.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

They don't need to come up with $2 trillion.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

And I think that's so important, because we're talking about, oh, can the market support a $2 trillion IPO?

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

They only need to come up with $80 billion or whatever they end up pricing, just that small sliver they're going to sell.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

Given how hot space is, and given investor interest in Elon Musk, I don't think it's a surprise that they can raise $80 or $100 billion.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

And that's a lot more reasonable sounding than

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

the $2 trillion number.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

There's a lot of other levers here.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

I know Dan loves to talk about the index, so we can get into that.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

But look, this is a very, very big company with a very large share count.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

All they need to do is sell this small amount and gosh, there's interest.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

So yeah, $2 trillion, $3 trillion, who knows what they can get to if they squeeze enough.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

Absolutely.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

The better question is, can they sustain that valuation?

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

Not the valuation they can get on the first day.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

Look, I feel like we're re-debating Tesla.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

As people have been saying for years, we can't sustain that.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

I think I'd probably take the underlying

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

on whether or not it's still over $2 trillion, if it goes out of $2 trillion in six months.
