The people getting rich off SpaceX today aren\u2019t the ones buying it<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Friday the biggest IPO in history hit the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SpaceX priced at $135 a share. It opened around $150. By midday it had run past $176, and the company was worth more than $2.2 trillion. Elon Musk became the world\u2019s first trillionaire before the day was out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The headlines are all asking the same question: who is going to buy all that stock?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that\u2019s the wrong question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The better one, the one almost nobody is asking, is this. The people who sold into that $75 billion deal just walked away with $75 billion in cash. Where does that money go next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of it buys homes and boats. Most of it goes right back into the market, hunting the next big move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And history is very clear about one thing: the people who get rich off a mega-IPO are almost never the ones buying shares at the open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at what already happened this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CoreWeave went public in March 2025 at $40 a share while the whole market was talking about AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It ran to $183, more than four times its price, in under three months. Then the smart money started selling. By the time the lockup expired in August, insiders dumped $7.8 billion into a market that was already cracking. The stock fell 65% from its peak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd that bought the headline rode it all the way down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klarna did the same thing in September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biggest fintech IPO of the year, a first-day pop, then six straight months of bleeding. By March 2026 it traded about 65% below its IPO price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Same story, twice in a year. The crowd chases the famous name. The money moves somewhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where does it move? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Into the smaller names that don\u2019t have an insider clock ticking. You can already see it starting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the run-up to the listing, EchoStar, which owns a stake in SpaceX, jumped 11% on options volume that was more than 11 times its normal level. AST SpaceMobile jumped 12% the same day. The rotation isn\u2019t a theory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s already showing up on the tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is exactly the kind of moment Steve Strazza built his strategy around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve is Chief Market Strategist at All Star Charts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He learned how big money really moves the hard way, working as a derivatives audit specialist on Steve Cohen\u2019s SAC Capital account, reading the books, sitting in on the risk meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lesson that stuck with him: the pros use options because the risk is defined. You decide what you are willing to lose the moment you click buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He turned that into one repeatable setup he calls the Big Money Trade. Small bet, defined risk, a few weeks, a shot at a very large win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since he started sharing it publicly in 2024, he\u2019s sent more than 373 of them, around 15 to 20 a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, June 17 at 4:30 PM ET, he\u2019s hosting a free training to walk through exactly how it works, and why he thinks the wave of cash coming out of this IPO sets up the best stretch he\u2019s seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s free to attend. You just need to save your seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAVE MY SEAT \u2014 Wednesday, June 17, 4:30 PM ET\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd is busy buying the rocket. Steve is watching where the money lands.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
