🚨 I’ll be on at 2 p.m. ET 🚨
I’ll reveal the SpaceX IPO rules that could get traders banned for life, explain why even I can’t touch my own shares, show you where the biggest opportunities may exist without the restrictions and more [tap to join us]!
Let me break down what’s happening with the SpaceX IPO…
Because if you’re thinking about trying to get shares, you need to understand the math working against you.
This thing is four times oversubscribed at a $75 billion capital raise. Retail demand alone is running over $100 billion. When the appetite is that extreme, the outcome is already decided — most people won’t get anything.
Major platforms like Fidelity, Schwab and Robinhood have closed down possible allocations. Robinhood is even offering shares up to $162 — a 20% buffer above the projected $135 IPO price. That means you’re paying a premium before you even get started.
And even if you do get allocation, you might end up with one to 10 shares. That won’t really move your account unless it’s very small. Meanwhile, institutions are eating everything in sight. BlackRock alone put in an order for at least $5 billion worth of shares, and other giants are submitting orders that dwarf what retail could ever hope to access.
People need to understand something important — the money that doesn’t get allocation doesn’t just sit around. When firms can’t get the shares they want, they rotate that capital into the closest public alternatives.
That’s why halo stocks exist.
This isn’t a consolation prize. It’s where the real momentum goes when the IPO book slams shut on everyone else.
We’ve seen this play out before. When Coinbase (COIN) prepared to go public, CleanSpark (CLSK) ran from $7 to $42 in six months. When Snowflake hit the market, MongoDB (MDB)and Datadog (DDOG) ripped higher. Rivian’s (RIVN) IPO sent Lucid (LCID) soaring. These aren’t one-off anomalies — this is how capital behaves when buzz and scarcity collide.
Play the Halo Instead of Fighting for Scraps
If you want exposure to the upside that comes with a major IPO, your best bet isn’t trying to win the allocation lottery. It’s positioning in the companies that benefit when billions of dollars spill over into publicly traded names.
There are several credible alternatives worth attention — Rocket Lab (RKLB), AST SpaceMobile (ASTS), EchoStar (SATS), Planet Labs (PL), Redwire (RDW), Iridium Communications (IRDM) and Intuitive Machines (LUNR).
Even the Team Space Innovators ETF (NASA) offers diversified space exposure, though some ETFs like the Procure Space ETF (UFO) don’t have the best liquidity or bid-ask spreads. If you’re going to trade these names, stick to the ones with clean order books and real volume.
And for long-term investors, there’s another angle. SpaceX is expected to be added to major indices like the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) and the Russell 1000 (IWF). That means passive funds will eventually grab shares for you without any of the IPO drama.
Big picture — SpaceX is just the start. An entire wave of mega-IPOs is lining up in AI and defense. Companies like OpenAI and Anthropic could add trillions in market cap to the public markets. The same halo dynamics will repeat, and the same opportunities will show up again.
Don’t burn energy chasing scraps. Follow the flows. That’s where the real money is made.

Order Flow:
This is for informational and educational purposes only. These are not official alerts issued by Lance, but rather some interesting orders picked by the team at Lance Ippolito Trading.
When you look at these plays, always take the market maker move into consideration.
You can be right on the direction but still lose money if the stock doesn’t move enough. That’s where the market maker move comes in clutch.
With puts, they’re often downside hedges in case a stock tanks, especially around earnings. The further out of the money they are, the more likely they are to be hedges.
Also be sure and check when the company’s earnings date is because many of the plays we post here are centered around earnings!
If a stock is really expensive, consider a spread to lower the cost.
And finally, always remember the golden rule when it comes to buying calls: Buy dips, sell rips — and don’t chase!
If a stock’s moved a ton already today, maybe wait for a pullback.
There is inherent risk in trading. Trade at your own risk.
Note: If no date is listed after the month, it’s the monthly expiration (third Friday).
