Overview

While many retail investors got allocations of Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX) when the stock IPO'd, others were left out. However, if you missed the IPO, I wouldn't be chasing the stock, as I think there are better companies to buy pursuing similar objectives.

This is a solid business, but it's more of a launching pad (pun intended) for its other businesses. SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service is its profit center. Once again, this is a nice business, but certainly not a trillion-dollar one.
