The upcoming SpaceX IPO

This might be the most anticipated IPO in stock market history.  It might also be the biggest, with a projected market cap around 1.75 trillion dollars.

Here's a Motley Fool article about it:

An important snippet:

The company must make its registration statement, on Form S-1, publicly available at least 15 days before roadshow activities. This means that if SpaceX aims to launch a roadshow as of June 8 to market the IPO to institutional investors, it must file its registration statement during the week of May 18 at the latest. 

So that's something to watch out for.  If SpaceX does indeed file in time for that roadshow, then in just a few days, we'll all be able to get a glimpse of the company's financials and decide if we want to jump on board.  Personally, I have no idea what to expect from their books.

If the numbers are attractive enough, I might very well pick up some shares.  We'll just have to see.  Whether I buy any or not, though, it's still pretty exciting.
