- SpaceX stock has climbed about 50%, and "flippers" — traders who sold early — are now regretting missing the further upside, per the WSJ lead headline
- SpaceX's IPO is reshaping the broader space trade, with short sellers piling into competitor tickers ASTS and SPCE rather than the shares themselves, while a separate piece highlights how a $1 million SpaceX investment has grown to a "staggering amount"
Why it matters: A roughly 50% climb in SpaceX stock means early sellers forfeited substantial paper gains, and cross-coverage reveals a split market: WSJ and Investor's Business Daily celebrate the run, while Bloomberg's "Bad Gnus" framing and concentrated short bets against ASTS and SPCE signal open skepticism about the broader space trade.
