Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again.<\/strong>\u00a0In 2009, a “Double Down” signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia.\u00a0For the first time in years, that same “Total Conviction” signal is flashing for a company 1\/100th the size of Nvidia.\u00a0Continue \u00bb<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n Here’s what you should know about SpaceX’s lockup cliff. <\/p>\n When SpaceX had its IPO, only around 4% of its shares were made available to the public. The rest will be gradually released as key dates are reached. Here is SpaceX’s current lockup period schedule and how many shares are expected to be released at each point. <\/p>\n Data source: SpaceX’s 424B4 filing. <\/p>\n SpaceX is scheduled to release its first earnings report<\/a> on Aug. 4, which will trigger the first set of share unlocks, slated to happen on Aug. 6. <\/p>\n How will SpaceX’s stock perform after its initial lockup period? <\/p>\n We can’t predict how any stock will perform, but generally with an IPO, we see more volatility because insiders are unloading some of their shares. If you worked for a company for a decade or made an early investment, you likely want to see that work turn into cash and not just a number on paper. <\/p>\n With more people selling shares than buying, SpaceX’s stock could take a temporary hit. Of course, this assumes insiders want to offload shares, which might not be the case, but chances are many will want to cash in while the stock is valued so highly (though it’s trading lower than its initial IPO price as of July 21). <\/p>\n There’s no need to rush to invest in SpaceX right now. Waiting until after the first one or two lock-up periods have expired is a smart choice for most investors. <\/p>\n Should you buy stock in Space Exploration Technologies right now? <\/p>\n Before you buy stock in\u00a0Space Exploration Technologies, consider this: <\/p>\n The Motley Fool\u00a0Stock Advisor\u00a0analyst team just identified what they believe are the\u00a010 best stocks<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for investors to buy now\u2026 and\u00a0Space Exploration Technologies\u00a0wasn’t one of them.\u00a0The 10 stocks that made the cut are built for long-term growth and could produce monster returns in the coming years. <\/p>\n Consider when\u00a0Netflix<\/strong>\u00a0made this list on December 17, 2004… if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation,\u00a0you’d have $371,519<\/strong>!*\u00a0Or\u00a0when\u00a0Nvidia<\/strong>\u00a0made this list on April 15, 2005… if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation,\u00a0you’d have $1,281,302<\/strong>!* <\/p>\n That performance is why people listen.
