Hedge Funds Short the SpaceX IPO Hype
from The Hedge Fund Podcast with Fexingo: Alternative Investments, Strategies, and Institutional Investing · host Fexingo
SpaceX stock has fallen since its IPO, and some hedge funds are now betting against it. Lucas and Luna break down why funds are shorting a stock that was supposed to be the year's biggest winner. They discuss the mechanics of short selling in a high-volatility name, the role of retail lock-up expirations, and what the VIX at 16.8 and VVIX at 88.4 tell us about the options market's positioning. Plus, a look at how this fits into the broader theme of the Warsh Fed's hawkish tilt and the rotation away from growth stocks. A case study in post-IPO mean reversion. #SpaceX #IPO #ShortSelling #HedgeFunds #VIX #VVIX #Volatility #MeanReversion #RetailInvestors #LockUpExpiry #WarshFed #HawkishFed #GrowthStocks #SmallCaps #MarketRotation #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
