Miss the SpaceX (SPCX) IPO?
Don’t feel bad. So did 99% of your fellow investors. The IPO was priced at $135, and by the time most people blinked, shares had already popped 40% or more.
Unless you were one of the lucky few who got allocated shares at the offering, you watched from the sidelines as one of the most anticipated public debuts in history ran away from you.
But here’s the thing… missing the IPO doesn’t mean you have to miss the opportunity.
There’s a strategy I’ve been using in the War Room since 2019 that lets you put in an order to buy SpaceX at $100 per share (well below where it’s trading today), and even if you never get filled, you could still walk away with more than 50% on your money.
The catch? You have to hold the position for about 7 months, and you have to use a unique strategy that allows you to buy shares at YOUR price, or get paid for trying.
Here’s how it works.
When you sell a put option, you’re obligating yourself to buy shares at a specific strike price at or before expiration.
If the stock stays above your strike price, you never buy the shares. But you keep the premium you were paid upfront for making that agreement.
If the stock does fall to your strike price at expiration, you buy the shares at a price you already decided you were comfortable with.
Like I said: you buy at your price, or you get paid for trying.
It’s a strategy built on patience and discipline. And in my experience, those two things beat speed and impulse every time.
Strategy In Action
SPCX is trading around $190 (give or take $10), a far cry from the $135 IPO price, and even further from where a value-focused investor would want to buy in.
But what if you could target $100 per share?
Here’s how you could: Sell the SPCX January 2027 $100 put. Right now, those puts are trading for around $6.50. Each contract covers 100 shares, so you’d collect $650 per contract upfront.
To do this trade, you’d need to put up around 15% to 20% of the strike price as collateral. On a $100 strike, that equates to $1,500 per contract (100 shares).
So, you’re either buying 100 shares of SpaceX at an effective cost of $93.50 (a nearly 50% discount to where it’s trading today), or you’re pocketing 50%-plus on your collateral just for being willing to do so. That’s a trade I’ll take any day of the week.
The reason most retail investors never use put selling is simple: they don’t know it exists. Wall Street doesn’t exactly go out of its way to hand you strategies that put you in control.
But this is exactly the kind of approach we use in the War Room every day. Since 2019, our track record with this strategy is over 95%!
In fact, we just closed out a trade on Fluor Corp (FLR) in less than 35 days using the same strategy. You can close the trade out early by buying back your puts just like these members did… seven months early!

Just closed the FLR on 6/16 @ $0.82 for a nice 45% gain. Thanks Karim
YOUR ACTION PLAN
The SpaceX IPO is over. You can’t go back and get shares at $135. But you can position yourself to buy stocks like SPCX at massive discounts.
As you know, applying strategies like this are what we do every single week in The War Room. Looking forward to staying hot this summer. See you next week.

FUN FACT FRIDAY
The 126th US Open Championship is happening this weekend at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y. There are a record-tying 20 amateurs competing in the field this year. One of them, Brandon Holtz, a 39-year-old from Illinois, works as a real-estate agent and had never played in a USGA championship event until he won the 2025 U.S. Mid-Amateur, securing him a tee time this weekend at Shinnecock. Best of luck to all the amateurs, but my money is still on Rory.
