Nasdaq rewrote its inclusion rules to accommodate ’s mega-IPO, implementing a "Fast Entry" provision that allows the company to join the Nasdaq-100 index just 15 trading days after its initial public offering, down from the standard three-month seasoning period.

They also eliminated the minimum float requirement of 20% available public shares and instead stocks with less than 20% of shares publicly traded, Nasdaq applies a 3x multiplier to the free-float for index weighting purposes, artificially inflating low-float giants like SpaceX in passive funds.

Ok, but in English? , and have just figured out a scam to force every passive , , and index fund to buy their stock before pricing evaluation.

They’ve figured out how to steal your .

They're vertical markets that focus on a specific industry or niche.

indices can get really confusing really fast, which is why most people's funds are in broad market, it spreads out the risk...theoretically. I think these rules make that less true than it was.

But to make room for that, they will have to sell off much of their current portfolio. Which means downward pressure on all other stocks. Maybe time to buy some put options?

For hundreds if not thousands of years smaller players could sometimes leverage the unlimited ego and ambition of larger players against each other. The techbros believe they are the gods of the market right now. That however, to Hedge Fund managers could be seen as encroachment on their union turf. Bringing big egos into conflict can create a lot of wiggle room for the rest of us.
...Just some thoughts. Better than doing NOTHING.

Perhaps not. But we CAN firewall a majority of it. It would require employees broadly discussing concerns with employers in small & medium enterprise about risky investments that broadly impact ALL of them, prompting moves to ESGs. For bigger setups weaponization of The Intransigent Minority Rule by having enough core employees & management sticking to their guns & up HR's ass with irritating frequency.

I'm still reading, and trying to find out what pushback the rules are getting from the real money, and how serious the other indexes are in following the "bow to billionaires" business model.

I should go see if/what @unusual_whales has to say about the rules, the ipos, and what shorts are being placed...what is real capital doing in the face of this? (None of us have "real capital".)

Yes...and no. employees rarely have that kind of autonomy about their 401ks. Also, the laws around index funds are tricky, and excluding a single stock might run into regulatory issues.

It's all prospectus. If the fund "tracks an index", then it has to buy in proportional percentages everything in that index. And with companies like amazon and alphabet overweight, it means indexes hold more.

These IPOS are coming in bigger than anything has ever come in before, including the Saudi Aramco IPO...and Aramco actually produces profit.

So, short answer; any prospectus which covers broad index cannot avoid a singular stock, as I understand it.

I am not an expert.

As they would fall under the UK regulator - which operates rather differently to US regulators - who knows what they'll do. Most likely they would be less bullish than the NASDAQ in any case.
