> All three benchmarks are now structured to buy SpaceX at IPO pricing

S&P has not finalized a rule change yet.

Do you think it’s more or less likely that they will make the same change as the other benchmarks?

    S&P has historically been more conservative. My personal guess is they won't adopt all of the proposals.

Are you actually optimistic?

    Not particularly. When I posted the request for comment to HN it got crickets [1].

    Not enough people care about this. And the "safe" option has kind of shifted with the other index providers having moved first. That said, there were a lot of proposals and I'm not expecting all of them to be adopted.

  • A: posted a fact

    B: but what about your emotions

    Very glad to see HN stereotype being upended :)

    • A: This has not happened yet. B: Are you actually optimistic that it won't?

      That's a request for an opinion, not an emotion.
