Ask HN: How to make the best of the Mega IPO/ Index fund debacle?

2•jppope•41m ago

SpaceX just kicked off IPO season and it looks like this will have some far reaching effects due to the way index funds have changed their rules to allow immediate inclusion of IPOS: https://youtu.be/iOyFja87uyw?si=F6NpJUXgk0oBZ_bp

Trying to understand the best way to handle the situation both from a passive investor and what this means for startups and entrepreneurship as a whole. Its likely there will be some fallout but maybe the public will invest in the brands and not the company fundamentals? What opportunities do you see?

Best approach here is to do nothing differently than any other day. Invest your money in index funds, don't move it around, wait.

Can you substantiate why that would work in this case? From a fundamental perspective it looks like the AI companies (and Spacex) are looking to take advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention to increase the price of the stock during the IPO. Its likely that the public will pay higher prices without knowing because the price won't have stabilized.
