  • SpaceX Meme Stock Run May End as Options Trading Opens Bearish Bets - Gary Black
    June 20, 2026, 9:50 PM EDT. Gary Black, managing director at The Future Fund LLC, said SpaceX's (SPCX) initial 'meme stock' surge may be ending as investors can now buy put options, a bearish bet against the stock. The shares fell 4% after options trading launched Tuesday, with nearly 1.8 million contracts traded, setting a new record for an IPO. Black noted the 50% rally from the $135 IPO price was fueled by limited selling options, including scarce short selling availability and previously unavailable puts. He cautioned investors to watch SpaceX's performance after August lockup expirations allow more insider shares to be sold and bearish positions to grow. Steve Grasso of Grasso Global highlighted that accelerated lockup release conditions depend on SpaceX's share price holding above $175.50, 30% above IPO, for stability in supply.
