I didn't invest in Snapchat, but I did recently manage to invest in SpaceX. I don't really care what the valuation is, I just want a piece of something great!



Why would you not care about the valuation if you were investing in a company? Are there coolness points for being able to say "I'm a spacex investor" that are just worth the cost?

Yes. I am indeed a total fanboy.


Is it safe to say that you invested a small enough (to you) amount that you would consider it a fair price to pay for a framed stock certificate of a defunct SpaceX if the company were to cease to exist? That is, as a memento? Or did you invest what you consider to be a significant sum in the hopes of someday getting your investment back plus?


Do I really need to keep answering the same question over and over?


I guess I was confused by your answer and thought I was asking a clarifying question.


How did you get to invest in SpaceX?


I want to know too. I would like to buy some shares, put them in a box and save them for my grandchildren. Seems the very definition of a long play to me.


Ask around in the private equity markets. They usually don't want to deal with small fry like me, but I was relentless :-) These things are very high risk, so I don't really want to be blamed if things go awry for anyone. I suggest starting with asking your brokerage.
