Hi, I'm Ricardo “Rick” Sarraf, analyst here at All Star Charts.

Thanks for watching my presentation on the SMTV SpaceX IPO event.

As you probably guessed, I'm not buying a single share of SpaceX when it opens.

Not because it's a bad company… 

Because the biggest gains in this market were never made buying the IPO everyone is already watching.

They were made by owning the companies climbing the ladder right behind it.

Here's what I mean.

SpaceX is going public at around $1.75 trillion. In order to simply double your money, the company has to add another $1.75 trillion in value. 

That means Elon would have to add the market cap of Tesla to SpaceX.

And even if he merges SpaceX and Tesla together to form the ultimate Elon conglomerate…

Going 3x, 5x, even 10x from here would likely take 5-10 years. 

But what if there was a better way to play the SpaceX IPO that could land you 5x, 10x, 20x, even 50x returns over the same time period?

Those are the types of opportunities I’m looking for every single day in one of the most unloved parts of the stock market…

Companies worth between $2 billion and $30 billion in market capitalization (called “Mid-Caps”). 

Here’s why…

The giant index funds are built around the megacaps. 

The hot-money crowd chases the tiny, junky small-caps for the lottery-ticket pop. 

And the mid-caps are like the middle child that gets ignored.

That’s where the edge is!

Over the last thirty years, mid-cap stocks have quietly beaten both large-caps and small-caps. 

The S&P MidCap 400 has outpaced the S&P 500 by about two percentage points a year. 

Even though mid-caps are the bigger, better-performing slice of the market…

Investors still put roughly the same money into small-caps as they do mid-caps, 

These companies don’t grab headlines (or investor interest) the way flashy IPOs do. 

But here’s the truth about these “biggest IPOs ever”...

A shocking percentage of these public offerings drop 50-90%.

And if you’re willing to have a little bit of patience…

You can get into some of the best companies in the market and land some pretty extraordinary gains.

• Facebook went public at $38 in 2012, then fell more than 50% in its first few months, bottoming near $17.50. Today it trades above $570 – A gain of over 3,100% from that low.

• Palantir went public at $10 in 2020 and sank to $6 by the end of 2022. Today it's over $130 – Up more than 2,000% from the bottom.

• Robinhood went public at $38 in 2021, then crashed 82% to $6.81. Today it's around $93 – A gain of more than 1,200% off that low.

But if you don’t want to wait a few years for these stocks to find the bottom and start climbing higher…

The best thing to do is to look for the smaller names inside the IPO hype

That’s exactly what we saw happening with the space theme.

The SpaceX story didn't start this week. It's been building since 2024. 

And while everyone argued about the IPO, the real money was being made in the space names already trading. 

Every one of them showed up in the exact corner of the market that my scan watches.

• Rocket Lab (RKLB) first crossed the scan in September 2024 at around $8 per share. Today it trades over $100. That's a gain of more than 1,200%.

• AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) showed up in July 2024 at ~$13/share. Today it trades around $90. Up roughly 580%.

• Kratos (KTOS) appeared in January 2025 at ~$30/share. Now it's at $59 for a 93% gain.

• Planet Labs (PL) appeared in the fall of 2025 at $8. Today it's at $30 for a 290% return.

• Intuitive Machines (LUNR) crossed in December 2024, around $16. Today, around $27.

While the world was waiting for SpaceX, the biggest gains in space were happening in this corner of the market.

Now the “next big winners” are setting up…

And this scan is how you see it first.

Just before I came on, I sat down with my 2-to-100 members for a full breakdown. 

I called it the Midcap Momentum Workshop.

We went deep on everything I just touched. 

• The anatomy of an IPO from a technician's point of view, and why the easy money comes after the hype, not before.

• The mid-cap edge, and why it has been hiding in plain sight. 

• And the rotation I see setting up right now, as the SpaceX money starts looking for its next home.

You just got the highlights. My members got the whole thing.
