The SpaceX IPO Just Jumpstarted This Rare Market Phenomenon
Featured – Overlooked Trade: The Corporate Marriage Slump
Dear Reader,
I hope you’re paying attention to what’s happening in the stock market…
Because history is repeating itself in a way that only happens once in a generation.
In 1999, as the dot-com bubble roared toward its final, explosive peak, three mega-IPOs hit the market in rapid succession: UPS, Goldman Sachs, and AT&T Wireless.
They were household names… And their IPOs were so hot, they nearly broke Wall Street.
Within five short months, the Nasdaq nearly doubled during a phenomenon known as a “Melt Up.” Many individual stocks went parabolic, soaring 300%, 500%, even 1,000% or more.
Now, let’s fast forward to 2026…
Three mega-IPOs debuting, all household names: SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI.
SpaceX alone was the single biggest IPO event in history. And it’s the clearest signal we’ve seen that the Melt Up has arrived again.
In the same way that those 1999 IPOs caused a full-blown Melt Up in stocks, I believe we’ll look back at the SpaceX IPO as be the match that ignited the mother of all Melt Ups.

P.S. Most investors don’t realize the real money – the potentially once-in-a-generation profits – WON’T come from SpaceX.
The Melt Up is already sending stocks soaring in recent months, like Micron, up 986%… SanDisk, up 4,498%… and Bloom Energy, Lumentum, and Planet Labs… ALL UP more than 1,100% in recent months.
But you haven’t missed it yet. I believe the biggest gains are right around the corner. And when the Melt Up spreads to the rest of the market, stocks will take off FAST. I explain everything you need to know right here.
Overlooked Trade: The Corporate Marriage Slump
Big tech keeps pulling oxygen out of the room. Meanwhile, some of the most tradable, most misunderstood situations keep showing up in industrial corners where the headlines feel… unglamorous.
Today’s example is Huntsman Corporation (HUN). It’s active after announcing an all stock merger of equals with Olin, under an agreement signed June 15, 2026. The basic term matters: Huntsman shareholders are set to receive 0.5476 shares of Olin for each Huntsman share, with the combined company expected to close in the first half of 2027 (assuming the usual shareholder and regulatory hurdles clear).
The market’s first reaction was blunt. HUN sold off hard on the news in early trading, and at first glance that looks like “deal skepticism” or “chemicals are broken.” Maybe. But there’s another read: this is what corporate marriage slumps look like in materials. Day one is rarely about fundamentals. It’s about forced selling, index rules, hedging, and investors who simply don’t want to sit through integration risk for 12 months.
Ever been right about a stock’s direction and still lost money on the trade?
It happens to almost every beginner. And it’s almost never bad luck – it’s a checkpoint you skipped before you placed the trade.

P.S. The trades you regret most this year will almost certainly fail one of these 7 checks.
Better to find out before you click buy than after.
Here’s the interesting part. In an all stock deal, the opportunity often lives in the spread between HUN’s price and the implied value of that 0.5476 OLN share. If the spread is wide, you’re being paid to underwrite time and friction, not a product cycle. Slight tangent, but it’s real: in these deals, the “chemicals” part gets over analyzed while the plumbing of the transaction gets ignored.
Still, this isn’t free money. Key risks include antitrust review, cyclical demand swings in chlor alkali and downstream markets, financing and leverage discipline, and simple deal fatigue if closing drifts past expectations. If either company stumbles operationally, the spread can widen before it narrows.
But if you’re looking for an overlooked trade tied to a structural corporate event, HUN is suddenly on that short list. Worth watching closely as the spread settles and the market decides whether it actually wants this marriage.
