Episode 31 of The Weekly Sift Stack: CJ Gettelfinger, Lucas Nulsen, & Tyler Sherven break down the biggest stories moving markets. SpaceX goes public this Friday in what's shaping up to be the largest IPO ever - priced at $135 a share, raising roughly $75 billion at about a $1.77 trillion valuation under ticker SPCX.
