Angela’s daughter finally got her SpaceX IPO story, but the real lesson is not about chasing a two trillion dollar headline, it is about what happens when a zero dividend, hyper-volatile stock starts reshaping parts of the telecom world your CPF and SRS depend on. I walk through how one week of SpaceX price swings wiped out more wealth than most billionaires ever build, then pivot to the quieter, more important question, how much of Singtel’s 18.5 cents FY2026 dividend is coming from recurring profit versus selling assets. You do not need to touch SpaceX at all for this to matter, you just need to know whether the income you are counting on is being propped up by a recycling programme that will not last forever. This episode is a patient, forensic look at excitement versus cashflow, and why satellite broadband now sits on my Singtel watch list even if nothing breaks tomorrow.
Key takeaways:
SpaceX’s post IPO pullback erased roughly 35% of value in under a week.
Musk’s net worth dropped tens of billions in a single selloff session.
Singtel’s FY2026 dividend totals 18.5 cents, with 5.1 cents from asset recycling.
Satellite broadband deals like Starlink’s new contracts now matter for future telecom income quality.
Thai investors can buy SpaceX via new DRs, Singaporeans cannot access it as easily through local brokers.
