[SPEAKER_01]: we have a lot of people watching right now who are saying y'all wait y'all you all always do a good job bringing us the individuals who we see the news but we don't understand what the heck just happened right so they they see SpaceX they see SpaceX they don't even know what SpaceX he's they're like okay y'all rewind
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's bring this back to the individuals who are like, okay, wait, Courtney A.O., what is SpaceX?
[SPEAKER_01]: What just happened?
[SPEAKER_01]: What did I miss out on?
[SPEAKER_01]: What should I learn from this situation?
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so space X is probably the most, and this is a really good question, okay, because a lot of people, and I'm about to tell some people some things and, and even if you thought you knew you probably didn't know all it is, so space X is absolutely maybe the most innovative IPO that we've had in American history, what people know from the name is that there's something happening in space.
[SPEAKER_00]: that's everything from commercial space travel to satellite access for defense companies, telecommunications, they are building infrastructure in outer space.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's the company as a whole, but as that's the that's the space it's part of.
[SPEAKER_00]: But inside of space it's there actually
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so space X is the like the parent company, but they're actually three billion dollar companies inside of space X.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are Starlink X AI and space X.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then under X AI it has like the grock AI interface.
[SPEAKER_00]: So a grock grock is like open AI or it's like chat GPT or
[SPEAKER_00]: called, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's under the X-A-I brain.
[SPEAKER_00]: So each of these entities by themselves are well over a billion dollars, which is when SpaceX went public, its valuation was about 1.7 trillion as of today, it's it's well above like two and a half trillion dollars.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so at the point that Space X went public last week, it became one of the top five largest publicly traded companies in the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: Bro, I, when I, when I, as I was following this story, a little part of me just said, that Elon Musk.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: That.
[SPEAKER_01]: That man, I don't know what it is, but do you think he'll stay at true in there?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_00]: The valuations of these companies isn't going down.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so he's officially a true in there.
[SPEAKER_01]: But no one else can buy that company though, now.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to sell it today, you can sell it for a true in?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not so much what he can sell it for.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really the value of what they do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it, is, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he owns a pretty significant stake in, in, in, in space, yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is he the largest owner?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_00]: He thinks he owns like 40 for some odd percent of the company.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think, because I think I know people watching this right now saying, dang, I missed out on this.
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't, I couldn't get in and get into this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think SpaceX, this is a one-time, once in a lifetime situation, or does this pattern keep repeating itself, but just differently when it gets to different generations and generations?
[SPEAKER_00]: this pattern recreates itself.
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's go back to light.
[SPEAKER_00]: like the late 80s, early 90s when you have Microsoft going public when you have Apple going on public.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, when they went public, they had ideas on what the personal PC could be and they were looking for people to invest in the vision for them to bring it to the mainstream.
[SPEAKER_00]: So these were literally garage-based businesses that got
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how those companies went public.
[SPEAKER_00]: And eventually they became what they are today.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got PCs, we got smart phones, we have mobile applications, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's not how they started.
[SPEAKER_00]: So where we are today and it's not just SpaceX.
[SPEAKER_00]: There are a lot of companies that are in this new phase.
[SPEAKER_00]: These companies are mature companies.
[SPEAKER_00]: space ace went public as one of the largest companies of all time going public.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a far different story than Apple trying to get people to see the vision.
[SPEAKER_00]: So what we've seen change now is that these companies are growing, they have clients, they're making money, they have products,
[SPEAKER_00]: before they even go public.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that's the thing that's different.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do I think that this is a once in a lifetime?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like when I think about space X.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when I think about,
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, satellites and outer space for our internet for our cell phones when I think about what that does for defense and weather monitoring and we can get alerts in terms of Inclimate weather sooner when I think about all of those improvements when I think about XAI and Incorporating artificial intelligence and everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: put in robots in our homes the same way we were trying to put a laptop in our homes in the early 2000s.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's like that's where we're going like I want to say like yeah this is absolutely a once in the lifetime thing but innovation is happening at such a fast pace right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: It could happen again and I'll give you a couple of examples like so for
[SPEAKER_00]: where we have like a Elon Musk who's done, you know, an Elon was a part of PayPal really early on.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if people realize that he's a part of PayPal and any day it Tesla and then, you know, now we got space at Starlink, XA, all of those things, there are some young guys that are CEOs that have the same level of brilliance.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's another privately-heal company right now that's called Andrew.
[SPEAKER_00]: Enderial.
[SPEAKER_01]: Enderial.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's A-N-D-U-R-I-L. Enderial.
[SPEAKER_00]: And how I like to explain, I like to say there, if you've ever watched any of the Avengers movies, Iron Man Tony Stark, he ran a weapons company, and everything was like super futuristic, and that's how he created Iron Man.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, Enderial is literally like Stark enterprises.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that's what's been created.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're going public sometime this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, the guy that's their CEO, he is the guy that, if you remember, Meta did the virtual reality things.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he took that VR, made major updates to it, made it just amazing at 17 years old.
[SPEAKER_00]: By 21, he sold that thing to Meadow for $2 billion.
[SPEAKER_00]: He could just start drinking.
[SPEAKER_01]: Trying to tell me a 17 year old made that.
[SPEAKER_00]: 17 year old made it popular, made it poppin'.
[SPEAKER_00]: It existed, but he made the upgrades to it to make it to where people could start buying it commercially and made Meadow wanna use it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, 17 sold it by 21 for $2 billion.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now he's the CEO of Andrew.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I bring that up to say that, man, there's a young teenager somewhere doing something with coding and he's identified a huge need to where it's hard for me to be like, space X is a once in a lifetime thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there, you know, it may happen again,
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd probably save for the next 20 years, like SpaceX was one of a kind.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for the next 20 years.
[SPEAKER_00]: For sure, for sure, for sure.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to understand the reason.
[SPEAKER_01]: Check this out family.
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you know that nearly 4 and 10 Americans still have zero money invested in the stock market?
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a gap where wealth is built or missed.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're just saving, you're falling behind because the market's average close to about a 10% a year for a century while your savings account is barely keeping up with inflation.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to make this plan.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you wait just five years to start investing, you could lose out on hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future wealth.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not hype, that's real math.
[SPEAKER_01]: The wealthiest 10% of Americans now own over 90% of all stocks because they started and they stayed consistent.
[SPEAKER_01]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't need to be rich to honestly get inside of the investing game.
[SPEAKER_01]: With platforms like SoFi Invest, Public and Moomoo, you can open an account today.
[SPEAKER_01]: Start with as little as a dollar, literally, and buy fractional shares of the same assets that have built generational wealth for millions.
[SPEAKER_01]: No commissions, 100% no excuses on your income.
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen, I need you to hear me clearly.
[SPEAKER_01]: Stop sitting on the sidelines.

[SPEAKER_01]: Do not let another year go by, as a matter of fact, don't let another day go by.
[SPEAKER_01]: Take the first step, family.
[SPEAKER_01]: Visit anthonyo.com for Sasha Invest.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get to work.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's start investing ASAD.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get back to the show.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious though, ma'am.
[SPEAKER_01]: You've been in the educational space.
[SPEAKER_01]: You have a master's.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm in the educational space, ma'am.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I...
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to get your thoughts on this, and then I'm going to get into a little bit more details of how people can start really looking into this, this IPOs, private companies, et cetera, et cetera.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, why is this stuff not being taught in our high schools and colleges?
[SPEAKER_01]: Why are people...
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't say this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why do we not know?
[SPEAKER_01]: about IPOs, private market companies, and how to get access to this.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this was never taught in high schools, churches, homes, colleges, universities, it's like you gotta have access to a certain kind of individual to know about this information, but it's like, how can we're not teaching this on a global school system type situation?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it's what you said.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's about the excess, you know, in the past, these opportunities were only reserved for UltraWelthy and one of the tools that they use to keep it from every day people was they would say that you're not qualified, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's a such thing as a qualified investor, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Having a net worth over a million dollars.
[SPEAKER_00]: not including your house, have the $250,000 liquid.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's an actual term.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so if you're not a qualified investor, then they feel like these type of investments were not safe for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was never about safety.
[SPEAKER_00]: right, because if it was too much risk, the qualified people would never invest in it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and then I truly believe that it's just been a tool to keep our class system and reserve wealth for certain number of people, but we know that technology
[SPEAKER_00]: has removed a lot of those barriers.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's people like you and I that exist to remove those barriers.
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think there is a smaller element of the people who we've seen as educational authorities, not having the knowledge themselves.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they just not haven't been able to pass it down, even if they made a lot of money.
[SPEAKER_00]: Even if they had a doctorate degree,
[SPEAKER_00]: even if they were educated, they themselves didn't have the information to even pass it down or to even put it into schools.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think from a school perspective, schools are burdened with their responsibility to ensure that students can pass tests.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: School is about testing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything the resources are designed for testing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not about making sure that you can survive once you get out of that field.
[SPEAKER_01]: Raised them.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, you know, I've done a lot of work with schools and put in our program into schools and one of the barriers becomes the priority of funds.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when it comes down to ensuring that students can read on grade level, ensuring that they can pass, you know, hit their numeracy numbers and their financial literacy, we're going to come
[SPEAKER_00]: below those other things, even though I think collectively as a society, we would say that in some ways financial literacy is more important.
[SPEAKER_00]: that some of the other things been taught in school.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's an infrastructure issue.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that's why we do what we do.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why we go so hard at what we're doing.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why we have in this conversation so that we can try to make up the lost time that generations, the opportunities, the generations of missed out on.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why we do this.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that's why.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why we're about to do it right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I gotta ask you how, how specifically,
[SPEAKER_01]: How does a regular person get access to this and they may not have 250,000.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so I'm gonna do the easy one first and I kind of already mentioned, so I wanna say if it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you know anybody that's super wealthy, or anybody that's famous or has access,
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
[SPEAKER_00]: I have genuine relationship.
[SPEAKER_00]: But when we yell, chilling like, hey, man, I think it'd be really cool for us to try to invest in a really, really strong startup.
[SPEAKER_00]: All startups are not created equal, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, the chance of them becoming a billion dollar company is kind of like somebody trying to go to the NBA.
[SPEAKER_00]: But they do exist.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's the first part.
[SPEAKER_00]: The second way is understanding that you want to take a little bit of risk in your investment portfolio.
[SPEAKER_00]: Companies like SpaceX, companies like Anthropic, their own cloud, companies like OpenAI, their own's Chad G.P.T.
[SPEAKER_00]: they're going to go public.
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll be publicly traded companies.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to take that type of risk, that shouldn't be the majority of your portfolio.
[SPEAKER_00]: The only needs to be a small part of your portfolio.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So then that means you need to figure out what to do with the rest of your portfolio.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the reason we were talking before.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, that's the reason why I created the portfolio builder on for people in my community.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they can build out their portfolios.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they know how much of their money should go into companies like
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so you've got to find a place for understand how much to invest and then you've got to know the mechanics of how to do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So here's how you do if you're interested in investing in privately held companies before they go public.
[SPEAKER_00]: One way is is when like I mentioned Robin Hood had opened up the opportunity for investors to buy early.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's actually a rare thing and it's the
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's the first time that a broker has ever even done that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we may see Robin Hood do that more in the future because the Robin Hood network of investors is like we've never seen before.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the reason why they're able to do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But here's the better way.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think our audience will appreciate this because we are believers in ETFs.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks.
[SPEAKER_00]: So there are ETFs out there that give you access to probably hail companies before they go public.
[SPEAKER_01]: What?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to give you three of them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, don't, brother.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to write it down.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking about two.
[SPEAKER_00]: Talk to, yeah, all right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the first one is ticker, X O V R.
[SPEAKER_00]: So this one, this is the ETF that's been around the longest and has included publicly-held companies.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, privately-held companies, and it also includes publicly-held companies, which is good because it gives you a little bit of balance.
[SPEAKER_00]: This ETF is also the first ETF of a privately-held company that went public.
[SPEAKER_00]: So a company that went from private to public in the ETF, that company that did that was cornered.
[SPEAKER_00]: So anybody that ever did like a buy nail pay later on the so corner was in that ETF.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's the first one, XO VR.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_01]: ER shares private public crossover ETF.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_01]: Financials are looking pretty good too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and the tricky thing about all of these and I do want to mention it, I know we're training our audience to go and look at the returns.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't look at the returns of these ETFs the same way you would some of the other ETFs that we've talked about because some of the holdings are private.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so because of that, the valuation can be a little bit off when you look at the returns.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you have to understand that this is a long-term plate because you're investing in these for when these companies go public.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the reason why.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're waiting.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a long-term investment.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not looking at the returns every quarter, because you're not going to sell this.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you invest in this, your intent is to hold this for at least five years.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so XO VR is the first one, the second one is R-A-R-K V-X, R-V-X.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is one of Kathy Woods's ETFs.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you familiar with Kathy, if you're not, let me tell you, you probably not familiar with Kathy Woods.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, Kathy Woods is one of the most successful,
[SPEAKER_00]: investment managers on Wall Street.
[SPEAKER_00]: She is known most for being an early investor into Nvidia Tesla and Bitcoin are the three things that she identified early that put her on a national stage.
[SPEAKER_00]: She's a really aggressive
[SPEAKER_00]: investor but she's aggressive in the sense of identifying technologies that are going to change the world.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's what she does.
[SPEAKER_00]: So ARK VX is her venture capital ETF.
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is the one that is going to be a little bit different than the other two that I'm going to mention.
[SPEAKER_00]: because it has more privately held companies in it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It has a higher management fee.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the management fee is like 2.5% which is extremely high, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: It also has a lock-up period on your money.
[SPEAKER_00]: So whereas XO VR, you can sell it whenever you want to like an individual stock with ARKVX.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can only sell it once a quarter during a window that the fund identifies.
[SPEAKER_00]: So your money is locked up, and even when they open it for you to sell it, if they see that there's too much selling volume, they can shut it down.
[SPEAKER_00]: They can shut it down.
[SPEAKER_01]: why would you say that's the case?
[SPEAKER_01]: Why are they doing that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they're because the majority of the fund or pretty significant portion of the fund is privately held and is harder to liquidate privately held companies than it is a publicly traded company.
[SPEAKER_00]: Public traded company you can sell every second.
[SPEAKER_00]: right.
[SPEAKER_00]: But when company is private, there's only certain investors you can sell that to.
[SPEAKER_00]: The valuation is a lot different.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're just a lot more technicalities that come with that one.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's going to give you the most exposure to a privately held companies.
[UNKNOWN]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, this
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you start off at $30, June, 2026, is that $55?
[SPEAKER_01]: Huh, I need to look more into this myself, brother.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the last one is AGIX, AGIX.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_00]: So AGIX is kind of like a hybrid of the two.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's traded like a stock, so you can buy and sell them whenever you want, but it gives you
[SPEAKER_00]: more exposure to robotics, artificial intelligence, kind of like art vx.
[SPEAKER_00]: It primarily focuses on AI, AI infrastructure, and robotics.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's everything that's in there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Management fee is in the middle of the two.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but like I said, it's kind of a hybrid of the two.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're like, man, I really want to be able to invest and probably hail companies before they go public.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, these are three ETFs that you can invest in, no, not to be able to give you that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, would you say for these?
[SPEAKER_01]: You keep one of them, which is the art Vx, you have to keep it in there.
[SPEAKER_01]: But for a long call, you need to put that many air for these 10 15 years for to see fruit of your investment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you, you at least five years, like you can't need that money within five years.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks, OK. Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, what happens?
[SPEAKER_01]: I know they're thinking, it's OK.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's OK.
[SPEAKER_01]: I hear you Courtney.
[SPEAKER_01]: ETF typically have a lot of companies in the side of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's say, Anthony's company in the side of, is inside of this ETF.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he decides to go to the size of a public.
[SPEAKER_01]: Does my money transfer with that or do I have to now take my money out and invest once he goes to local IPO.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's your payday.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're already an owner.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're already an investor beforehand.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when it goes public, that's when the value of the fund is going to shoot up.
[SPEAKER_00]: So everybody that invested in space eggs before it went public.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is payday.
[SPEAKER_00]: So now they're watching their investment go up is liquid now now here's the thing with companies that go public if you own your privately you can't just sell it as soon as it goes public or you can't you can All right, um, they have a lock up period and it's intentional right because all the investors will sell it in their tank to stop for sure.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, it's like basically they call the pulling a rug out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't do it anyway, they just go and wait.
[SPEAKER_00]: I do for a little bit further down the line.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, but it's seven.
[SPEAKER_00]: I put 250 in, and I got like a five-tier million.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pulling her up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, so you got so typically about six months, but again, these people, their money has been tied up five years, 10 years, maybe.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't know when they started raising capital for space six.
[SPEAKER_00]: So these people are ready for day payday.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so when it goes public, you wait for six months, people don't start selling, so they can realize some of those profits.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not going to sell all of it because they want to give it room to grow in the future.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's the reason why I say every day people shouldn't invest in IPOs as soon as they go public because there's going to come a point in time where that stock price is going to drop from all of those private investors who are looking to get their money.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you got a way for them to get their money for the stock to drop, and that's when you want to get it.
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's, let's break down, let's, let's break that down with more, because right now you're telling people don't buy the stock right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't buy it right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to emphasize right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right now, because I mean, he said right now, he's been saying that and I'm like, Courtney, I've seen the stock go up, buddy.
[SPEAKER_00]: and it's up even more today.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's over $200 now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, boy, no, it's up to do the math.
[SPEAKER_00]: They help him do the math.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's up some like 35% in four days.
[SPEAKER_00]: Four days, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why bro?
[SPEAKER_01]: Why not right now?
[SPEAKER_01]: Why do you want us to wait?
[SPEAKER_01]: Because do you believe it's going to go back now?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to go back down.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like,
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you out of love, right, and you can't get into the show, right, and so there are people who are afraid that if they don't buy space X right now, they not going to get into the show.
[SPEAKER_00]: It don't work like that, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: You can get into the show whenever you want to.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, but with stocks, you choose the price that you're going to pay for to get into the show.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, sir.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you so eager, and you think that you're going to miss out, will you just go and pay more to get into the show?
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you chill and recognize that this show is going to go on forever, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not going to miss the opening act.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not going to miss the finale.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you understand that stocks don't work like that, you just wait to get the price that you want.
[SPEAKER_00]: This stock will be over.
[SPEAKER_00]: This stock will be around for the rest of the time, for the next decade.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you don't got to be in a hurry to buy it in the first week.
[SPEAKER_01]: SpaceX will be inside the S&P 500 now.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so people now, everybody wouldn't excited about everything that's happened in about SpaceX, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: And one of the things that made some people uncomfortable like America tends to do when you got money, they're going to make exceptions for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: So normally to get into the, the big indexes.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the SAP 500, the NASDAQ, they have a rule.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've got to meet certain qualifications.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: The indexes.
[SPEAKER_00]: were reviewing the rules to make exceptions for SpaceX.
[SPEAKER_00]: In terms of the S&P 500, the S&P 500 actually still attend toes down on their rules, and they said no.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it'll be about probably 2027 at the earliest before SpaceX can be in the S&P 500.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll spare you the explanation on that.
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.
[SPEAKER_00]: NASDAQ was like, we're going to change the rules a little bit for real.
[SPEAKER_00]: So SpaceX will be in the NASDAQ.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you have a retirement account, or if you have an ETF, right, that includes the companies that are in the NASDAQ, your ETF follows the companies that are in the NASDAQ, you automatically just became an owner of SpaceX, whether you want it to or not.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's good and bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: The good is, SpaceX is a great company.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you have a long time until you retire, you're going to benefit from that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: the downside is number one they broke the rules number two it could experience some significant amounts of volatility yeah they have had quarters where they've lost money yeah okay yeah so if there was any potential market impact negatively that's going to hit your portfolio
[SPEAKER_00]: I think in a long term, you'll be all right, but they did change the rules for spaces.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why would a company company light space sex went to be in the S&P 500?
[SPEAKER_01]: How does it benefit them?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it gives them more liquidity.
[SPEAKER_00]: It gives them more,
[SPEAKER_00]: So back to our lesson before we talk about like what makes stock prices go up and down so buyers make the price go up sellers make it go down Yes, wherever there's more of that's going to determine the direction so more people are buying it is going to go up More people are selling it is going to go down when a company gets added to an index fund
[SPEAKER_00]: that immediately gives you access to a lot more mutual funds, retirement accounts that are going to buy the stock.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to inflate the value even more.
[SPEAKER_00]: So those people who invest that when the company is private, it should just drive into price up even more.
[SPEAKER_00]: But see if you buy it once it goes public and you buy it at the elevated price, now you're buying it inflated stock.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that stock price is only up
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the reason why I keep saying, y'all need to wait.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm telling you, like, they found playing fair right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, all right, all right, all right.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I'm asking the questions being all, you were just playing it 10 times better, baby.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, Matt, listen.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're saying to everyone right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do not buy SpaceX for a year.
[SPEAKER_01]: Go look into these three ETFs.
[SPEAKER_01]: The cheapest one was at $38.
[SPEAKER_01]: The most expensive one was Western Ames, and that one was at $53.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then the other one, the third one was at $46.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so if you want to get into IPOs before they go public, probably the companies before they go public, go check into these three ETFs, hold off for SpaceX for about, you said about a year.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to definitely have him back on the show, but if you are in his community, he's talking about it every single week, just updating the community.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to have all of his information inside the show and also make sure to check that out.
[SPEAKER_01]: I have heard of any of the, well, I've heard of what's the name and I've been following for a while, but I did not hear of her of this ETF.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm looking into that today.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm calling my financial advisor today and so I'm gonna build a bit of money and it's, is that what you're saying?
[SPEAKER_01]: Get these three, hold off on this, sit tight, we'll give you an update.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you guys don't breathe, that you know me, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, you wanna take some extra risk, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's better to invest in these ETFs right now than to invest in SpaceX.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanna add, you know, because we're real big on like strategy, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: We're building portfolios for a long term.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're on term, brother.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not just trying to hit a lick real quick, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: SpaceX isn't gonna make you a millionaire if you buy it today at this price.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not what we're talking about.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we want you to build
[SPEAKER_00]: a sound portfolio, and then use these opportunities as ways to complement the structure that you already have.
