    The next big IPO is coming, should I Invest in it?

    Jess' been seeing the headlines about Anthropic and OpenAI entering the stock market later this year and keeps thinking, “should I buy that?” Looking back on the recent Space X IPO she feels intense FOMO. It made a historic $75 billion in it’s first day on the market. Yes, billion with a B. But how can you decide if something is a good investment, when it’s new to the market? What actually is an “IPO”? And why do companies decide to go public? Bryce joins Jess to explain all this and to answer an important question- is investing at IPO a good investment or just FOMO?  Chapters: 00:00:00 What Is An IPO 00:04:08 Who Gets Rich First 00:10:25 Is The Price Right? 00:13:07 The Day One Trap 00:18:50 Winners, Losers And Lessons 00:21:00 Will Bryce Buy Anthropic? 00:23:26 The FOMO Fix Links mentioned in this episode: 📩 Sign up to the Get Started Investing newsletter here 📩 Share your investing story with us submit here 🎟️ FinFest tickets - Buy early bird tickets here Want more Equity Mates?
