    Q3: Shareholder Superpowers Part 2: Voice — How to Make a Company Answer You

    Voting is powerful — but it only happens once a year. So what do you do the other 364 days? In Part 2 of our three-part "Shareholder Superpowers" series, Linda hands you the tools to plug into a company like you're on the inside: the Investor Relations department whose literal job is to answer investors, the quarterly earnings calls you can listen to for free (the same calls Wall Street analysts are on), and the SEC filings — the 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K — where the real, legally-verified numbers live. None of it costs a dollar. Almost nobody uses it. We also cover the one shareholder superpower that's currently in danger. Qualifying shareholders can put their own idea on the ballot under SEC Rule 14a-8 — a rule whose predecessor dates back to 1942 — but the SEC has stopped refereeing the process, a December 2025 executive order directed the agency to consider rescinding the rule, and the SEC's own chairman has publicly questioned whether it should exist. Corporate law firms are already writing memos about a "post-Rule 14a-8 world." We lay out the case for repeal and the case against it, and let you decide. Market open: the Iran ceasefire collapsed, oil jumped about 7%, and the Dow gave back an all-time record it had just set on Monday — while the S&P and Nasdaq finished the week green. One red index, two green, and a lesson in why "the market" is not one thing. Plus: the Fed is stuck (and its own dot plot now leans toward a hike, not a cut), and earnings season kicks off with five of the biggest U.S. banks reporting. Your homework this week: pick ONE company reporting earnings, and listen to fifteen minutes of the call. You won't understand every word. That's not the point. The point is that you sat in the room.

    Q2: SpaceX Is Coming to Your 401(k): The Biggest IPO in History

    This week, the biggest IPO in history is landing — and you might end up owning a piece of it without ever choosing to. SpaceX, Elon Musk's rocket company, is going public on the Nasdaq at a jaw-dropping valuation of around $1.75 trillion. In this episode we start from zero: what an IPO actually is, what it means to "go public," and why this one is so enormous it's making headlines from Wall Street to your retirement account. Then we get into the part most people are missing. The two companies that run America's biggest stock indexes just made opposite decisions in the same week — Nasdaq rewrote its rulebook to fast-track SpaceX in (critics nicknamed it "Lex SpaceX"), while S&P held the line and made it wait. We break down why that quiet, technical fight decides whether SpaceX shows up in your 401(k) in a matter of weeks — and how the "forced buying" machine behind index funds works. Finally, the honest part: a company worth $1.75 trillion that lost nearly $5 billion last year. We walk through the eye-popping valuation, present the bulls' case fairly, bust a viral myth, and give you a calm, beginner-friendly reality check on what history says about chasing hot IPOs. No hype, no fear — just what you actually need to know. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
