    The SpaceX IPO Could Change Investing Forever

    Sharpe Ratio-inspired, this podcast explores ideas to sharpen thinking and improve outcomes ‘per unit of risk’. This episode dives into the upcoming SpaceX IPO and why it could become a defining moment for passive investing. We break down how passive index funds like QQQ and the S&P 500 traditionally rely on active investors to determine fair value through price discovery, and why Nasdaq’s new fast-track inclusion rules may fundamentally change that dynamic. From forced ETF buying to trillion-dollar tech valuations and the future IPOs of companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, this episode explores whether passive investing is still truly passive when indexes themselves begin driving market behavior.
