    Why You Shouldn't Buy OpenAI, SpaceX, or Anthropic Stock

    A $3 Laboo Boo from Goodwill sounds like a silly flex until it turns into the cleanest investing lesson we know: the same thing people overpay for at peak hype often shows up later at a steep discount. That’s exactly how we think about IPO investing, especially when everyone starts yelling that SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are about to go public and “regular people” can finally get in. We walk through what an initial public offering actually is, why it feels like an important purchase opportunity, and why that feeling can be dangerous. By the time a company reaches the public market, venture capitalists, hedge funds, and insiders have often been in for years at far better prices. We also unpack the famous first-day “IPO pop” and the uncomfortable truth behind it: even if the average pop exists, high-speed traders and institutional access mean retail investors often buy after the jump, not before it. Then we get concrete. We talk Rivian’s meteoric run and brutal fall, GoPro’s hype cycle, and what those stories teach about valuation, expectations, and paying today for profits that may or may not ever arrive. We also share why broad index funds and long-term investing often beat chasing the hottest IPOs, plus our simple rule for handling the next blockbuster listing: wait at least a year, let the hype cool, and judge the business on real numbers. If you’ve ever felt FOMO on an IPO, hit play, then subscribe, share the episode with a friend who loves “can’t miss” stocks, and leave a review. What’s the most hyped investment you’ve ever regretted buying?
