Friday, SpaceX debuts on the Nasdaq. The headlines say it could mint around 4,000 new millionaires. Everyone's going to ask the same question: "should I buy it?" Here's what almost nobody will say out loud. An IPO is not the entry. It's the exit. It is the moment the people who got in years ago, the founders, the early employees, the venture funds, finally turn their paper into cash. The insiders get liquid, and the public gets to buy what the insiders are ready to sell. By the time it hits your brokerage app, the smartest money in the room is on the other side of your trade. Now hear me clearly. This is not me saying SpaceX is a bad company, or that you should never own a piece of it. It might be one of the most important companies of our lifetime. The lesson is not "never." The lesson is "not like this, and not right now." Here is how these big IPOs usually play out. Day one, there is a wave of hype and a run-up. Everybody piles in. The early insiders are mostly locked up and cannot sell yet. Then a few months in, that lock-up lifts, the people who got in early finally cash out their profits, and the stock takes a real dip. That sell-off, after the hype dies down and the price comes back to earth, is often the smarter entry. Not the headline. The hangover. So patience is the play. Let the hype run. Let the insiders take their exit. Then look at the business with clear eyes and decide if you want to own it at a price that makes sense, instead of a price built on launch-day adrenaline. And while everyone is staring at the ticker, there is a second move hiding in plain sight. You don't only build wealth in the stock. You build it owning the things the boom needs. Look at Brownsville, Texas right now. SpaceX put a launch site there in 2014, and land that "you couldn't give away" went vertical. Co-workers were bidding against each other on houses. Now the IPO is about to pour even more liquid money into that same little market. We have the original version of that story in our own backyard. The Space Coast. Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Port Canaveral, and a whole stack of employers (SpaceX, Blue Origin, ULA, NASA, L3Harris) driving jobs and people into the area. I already own a rental here through C3 Properties, and I am underwriting more right now.

I'm putting my money where my mouth is. I opened a SoFi account specifically for The Boardroom. $100 every two weeks. $200 a month. Starting from zero. And you're going to watch every single move I make. No cherry-picked screenshots. No "look at my gains" after the fact. You're seeing this from Day 1, in real time, including the red days. Here's what I've done so far: April 7 - First deposit: $100 April 10 - Bought QQQ @ $611/share (0.16 shares) April 15 - SoFi welcome bonus: $5 (free money is free money) April 16 - Deposited another $100 April 16 - Bought VOO @ $644/share (0.0077 shares) April 16 - Bought SOFI @ $19.05/share (5.24 shares) Why these three? QQQ = Top 100 tech companies (Nasdaq) VOO = Top 500 US companies (S&P 500) SOFI = I use the platform, I believe in the company. Buy what you know. Total invested so far: ~$200 Already up +3.32% ($6.81) in two weeks. And that's the point. You don't need thousands to start. $200 and two weeks later the money is already working. Imagine what consistency looks like over 5, 10, 20 years. This is exactly what we talked about in the investing lesson - open the account, fund it, buy your first shares, and stay consistent. I'm doing the same thing I'm teaching you. Every two weeks I'll post an update with what I bought and how the portfolio is doing. You'll see the ups, the downs, and the decisions behind every move. Your move: If you haven't opened your account yet, this is your sign. Start with whatever you've got. Post your first buy in the comments. Let's build together. **Not financial advice** Just a guy building in public. Stay starving, Execs.

What’s good Execs As promised I’m keeping up the account. Just deposited another $100 (today is payday!) and bought 5.46 more shares of $SOFI! I am planning on scaling in and building up this position. Currently now up to over $300 in the account and we just started this month! **This is not financial advice** I personally just like SOFI and I think they are a great company for the long term. I am buying now however it could go a little bit lower back to that $16-$17 range. If that happens the plan is still going to be the same I just get to acquire more shares at a better price! If you have a long term strategy the interim price does not matter. In the long run stock go up! Investing isn’t “fun” but as you keep adding to your portfolio little by little you’ll look up and have thousands in your account! Stay locked in, Stay Invested, and Stay Starving!
