00:01:19.860And I think last year was, I'm going to find the chart that I have on here.
00:01:25.120And so right now we're talking about that the IPO market has broken back open.
00:01:30.620I believe the number is we've already had 28 IPOs this year, which is almost more than we had last year.
00:01:39.060And when we just look at the number of IPOs, and we're about to have what's called the summer of IPOs, which in the middle of May was kicked off by Cerebras coming out.
00:01:47.500And their IPO price, the price that all the insiders and the big institutions got, was $185, $185.
00:01:57.320At the first minute of trading, it jumped out, I think it was $350, almost double, $370 would have been double.
00:02:07.300And then the interday high was actually 2x the price.
00:02:13.940They had 20 times the interest in the IPO than they actually could serve.
00:02:20.240And so all of those folks, a big chunk of them, some of the institutions stepped back because they don't want to be part of the pop and drop on day one.
00:02:28.760However, a lot of the retail people that wanted to get in, even high-end retail, they jumped right in.
00:02:35.880And that's what helps drive the price on day one.
00:02:40.020And we can see just yesterday they were up 18%.
00:02:43.080And so they've settled, I think, in the $250, $260 range is where $225 today and just two days ago they were up at $250, which is up above that $185 IPO price.
00:02:58.360So, so far, this is a success, and now we've got the big three, SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI are coming out later in the fall because everybody wants to give SpaceX about 90 days to suck the oxygen out of the room.
00:03:14.720By the way, just out of curiosity, and I'll come to you with the same question as well.
00:03:18.960If you were looking at these individual stocks, and you're going to put a million dollars into it, okay, and you have access to it.
00:08:59.920You still got to go build this stuff and it takes time.
00:09:02.140And by the way, with SpaceX, if it's a one and a half, whatever the number is, trillion dollar valuation, what do you think is going to be in 10 years?
00:09:08.940You think it'll be 15 trillion in 10 years?
00:09:10.660You think it's got what it takes to 10x in 10 years?
00:09:12.840I think that we drastically underestimate how big these markets get, right?
00:09:16.640So if you go back and you look at, for example, let's just take SpaceX as a company.
00:09:21.020If in 2000 you said, hey, there's a company that could be worth a trillion dollars.
00:09:24.300Forget SpaceX as a company, but just like any company could be worth a trillion.0.97
00:10:24.280And so if you think about what's happening here is you're starting to realize that having access to data, having access to resources, you are going to compound that advantage.
00:10:34.080And so if you're a trillion-dollar company like Eli Lilly, if all of a sudden you can go to $5 trillion, $10 trillion, well, that becomes super interesting because maybe the risk-adjusted return on these big companies is actually much more attractive than going and allocating to some early-stage startup or trying to go and pick some smaller market cap company.
00:10:52.400And so I just think that, like, we underestimate the market size,
00:10:55.580we underestimate the importance of scale, and these companies have that.
00:10:58.700By the way, this is so important for the average person listening to not be left behind
00:11:03.380because you ever hear the stories about the rich get richer, the poor get poorer?
00:11:06.940It's because the rich during these times, they're involved in equities.
00:11:10.360When it goes, it goes, and the poor sits there and thinks about it,
00:11:13.760and then the disparity between the two gets wider and wider and wider,
00:11:16.740and people say, why is this happening?
00:11:29.600I think they're going to be extinct in a couple of years.
00:11:32.100They've completely lost strategic clarity.
00:11:34.040They're coming out with these new ideas saying, oh, yeah, we're not worried about ChatGPT anymore.
00:11:38.460We're going to create all these chatbots and have things operate on your behalf like they're talking about in that article we're going to get to.
00:11:45.080so wouldn't touch open ai but uh yeah i think anthropics and powerhouse i think spacex the
00:11:50.480whole world's going to run off of it uh with the you know what wi-fi um what that's going to do
00:11:55.000military applications like you know a lot of the drone warfare is completely dependent on um what
00:11:59.800uh what is it uh their satellites do with uh starlink and um yeah with the the cerbros company
00:12:07.320it's probably the only competitor to nvidia i mean you know their whole thing is they um they're
00:12:12.060coming out with like the bigger chips because they're saying it's a shorter distance that the
00:12:15.160electrons have to travel across instead of like a bunch of small chips they have the one big chip
00:12:18.980so you know nvidia's got 80 of the chip making gpu markets so somebody's got to take some of that
00:12:23.980you know they're probably the most realistic competitor they have a i think a deal with
00:12:27.200amazon and open ai for great you want that you want i want to know who's number two to nvidia
00:12:31.940competition because they're still going to get some market shares 38 of you guys are business
00:12:36.040owners if you're a business owner this is by far the worst season to go through it by yourself so
00:12:40.700Vault Conference. If you haven't yet registered, Rob, you may want to play this clip. Every one of
00:12:46.140us is one relationship away from taking our lives and our business to the next level. I want you to
00:12:50.800hear this story about what a friend of Elon Musk ended up doing just because of becoming friends
00:12:54.840with him. Go ahead, Rob. Have you heard about Elon Musk's friend named Antonio Gracios, who
00:12:58.780allegedly they made in the mid-90s networking, they became friends, and he lent Elon a million
00:13:04.180dollars, which somehow, someway ends up owning 7.3% of SpaceX. That million dollars today,
00:13:09.760according to Entrepreneur Magazine, could be worth between $100 billion to $150 billion,
00:13:15.320making them top 50 richest men in the world.
