250 years ago today, a group of colonists declared that ordinary people should get to decide their own future.
That idea built the most powerful country and economy the world has ever seen. And I’m so proud and grateful to celebrate our country’s Independence Day.
The stock market is near record highs. And the IPO market is heating up – thanks to the massive $2 trillion SpaceX IPO.
Now that SpaceX is public - 5 secret partners are critical to achieving Elon Musk’s Ultimate Master Plan. And investors could be looking at quick gains of 185% - 428%.
For most of the last four years, the IPO window was shut. Companies stayed private. Regular investors were locked out.
That's changed in 2026.
The market reopened in a big way — culminating with the largest IPO in history.
SpaceX (Nasdaq: SPCX) went public on June 12 at $135 per share. It raised roughly $86 billion, shattering the old record. Shares now trade around $157, up about 16.7% from the IPO price.
And SpaceX is far from the only winner.
Swarmer (Nasdaq: SWMR) priced at $5 and now trades above $41 — a 724% return from its IPO price. Veradermics (Nasdaq: MANE) is up more than 650%. Cerebras Systems (Nasdaq: CBRS), the AI chip company, raised $5.5 billion and popped 68% on its first day.
Across dozens of deals this year, early buyers have done very well.
Here's why this is important.
Initial Public Offerings are the mechanism that allows private companies to become public. And that allows regular people to invest and profit from our country’s leading companies.
The pipeline ahead is the strongest I've seen in years.
Anthropic is reportedly targeting an IPO as early as October. OpenAI is weighing a public offering in late 2026 or 2027. Perplexity and a wave of other AI companies are also considering going public.
The market is open again, and the biggest names in technology are lining up.
It’s America's 250th birthday. I'm feeling optimistic — about our country and the opportunities ahead for investors.
These 5 hidden SpaceX partners could see windfall profits as a result of Elon Musk’s Ultimate Master Plan.
Happy Fourth of July!
