SpaceX is preparing for one of the biggest IPOs in market history — and OpenAI and Anthropic may not be far behind.In this interview with Wealthion’s Maggie Lake, WindRock Wealth Management founder Brett Rentmeester explains why this is not a normal IPO cycle. These companies are already so large that they could become major components of the S&P 500, potentially affecting investors whether they buy the IPOs directly or simply own index funds.Brett breaks down the risks for retail investors, why most people may not get access to the actual IPO price, how lockups and insider selling can create pressure, and why trillion-dollar valuations leave little room for error.For investors chasing the next big tech trade, Brett’s warning is clear: this IPO wave may create huge opportunity — but it may also bring major market risk. 💡Brett Rentmeester says this IPO wave could affect investors whether they buy these companies directly or simply own index funds.
