AJ is joined by Ethan, BKFi's bookkeeper extraordinaire and tax expert, for a wide-ranging episode recorded on the actual day of the SpaceX IPO. They dig into whether SpaceX should be fast-tracked into the S&P 500, what BKFi clients with the opportunity to buy shares at IPO price should actually be thinking about, and a Brooklyn brownstone being listed for Anthropic stock that is either clever marketing or a sign of the times. Then it's on to a Reuters story about hackers using Meta's AI chatbot to breach high-profile Instagram accounts, what it means for protecting your financial data in the age of AI, and Americans leaving the US in record numbers for the first time since the Great Depression. Plus a website called isaiprofitableyet.com that is tracking one very simple question. They close with a listener question about whether a small business owner making $95K in profit should elect S corp status, and Ethan breaks down exactly when it makes sense and when it does not. Topics covered: SpaceX IPO day and the 12-month S&P 500 waiting period Should you buy shares at the IPO price?
