Freedom 250 Recap with Bo Nickal, The Hand Anthropic Was Dealt, Fox Buys Roku | Bo Nickal, Gavin Baker, Leif Abraham, Aaron Ginn, Rafael Vivas

But I saw Jason Calacanis fire back, say, hey, you can create a synthetic index that you want to own the S&P 499.

TBPN

Just go do that.

Freedom 250 Recap with Bo Nickal, The Hand Anthropic Was Dealt, Fox Buys Roku | Bo Nickal, Gavin Baker, Leif Abraham, Aaron Ginn, Rafael Vivas

And it seemed a little complicated.

TBPN
Freedom 250 Recap with Bo Nickal, The Hand Anthropic Was Dealt, Fox Buys Roku | Bo Nickal, Gavin Baker, Leif Abraham, Aaron Ginn, Rafael Vivas

How complicated is it actually to do that today if you're genuinely so bearish on SpaceX that it can't touch your portfolio?

TBPN

Because you could go short or you could just buy everything else in equal proportion, but then there's reweighting that happens and it's sort of complicated.

TBPN

But where are we from someone being able to just do that with a prompt or a click these days?

TBPN
Freedom 250 Recap with Bo Nickal, The Hand Anthropic Was Dealt, Fox Buys Roku | Bo Nickal, Gavin Baker, Leif Abraham, Aaron Ginn, Rafael Vivas

Yep, have to be profitable for a certain amount of quarters.

TBPN
Freedom 250 Recap with Bo Nickal, The Hand Anthropic Was Dealt, Fox Buys Roku | Bo Nickal, Gavin Baker, Leif Abraham, Aaron Ginn, Rafael Vivas

Have to be a certain size.

TBPN
Freedom 250 Recap with Bo Nickal, The Hand Anthropic Was Dealt, Fox Buys Roku | Bo Nickal, Gavin Baker, Leif Abraham, Aaron Ginn, Rafael Vivas

Yeah, totally makes sense.

TBPN
Freedom 250 Recap with Bo Nickal, The Hand Anthropic Was Dealt, Fox Buys Roku | Bo Nickal, Gavin Baker, Leif Abraham, Aaron Ginn, Rafael Vivas

I understand the critique.

TBPN

And also like when I think about the S&P 500, I think most people mentally think, okay, I'm gonna have 0.2% in every company, but of course it's cap weighted.

TBPN

And when you see a 2 trillion behemoth come into the index, you're like, well, that could be like 3% of my portfolio, maybe 5% of my portfolio if it runs.

TBPN
Freedom 250 Recap with Bo Nickal, The Hand Anthropic Was Dealt, Fox Buys Roku | Bo Nickal, Gavin Baker, Leif Abraham, Aaron Ginn, Rafael Vivas

And I don't want that index exposure necessarily.

TBPN
Freedom 250 Recap with Bo Nickal, The Hand Anthropic Was Dealt, Fox Buys Roku | Bo Nickal, Gavin Baker, Leif Abraham, Aaron Ginn, Rafael Vivas

Of course, everyone has different risk tolerances, different preferences, but good to know that there's an alternative out there.

Jordy, anything else?

And also, the market, I felt like there was one narrative that was like, if SpaceX wins, everyone else loses because there's gonna be so much rotation out of everything else, but the market's performed well today and stuff, and that's not what's happened at all.
