And so now let's get into exactly what's going on here.
So in chapter two, in the past, what we have seen is that companies have decided, you know what?
I want to IPO.
I want to raise more money.
Like, let's do this.
And Amazon would be a good example.
They IPO in like 1997.
And they were like, this is, you know, this is working for us.
This is what we're going to do.
Let's IPO.
Amazon was a small cap company back then.
Like it was around like $500 million, which is like now such an embarrassing number for them.
But at the time, that's what they were at.
When companies wanted to IPO to retail investors, they were growth stocks because, like I said, they were small.
Amazon was only a small cap.
It had room to grow to become a large cap or a mega large cap.
And so if you invested early or if you had Amazon stock in your index fund,
there was room for it to grow even if it took a year before it came on the index.
In fact, Amazon is a good example because it didn't make it onto the S&P 500 index fund until eight years after it IPO'd.
What that means is that even though it was on the share market for the first eight years, there was still so much room for the company's share price to increase that it didn't really matter that it wasn't there at the start.
