Three things are happening simultaneously and small business owners are caught in the middle of all of them.

This is the inflection point.

The question is what you do when you see it coming.

S&P Dow Jones Indices is considering cutting the IPO seasoning period in half and waiving profitability requirements entirely for megacap companies. The companies positioned to benefit? SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic — none of whom have proven a single thing on a public market. Not one quarter. Not one earnings report. Nothing.

Don’t let the false prophets of capitalism fool you into thinking this is a sound financial move. This is Elon and a handful of billionaires who want to skip a line that has held for nearly 70 years — and they have the access and the money to make officials move it for them.

Roughly $24 trillion is tied to the S&P 500. Your 401k. Your retirement. Your index funds. They move automatically when new companies are added. You do not get a vote.

This is a gamble with your money. A consolidation of wealth in its grossest form. And a hostile takeover of your retirement dressed up as market innovation.
