The 1,700%+ Lesson From SpaceX’s IPO
SpaceX IPO’d at a $1.75T valuation. Three business days later, they were the sixth-most valuable public company.
Those who bought at the opening bell saw a 40% gain. Andreessen Horowitz, who invested back in 2023? 1,700%+. The lesson? Today’s biggest growth comes at the private stage.
It’s why institutions love private-stage opportunities. A similar dynamic’s playing out in lithium, where General Motors backed $1B+ private unicorn EnergyX. Except this time, you can join them.
EnergyX’s patented tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. And with lithium prices up 75% this year and demand projected to grow 5X by 2040, they’re perfectly positioned.
After opening America’s largest lithium production facility of its kind, EnergyX is preparing to unlock up to 13M tons. Become a private-stage EnergyX before the 7/16 deadline.

Good morning, and welcome to the weekend. The market is closed today, which means no prices to chase and nothing to react to. That is exactly the kind of quiet the best traders use to get organized. So this is a lighter edition: a quick look back at the week, then a project you can finish in twenty minutes. Building your first watchlist.
The week in one minute
It was a wild week for the market, and a foundational one for us.
In the market: the S&P 500 kept setting records, but the ride was bumpy. Chip stocks tumbled Tuesday on fears out of Samsung, whipsawed through an Iran-driven Wednesday, then came roaring back Thursday and Friday to fresh highs. The takeaway from the tape: strong markets do not move in a straight line.
In your inbox: Week 2 was all about how the market actually works. We covered what “the stock market” really is, the difference between the NYSE and Nasdaq, the bid-ask spread, the three trading sessions, and what the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow each measure.
You now understand the machinery. Today we start using it.
Your first watchlist
A watchlist is simply a short list of stocks you follow closely. It is the single most useful habit a beginner can start, and almost every serious trader keeps one. Here is why it matters: there are thousands of stocks, and you cannot watch them all. A watchlist shrinks the whole market down to a handful you know well, so that when one of them starts to move, you notice.
The good news is you can build a solid starter list this weekend, in about twenty minutes. Here is how.
Five steps to build it this weekend
1. Open a free tool. Your broker's app works, or a free charting site (TradingView is a popular one). You do not need to spend a cent.
2. Start with companies you already know. The stores you shop at, the phone in your pocket, the apps you open every day. You understand those businesses better than you think, and that is a genuine edge.
3. Add the market itself. Drop in the S&P 500 (ticker SPY) and the Nasdaq (QQQ), the two we covered yesterday. Now you always have the market's backdrop sitting next to your stocks.
4. Keep it small. Ten to twenty names to start. A short list you actually check every day beats a giant one you ignore.
5. Look at it once a day. The evening, after the close, works well. Just notice which of your names are acting strong and which are weak. That is enough for now.
One rule for now: do not buy anything yet
This is observation, not action. The point of a watchlist today is to train your eye, not to place a trade. Over the coming months we will teach you exactly what makes a stock worth buying: the CAN SLIM traits, the chart patterns, the right moment to act. But none of that lands until you are in the habit of watching. The watchlist is your practice field, and a quiet weekend is the perfect time to build it.
REPLY WITH ONE THING
Build your watchlist this weekend, even a rough one. Reply with the first five tickers you put on it and one reason you picked each. Starting is the hardest part, and you will have done it.
