In this episode of the Secure Your Retirement Podcast, Radon and Murs discuss the SpaceX IPO and what retirement-age investors need to think about before making any decision with their savings. SpaceX began trading on June 12, 2026, at a $1.75 trillion valuation, the largest IPO in stock market history, and the questions from clients started pouring in almost immediately. Rather than telling you whether SpaceX is a good or bad investment, Radon and Murs walk through a clear, honest framework for making sure whatever you decide is driven by your retirement plan and not the noise of the moment.

Listen in to learn about the real data behind how major IPOs have historically performed in their first year of trading, why your 401(k) or IRA may already be buying SpaceX without any action on your part, and the three questions every retiree should answer before putting retirement savings into any newly public company. Whether SpaceX is on your radar or you are simply trying to build better habits around big investment decisions, this episode gives you the tools to think clearly when the headlines get loud.

In this episode, find out:

What SpaceX actually is as a business, which of its three divisions is profitable today, and why the $1.75 trillion valuation is priced on the future rather than current earnings
What the last 30 major IPOs over the past 15 years reveal about first-year performance, including an average maximum drawdown of 50% to 55% and why it happens around the six-month mark
Why index rule changes mean millions of Americans may already be picking up SpaceX exposure through their existing 401(k) and IRA index funds
The critical difference between making a trade and making a long-term investment, and why that distinction should shape the entire decision for anyone nearing or already in retirement
Three questions to ask before buying any IPO, starting with the one that eliminates most bad decisions before they happen
