CFO Corner 26: The Most Expensive Feeling in Investing & Stocks

Everyone's talking about that one stock right now — the one with the rockets, the famous founder, and the record-breaking IPO. So should you actually buy individual stocks? In this 10-minute check-in, Meghan breaks down why funds come first for most of us, when picking up a single stock is totally okay, and what the SpaceX hype can teach you about thinking like a CFO instead of getting swept up in the noise. Plus: a smarter on-ramp if you do want individual stocks, and one 10-minute action step to run this week. In this episode: – Why "funds first" protects you while you learn – The real cost of FOMO (and why excitement isn't a strategy) – The SpaceX case study: same company, wildly different analyst calls – When individual stocks make sense — and the two honest conditions – Dividend stocks as a lower-drama starting point Your one CFO move this week: Open your investment account and find the percentage that's in individual stocks vs. diversified funds.
