Stop Buying Stocks on Fidelity (Do This Instead)
from We Live to Build
Is AI about to replace your stock broker? Christine Healey, a pre-IPO investment expert, explains why Claude AI missed a critical detail in a deal that could have cost her client millions—and why human brokers are still essential in the private market. In this interview, Christine and Sean discuss the "wild west" of pre-IPO investing, how to avoid scams when buying shares of companies like SpaceX and Stripe, and the secret tax strategies (like the Peter Thiel Roth IRA hack) that can save you millions. They also debate whether employees selling shares before an IPO is a red flag or just smart financial planning.
