the existence of $100B+ (let alone $1T+) private market companies is truly tragic for retail investors
microsoft IPO'd at an $800m market cap and did a 6000x+ in the public markets (dividends reinvested)
Anthropic, the next microsoft++, will enter the public markets north of $1T -- with relatively little upside left
retail (100m+ americans!) having no exposure or extremely-late-exposure to many of the best companies in the world is bad for everyone imo
ofc, I am also just expressing my own max pain at this Anthropic revenue ramp
