Gary explains how they pushed him toward investing, why he now works through Merrill Lynch and Charles Schwab, and what he’s learned while building a portfolio after divorce. The discussion covers pre-IPO investing, Gary’s major SpaceX-related position, Elon Musk, AI volatility, dollar-cost averaging, and long-term wealth strategy. Vlad also shares his own approach, including Google, Amazon, Tesla, Nvidia, Bitcoin, S&P 500 retirement investing, and borrowing against a stock portfolio instead of selling assets. They also touch on Jeff Bezos’ Prometheus, Anthropic, Atlanta real estate, Airbnb property, and the mindset shift from saving cash to owning assets. #GaryOwen #VladStocks #StockMarket #Investing #SpaceX #ElonMusk #Nvidia #Google #Amazon #Tesla
