Now that SpaceX is public, buy this ticker (no, not SpaceX or Tesla) (Ad)

The SpaceX IPO wasn't the big trade - according to Larry Benedict, founder of The Opportunistic Trader, it was the trigger. Benedict, who delivered a 279% return on cash in 2025 across a 20-year winning streak, says the listing launched what he calls the 'Final Phase of Elon's Master Plan.' He's identified one specific ticker - not SpaceX, Tesla, or any Elon-affiliated company - that he believes could see billions in inflows as this phase unfolds. He calls it his trade of the year.tc pixel
