SkyBridge Capital<\/strong> founder Anthony Scaramucci<\/strong> says his biggest investing regret is selling winners too early and now plans to hold long-term stakes in SpaceX<\/strong> and Anthropic<\/strong> despite soaring valuations.<\/p>\n

Early Exit From JPMorgan Still Shapes His Thinking<\/strong> <\/p>\n

On Thursday, Scaramucci said that one of his biggest investing mistakes was exiting strong positions too soon, particularly his early investment in JPMorgan Chase & Co.<\/strong> in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

He said that had he simply held the stock, dividends alone would have matched his original investment. Instead, he sold early and redirected capital into other strategies that underperformed in comparison.<\/p>\n

“The biggest mistake in my career is selling things too early,” Scaramucci wrote on X<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why He Plans To Hold SpaceX Long-Term<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Scaramucci said that experience is shaping how he approaches current investments, including Elon Musk’s SpaceX<\/strong>. While acknowledging that valuations may look stretched, he argued that long-term value creation matters more.<\/p>\n

“To me, I think even though the valuation is ridiculous, Elon Musk is a champion of value creation,” he said, adding that he intends to “hold it through” market cycles rather than take early profits.<\/p>\n

He also pointed to private market activity and secondary transactions involving SpaceX as evidence of rising long-term confidence in the company.<\/p>\n

Small Anthropic Bet, Big Lesson<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Scaramucci also discussed an early investment in artificial intelligence firm Anthropic<\/strong>, saying he invested about $50,000 at an estimated $18 billion valuation.<\/p>\n

While the position has grown significantly, he said he regrets not investing more.<\/p>\n

“Why didn’t I put a half a million or a million?” he said, calling it another example of undercommitting to high-potential companies.<\/p>\n

Despite that regret, he said he continues to use Anthropic’s AI tools regularly and does not plan to sell his stake.<\/p>\n

Scaramucci concluded that experience has taught him to be more patient, noting that investing requires accepting “unintended consequences” and long-term conviction.<\/p>\n

S&P 500, Nasdaq Weigh Rule Changes Ahead Of SpaceX IPO<\/strong> <\/p>\n

The S&P 500, managed by S&P Dow Jones Indices<\/strong>, said Thursday it has opened a consultation on potential rule changes that could allow faster inclusion of companies such as SpaceX in the benchmark index.<\/p>\n

The move comes as SpaceX moves closer to a potential IPO, with reports indicating it may be leaning toward a Nasdaq listing.<\/p>\n

Separately, Nasdaq has proposed changes to Nasdaq 100 eligibility rules, including faster index entry and the use of both listed and unlisted shares in calculating market capitalization.<\/p>\n

Alongside SpaceX, OpenAI<\/strong>, led by Sam Altman<\/strong>, is also expected to consider a public debut this year.<\/p>\n

Rival Anthropic is reportedly targeting a $900 billion valuation in its latest pre-IPO funding round, highlighting growing momentum in the AI sector.<\/p>\n
