What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBloomberg reports Jeff Bezos says a Blue Origin IPO makes sense within the next few years. Timing is uncertain. Joining us is Dr.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMarguerite Plunkett-Oyelaran of the Institute for Orbital Hunches.
Dr. Marguerite Plunkett-OyelaranChip, thank you. I predicted this IPO, and also its opposite. My book, Rocket Math for Cowards, is available wherever hunches are sold.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBold! So, doctor, Bloomberg says within a few years. Is that a good time to go public?
Dr. Marguerite Plunkett-OyelaranA few years is a perfect window. Unless it's sooner, which I also called. Or never, which is chapter nine. I hedge in hardcover.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorChapter nine! Doctor, the editor's angle says billions in value could be unlocked, but nothing is certain.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDid you actually put a date in the book?
Dr. Marguerite Plunkett-OyelaranI put six dates. Three are in the index, one is on the dust jacket, and two I wrote on a napkin during turbulence.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's not a forecast, that's a drive-through order. Which of the six do you stand behind?
Dr. Marguerite Plunkett-OyelaranHonestly, Chip, I stand behind the napkin. The airline pretzel crumbs were very persuasive and I trust them more than the Fed.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorPretzel crumbs! Now Amazon is the ticker on our story. Would an IPO matter to Amazon holders, in your opinion?
Dr. Marguerite Plunkett-OyelaranOpinion only, I am legally a vibes professional. It could matter hugely, or not at all. Both outcomes are in the paperback.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDoctor, you called everything and its opposite, and I respect that more than a county fair funnel cake. We'll have to leave it there.
Dr. Marguerite Plunkett-OyelaranThank you, Chip. Preorder now, and if the IPO happens, I called it. If it doesn't, check the sequel, Rocket Math for Cowards Two.
