I JUST Went on Primetime TV to talk about Trump’s SPAC!
FULL TRANSCRIPT
all right if you remember a couple
months back we were talking all about
this whole thing with gamestop well we
may have game stop 2.0 on our hands
right now wall street today was in a
frenzy as president trump reportedly
mulls a cancel-free social media
universe shares behind what they call a
special purpose
acquisition company or a spac that is
taking trump's platform public soared
for a second day in a row you can check
it out under the ticker symbol dwac it's
a lot to break down here to help us do
just that is one of youtube's most
watched financial analysts and the
founder of the youtube channel meet
kevin a channel with nearly half a
billion views kevin pathrath welcome to
the show thank you for joining us and
just for disclosure purposes when i saw
this happening i was so excited i went
out and bought a bunch so i have
invested in this uh i don't know exactly
what it is yet that's why i have you on
kevin i want to start with just telling
me and everyone else what's a spak
absolutely so spec is just basically a
bunch of people getting together saying
hey we should take a company public
let's put a bunch of money into a fund
and let's let a leader go find which
company we want to bring public so it's
a blank check company you get shares at
ten dollars usually ten dollars
sometimes twenty in this case ten
dollars and the goal is that they bring
something public when the announcement
came out that this group dwac was
bringing the trump media technology
group public the thing exploded
okay that's fascinating so you talk
about dwac and i also want to understand
what about this new stock we are hearing
today called fun
spelled f
sorry p-h-u-n how is fun
related to dwac
exactly so look the big thing with dwac
is of course a cancelling cancel culture
and fun is associated with dwac not by
any hard connection other than the fact
that a fun
p-h-u-n helped donald trump run ads in
2019 and 2020 for his political campaign
and so it's really only running under
the belief that they might be connected
with once dwac becomes an actual company
and we actually have a real social media
platform because here's the thing right
now dwac and the trump technology group
they have zero dollars in revenues any
social media company is going to need to
attract advertisers and you're gonna
need more than my pillow you're gonna
need a lot of advertisers so it makes
sense that investors are looking for
companies that can help them get
advertisers
okay so just break this down so spac
is a a
fund where a bunch of people say go out
and buy a company take it public i get
that but then we've got dwac which i
still don't entirely understand what
that company is that they've apparently
bought like with gamestop there was a
store i could walk into it i could see
gamestop i could it's in a strip mall
amc is a movie theater i could go into
amc so what is dwac i mean can i touch
it can i go into it what am i buying
into with this spac dwac what am i
getting for my money
you're getting hope uh that's what
you're getting right now is hope uh
you're getting so it's trading at 100
bucks ish
you're telling me that i i so it started
in like the single dollars it closed
yesterday in the 40s today went as high
as like 147 and people are buying hope
yeah that's correct that's 75
this company posts its merger so when it
actually becomes when this merger
completes which is what a spac is but
but that aside once that merger happens
it's going to be valued at about 12.8
billion dollars at 75 a share that's
where it's trading right now pretty high
for a company that doesn't have a
platform yet you know we've got sign ups
we got a sign up website truthsocial.com
you could pre-order the app in the apple
app store but we have no idea if
advertisers are going to use the
platform if people are going to use the
platform we expect them of course too
right we all hate cancel culture i hate
censorship look when i ran for governor
in california before i had green hair i
got cancelled by facebook and censored i
am a big protester for this so this is
leading to a lot of enthusiasm people
see this as voting for uh
anti-censorship anti-big tech that's
really what you're paying for so you're
paying for anti-censorship supporting
donald trump supporting conservatism and
and really just voting against the
mainstream liberal agendas that we see
in big tech
yeah interestingly enough though it's
going to be interesting to watch what
the advertisers actually do because
they've been
because of the trump involvement but i
do want to ask is this the type of stock
you hold on to as an investment that's
that's what i think i want to know
i
i would say maybe in three months when
it comes back and rubber bands back down
closer to ten dollars it's not something
i would hold on to right now and here's
why for the last two days this stock has
been so popular it's been almost
impossible to short which means you
can't have people making those counter
bets against the price which has gone up
a lot well jp morgan i spoke with them
this morning in the institutional
division they're expecting these shares
to come up available for short monday
and tuesday and a lot of them okay so
people who think this is going to go
down they're going to short it sorry
okay kevin stop stop and explain this to
me real just
i want to make sure i understand if i
wanted to sell the stock i can sell it
but i just can't short it there is a
difference correct
yeah exactly so if you own the stock and
you want to sell it you can do that but
if i don't own the stock let's say and
i'm like oh my gosh a hundred dollars is
too much i think it's going to go back
down to 20. i could borrow it from
somebody like you not you don't actually
have to do anything the brokers do that
for you i pay interest to the broker for
that right and and you get a little bit
the broker does all that for you and
then i could just sell it right away to
100 and then give it back to you when
it's at twenty dollars now i could get
you know burned if it goes way up but
this i think is gonna open up
maybe possibly all right kevin this is
super helpful i really appreciate the
way you broken this down because i need
to explain to my wife what i bought
yeah i just be careful here's one of the
things you got to remember when it comes
to these particular stocks that go up
really fast they are momentum stocks
you're not buying into fundamentals
you're buying into social media and
really what i call peak media and once
that media fades the price tends to go
down with it so just watch the social
trends how often it gets talked about in
the news once it gets out of the news
cycle it goes away best comparison pull
up quantum scape when they were in peak
media the thing went from 10
to 135 now it's 25 again
fascinating very helpful thank you so
much
but it doesn't end the movement stay
optimistic about the movement cancel
cancer culture and cancel censorship
yeah
thanks kevin thanks so much
thank you
