hey everyone me kevin here we've got an
update to talk about regarding cciv
to uh get us started with what the he
double hockey sticks is going on
with uh ccav let me give you a little
bit of a preview of uh basically exactly
what frickin happened
from february 16th here's a february
16th video
take a listen to this because this is
just a
rumored partnership that valuation
number could change
it can have a big big big impact on the
stock a lot of people are
really excited about this announcement
to happen because there's a thought that
as soon as lucid confirms
the cciv merger partnership people are
going to plow into the stock
which i think is true but if the
fundamentals of the deal
change and all of a sudden the valuation
comes out higher than expected because
ccv is getting fewer shares
this can be bloody it's gonna be bad so
uh
okay i guess we have a little bit of
talking to do
a little bit of splaining to do to
figure out
hey everyone me kevin here in this video
you're going to learn how the suits
screwed the retail investor again but
not only how the suits screwed the
retail investor
but how the suits convinced bloomberg
news and
reuters a newswire service both
extremely reliable publications
to pretty much lie to our faces now many
of you
are well up in the stock many of you
especially those of you in
my course on stocks in the psychology of
money have been in this stock
since around 18 or 19 per share maybe
even a little bit before that
and you're up double even after what
happened today
but some of you are in the stock higher
and ultimately all of us are wondering
where do we go from here after what
happened today because after all
what did even happen today well
here's an easy way to explain what
happened today first
on january 11th bloomberg listed an
article
uh or released an article that stated
lucid motors was going to potentially be
going public
via the special purpose acquisition
company or spac ticker symbol cciv which
stands for
churchill capital corporation number
four
in fact i have that publication right
here
and this becomes very important because
in this publication we will be able to
see
that uh cciv was basically taking
or was planning on taking lucid public
at a
future valuation of up to
15 billion dollars which we can write to
see right here
a transaction could be valued up to a 15
billion
dollars now the phraseology here ends up
becoming a very important
lesson for us all to pay attention to
but we'll circle back to
phraseology and how the suits like to
screw
the retail buyers but anyway in this
article we were told that the
transaction could be worth up to 15
billion dollars
and other publications picked this up
and said oh okay so
lucid's going to be worth 15 billion
dollars
and after this article the spac that was
listed for ten dollars per share
pretty much skyrocketed we bought it
around eighteen nineteen dollars per
share which again isn't as as early as
some people bought it but hey
you know that did very well in fact over
the next month
the 500 and 3 000 i put into this
particular stock
went to over 1.5 million
dollars a gain of over 1 million
or 3x that was when the stock went to
all-time highs of 64.85
now one of the reasons the stock tripled
is because after the january 11th
article reuters released another
article on february 16th just a little
over a month
later and in this february 16th article
reuters stated that cciv is quote
nearing
a deal with lucid motors this finally
gave validity to the rumor that oh my
gosh
lucid is probably like very likely
going to be striking a deal with cciv
this started putting to rest rumors that
some dude named chamath was going to
come along and steal this deal from cciv
and tried to take lucid public himself
in this article in the reuters article
reuters stated that the deal could be
worth up to 12
billion dollars and remove
the phrase transactional
value take a look at this that will
become very important in just a moment
reuters a luxury vehicle maker lucid
motors
is getting close to a deal to go public
at
a roughly 12 billion dollar valuation
after michael klein's blank check
company cciv
plans to take them public this was said
by
people familiar with the matter on
tuesday
okay got it so some people
let bloomberg and reuters know
that lucid could potentially be worth 12
to 15 billion
dollars after a partnership and this
news from reuters actually helped pump
up the stock
substantially because the this might
seem like a subtle difference
but this becomes very important the
little change that happened here
and there are a couple changes that
happened here the easiest way to
understand this
is simply to draw this out in the
simplest
terms possible so take a look at this on
january 11th bloomberg says
cciv is going to go public at ten
dollars per share via the spec
and it's going to be worth it's going to
value the deal at 15 billion
it's going to value lucid at 15
billion dollars which is great but then
on
february 16th we hear that oh wait a
minute
at 10 per share lucid might actually be
going public with a
12 billion dollar valuation
for lucid and the reason this matters is
because
let's say that uh over here in the month
of january
lucid stock is selling for forty dollars
per share
well forty dollars per share is four x
ten dollars per share which four
times 15 billion is about a 60 billion
dollar public valuation for lucid
this number becomes very very important
if you didn't see how i got that i'll
explain one more time really quickly
at 40 dollars per share for cciv when
you look at the stock cciv at 40
per share that's four times ten dollars
per share
that means the valuation goes up four
times four times 15 is 60 billion
dollars
okay should be on the same page now
reuters
came out on february 16th and said no no
no up to 12 billion dollars per share
okay a lower valuation that actually is
a good thing
that means we are buying a company at a
lower price
because a lot of us already bought the
shares it just means the shares we
bought
represent a cheaper company which means
it has more of a potential to go up
which is a good thing you want to get in
at a lower valuation anytime you do like
a private equity deal in the future
which you will in the future especially
if you follow the channel and the lead
here i'm going to guide you through all
this kind of craziness that goes on out
there
then you'll quickly realize you want to
buy things at lower valuations not
higher valuations but that should make
sense in public markets as well
okay so going back to this if let's say
this is now a 12 billion dollar
valuation like lucid motor said well
then what we can do is we could say okay
well what if the stock is trading for
five times fif ten dollars per share or
fifty dollars per share well fifty is
five times so 5 times 12
ah look that's also 60 billion dollars
in other words because of this reuters
article
the stock of cciv was totally able to go
from 40
to 50 literally no change in valuation
at all
simply because the underlying valuation
of lucid was changed which is crazy
okay great but why does all of this old
stuff matter
relative to what happened today well
here's why remember when i played that
video at the beginning of
this video to you from february 16th in
fact here's the thumbnail this is what
it was
posted one week ago is lucid motors cciv
stock a big mistake
when i posted this video look at some of
the comments
that i got and these are real comments
if you're so negative about this company
why not just buy a dump it and buy it
again at 30 dollars
that's obviously what the person meant
because a lot of people like oh my gosh
kevin
you're being so negative about this
company why don't you just sell it and
buy it again when it falls then if
you're gonna be so negative about it
then this person says you added nothing
new concerning if
cciv is merging with lucid your title is
misleading
my title is misleading is ccav stock a
big mistake
well i'm providing concerns and
i do answer whether or not it is a
mistake in the video
but okay anyway so people are angry
because i had a negative title and i
wasn't as
as you know posh as i should be i
suppose but here's a good one
look at this one this one takes the cake
for best comment right here
you are the most skeptical pessimistic
person on
cciv on all of youtube
especially for a guy who supposedly
invested 500
000 it's like you don't want lucid to
challenge your beloved tesla
wow really the jade is like level 10
000 here look folks i can't look folks i
can't make this up
this is an actual weeble it actually
shows
when i bought the stock for how much i
bought it like this is literally
my actual weeble account i can't i can't
make this up i'm not that good
so i don't think there's any question as
to whether i actually
realistically own this stock i think a
lot of times when i make videos i just
provide both sides of what could
potentially happen to a stock
some it could be good news there could
be bad news
and what was the warning that i provided
let's listen one more time and then
let's understand what the heck actually
happened today
listen to just these 10 seconds very
very closely it's very important
which i think is true but if the
fundamentals of the deal change
and all of a sudden the valuation comes
out higher than expected because ccav's
getting fewer shares
this can be bloody it's gonna be bad so
guess what happened folks the reason
cciv fell today is because the valuation
came in
substantially differently than what was
expected
lucid motors and the staff at lucid
motors ended up realizing oh damn
the stonk market really likes our stonk
they like the stock
lucid motors could potentially
renegotiate the deal we have and make a
whole lot more money
think about it let's say you're selling
a house for five hundred thousand
dollars
there's one offer on it and you say you
know the evening that you get this 500
000
offer okay okay i'll take the 500 000
offer
it's a verbal deal i'll sign the deal
tomorrow
very next day you wake up and all of a
sudden there are five offers on your
house and the highest offer is six
hundred thousand dollars
yeah you made a verbal deal but you
technically didn't sign anything
so why not just call up your agent and
go hey uh real estate agent
i want some more money for my deal i
want everything renegotiated
well folks enter what happened today
here's the first news update that came
through the bloomberg terminal
churchill capital four shares currently
trade on the new york stock exchange
under symbol cciv
the companies lucid and cciv
are going to combine at a transaction
equity value of 11.75 billion dollars
well when i first heard that i'm like oh
my god that's amazing
it's a lower value than the 15
billion dollars that bloomberg told us
about remember this
a transaction could be worth up to 15
billion dollars
from january or how about this it's
actually lower
than this 12 billion dollar evaluation
from reuters
oh my gosh this is really good news like
this is awesome right that's actually
less than what we thought this was going
to be valued at
oh but wait then the stock starts
falling because the very next news
update that comes through the bloomberg
terminal folks
is this lucid motors agrees to go public
through a merger with churchill capital
okay good
solidifying the rumors this is very good
news right
the companies are combining at a
transaction equity value of 11.75
billion dollars okay
great we already knew that that sounds
awesome the transaction values lucid at
an initial pro forma equity value of
approximately 24 billion dollars at the
pipe offer price of 15
per share
right there the suits screwed us
a 50 premium
to cciv's net asset value
holy crap what happened
here remember the homeowner example
where the homeowner wakes up one morning
and goes wow
i have more offers i want more money
folks that's exactly what happened here
in my opinion between
lucid and ccav and this is just my
opinion don't sue me
ccav or lucid but my opinion is they
realized that this stock was going to
the freaking moon and
lucid went over to cciv and said look we
need more money
and ccav's like oh man we kind of
already mentioned that you know we were
going to
have a transaction valued of up to 15
bill and loose it's probably like oh
well
we can have a transaction valued up to
15 bill but the value of lucid could be
more than that
it could be 24 billion dollars and
basically we could raise more money
at the expense of the retail investor
which is really frustrating
because look we're not making this up
yeah in the initial bloomberg article
they said a transaction could be valued
up to 15 billion
but folks reuters reuters said
would go public at a roughly 12
billion dollar valuation that means
lucid is probably gonna go public at
around 12 billion dollars
well it's actually going public at twice
that a valuation of
24 billion dollars and that creates some
big issues
basically here's what they did to us in
plain
simple english on january 11th we
thought the valuation was going to be
15 billion dollars which means at 40
dollars per share of cciv
the company's worth 60 bill on feb 15 we
thought oh my gosh
uh it's going to go public at 12 billion
because that's what reuters said
reuters didn't say transactional value
12 billion they said the company valued
at 12 billion
reuters click baited us the suits click
baited us
and that would have implied that at 50
per share the company would have had a
60 billion valuation well because the
company is actually going public
at 24 billion dollars
at peg to 15 per share then 60 billion
dollars actually equals
37.5 dollars per share which folks
the company right now in after hours is
trading for about
40 dollars per share so right around 64
and a bit billion
dollars 64 and a bit billion dollars
is basically the same as 50
a share a week ago or 40 dollars a share
a month and a half ago we just got
click-baited in the meantime
by the new cycle which is really really
frustrating so where does that leave us
today well at about 64 billion dollars
which is roughly where the valuation is
now at 40
per share this company is just shy of
the size of gm
which is valued at about 74.9 billion
dollars
it's worth more than x ping by twice
x ping is only worth 30 billion dollars
and it's worth 16 billion
less than neos 80 billion market cap
it's obviously a far cry
from the market cap of tesla but for a
company with a lot of potential and
promise
there are a lot of folks really excited
about
lucid so my strategy going forward and i
know that there's a big 71-page slide
deck presentation i'm not going to read
through all that hoo-ha
uh here in this video i will be
providing my breakdown analysis
on that but you got to be careful
usually that's just a big marketing
pitch
so you got to be very careful on that i
just wanted to use this video as an
opportunity to explain what the heck
happened in the share price today why
did we see this massive decline of 30
why would the share price plummet like
this it's because of the revaluation
that happened
it's that simple does it mean the
company is all of a sudden
a fundamentally different company no
does it mean we got click baited by the
suits and taken advantage by the suits
yes we got screwed by the suits does it
mean that the company is all of a sudden
not going to deliver its car in
june or july and start selling vehicles
no i think there's actually a very good
chance of seeing
the lucid vehicle hit the roads or hit
roads
in june or july you know sometime this
summer we'll see
so i'm very excited about the stock i'm
still bullish
my opinion based on these new valuations
is that this stock
is probably something i'll add to if it
gets
under 40 dollars per share which it did
very briefly and after hours
i mentioned to course members these
price targets already well after hours
were still open
i explained all of this to course
members in a little summary
uh pitch that i sent out to everyone so
there is a big value for you being in
the course if you want to get
information right away
that's that's where i can quickly send a
message out and get it get it out to you

make sure to check out that coupon code
down below hodl or huddle however you'd
like to say it
go to that website uh and check out the
course uh we pay once and you get
lifetime access
to all my alerts and my content but
anyway
uh to me yeah today this valuation is
revaluation
it's a bummer the price obviously got
hurt because of this revaluation
it also means that if this stock goes up
to like 60 or 70 bucks a share
it might start meaning okay maybe we got
to start looking for the exits a little
sooner than we had to before
i'm not going to set any hard exit price
for this certainly if i made any changes
i'll send alerts and i'll make a video
on it
but for right now i will say that this
stock for me
is a buy under 40 and it's a heavy buy
under probably like under 32 under 30
a share i'd buy this more heavily until
then i might just nibble on it under 40
if it falls under there
revaluation happened still a great
company many of us are up 2x on our
money
i'm diamond handing this thing it's a
great company
this is just a full detailed explanation
of the shenanigans that go on in the
stock market
hopefully you found this helpful if you
did consider sharing what happened today
so
people can learn from this and folks
we'll see in the next video
