SPACs are about to EXPLODE | New Infinite Money Glitch
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone meet kevin here in this
video we're going to be talking about
sparks and what sparked sparks and
comparing sparks to specs
yeah now
there's a lot here to digest but we're
going to make it really really easy
because i have a feeling these are going
to become just as popular as spax were
in 2020 at the beginning of 2021 and now
you're gonna start seeing these things
trading on markets called
sparks
and you gotta know what they are so
first to understand sparks you have to
understand specs remember that a spec is
really consistent of a blank check
company
that leaders or promoters and their
attorneys put together then they get a
pool of investors the pipe and they
raise money together usually at a par
value of ten dollars though sometimes
twenty dollars and the individuals who
invest get a share of this back at a at
whatever the par value is so ten dollars
or twenty dollars and there are also
warrants that people could invest in
which are basically just options call
options to be able to purchase more
shares at some point in the future when
the company itself calls for redemptions
now don't worry if you lost any of that
not that big of a deal but the most
important part is that a spac is just a
bundle of money
that is public
and it's looking to take an existing
company that's private public and so
they merge together and now they're
public together and then they change the
name and perfect you're done now you've
taken a company that wasn't public
public through this streamlined sec
review process known as a spac
it's had one heck of a reputation though
because a lot of specs ipo with these
investor presentations that aren't
exactly this realistic presentation of
what the company is likely to do but
instead there are a lot of opium about
what the company might do and because
they're specs they go through less
regulation so a lot of these performance
statements are accepted now here's the
thing
nasdaq has reported that on average the
first day that spax end up ipoing they
tend to run up about 18
obviously there are a lot of variables
here but that would be about a dollar
and 80
profit on average per share on ipo day
but now this is where things get fun
wouldn't you like the opportunity
to buy a potential spec
at whatever the ipo price is
so let's say for example dwack the
donald trump's back goes from ten
dollars to
fifty dollars wouldn't it be nice to
have the right to buy
shares at ten dollars that'd be pretty
cool right and since the average
expected ipo profit is a buck 80 it
would seem that the value of being able
to buy shares at an ipo price for a spac
would be somewhere between maybe a buck
80 and some larger number depending on
how valuable people think this ipo is
actually going to be
well that's where
sparks come in
special purpose acquisition
rights
and then a company
because remember a spac is a special
purpose acquisition company but a spark
is a special purpose purpose acquisition
rights company and bill ackman is going
to be one of the first to actually do
that through his pershing square capital
management company he has filed for the
first spark
now
if
instead of buying a spec where you get
shares you're interested in a spark
you're going to get the right to buy
shares of a company at ipo for zero
dollars and you're going to be able to
sh to trade that right on the public
market so that means on the public
market we're going to start seeing
sparks floating around at maybe five
dollars and that would mean you're
paying five dollars for the right to pay
ten dollars for that company
when it ipos now what's interesting is
the way this works is when the spark
finds a target company
it asks the investors for money to merge
however before it finds a company these
rights are assigned and they're allowed
to be trading on stock exchanges and
since sparks don't raise money in
advance there's really no fixed amount
of the sparks that could exist or these
rights to buy something at ipo price
basically it's a blank
blank check company
it's like literally like a blank check
company used to be hey here's
500 million dollars go find a company we
know we all paid in 10 per share
whatever go find a company and and bring
it public
now it's kind of like hey here are all
bill ackman's friends who are like sure
yeah we'll take your sparks
who can then if they want
sell these rights on the stock market
and then they'll have trading value
remember how much they're worth really
depends on how much the company is
expected to be ipoint for because all it
is is the right to buy the company at
the ipo price
so the way sparks are going to work
compared to specs specs you raise money
you find a company to merge with usually
within two years you pay the promoters a
big fee you get massive commissions like
this is how people like chamath get rich
off doing these spacks and boom the
company goes public like open door sofi
for example goes public people who got
in at ten dollars are doing great uh and
the people who who bought later or well
they're buying later they're investing
in an earlier stage company
now remember specs can also go below ten
dollars look at shift technologies look
at hippo uh look at uh you know any any
number of specs like a beachbody right
not a surprise these things can go under
ten dollars that's because oftentimes
they're overvalued at 10
now
investors
with a spark
have a cool opportunity where they're
not putting any money up
they have the right to buy shares thanks
to that spark unless they sell that
spark they have the right to buy shares
at ipo price and
they get a new spark for the next deal
that that manager puts together so it
kind of incentivizes you to actually buy
the shares at ipo because then you're
going to get another spark or the right
to buy the next deal
so
the cool thing here is
you'll at some point see these weird
instruments trading on the market that
are just basically rights to buy at ipo
price i expect them to be incredibly
speculative
but people are going to be likely very
excited about these because if they go
in on ipo price on on you know one time
they'll be able to do it again in the
future it's almost kind of like having
an nft right to buy these spacks or now
sparks at ipo which is kind of crazy
so now it comes down to really betting
on how good of a job you think the
promoter like somebody like bill ackman
will be able to do and how quickly do
you think he can pull it off and how
many times do you think he can pull it
off the cool thing is it's going to be
easy to market these acquisition rights
so for example if a potential
acquisition is announced and the spark
value starts trading at three or four
dollars then the understanding is that
hey investors must like this idea
because obviously it's worth uh whatever
we expect the ipo price to be plus three
or four dollars because maybe the
expectation is that it's gonna run even
beyond that so a potential acquisition
let's say it's announced with a spark
and then the value drops to like 25
cents or something really low this would
kind of be a sign that investors are
saying oh
that's probably not going to ipo well or
it'll fall after ipo like robinhood but
anyway the instant feedback could
actually end up being very valuable for
somebody like bill ackman the promoter
to see hey is it a good idea to be
bringing this company public or should
we potentially look for a different
company
you know if this one's not gonna work
out because maybe the market doesn't
like it so anyway of course all this
needs uh sec and regulatory approval and
right now
spax are not loved by the sec so we'll
see how sparks
the evolved form of spax end up working
out i mean i really feel like this is
like
uh a pokemon like a bulbasaur evolving
into blastoid like it's just continuing
to get more complicated and we continue
to get new
fangled ways of losing money and
becoming bag holders but
at the same time this could also improve
some of or at least improve on some of
the faults that the sec sees with spax
specifically with hey like what if the
company isn't worth
ten dollars at ipo what if it's worth
five dollars at ipo well whatever that
number is it could be a little bit more
of a floating valuation whoever has a
spark will have the right to be able to
buy it at ipo this is kind of cool we'll
see how the sec responds to this the
nyse so far seems interested in this but
pretty soon you could start seeing
sparks trading on the stock market and
now you kind of have a little bit of a
first look outline as to what the heck
these crazy things are and boy oh boy
this market is nuts thanks so much for
watching check out the programs linked
down below and building your wealth and
we'll see in the next one thanks bye
