0:00

hey everyone meet kevin here in this

0:01

video we're going to be talking about

0:03

sparks and what sparked sparks and

0:06

comparing sparks to specs

0:08

yeah now

0:09

there's a lot here to digest but we're

0:12

going to make it really really easy

0:13

because i have a feeling these are going

0:14

to become just as popular as spax were

0:17

in 2020 at the beginning of 2021 and now

0:20

you're gonna start seeing these things

0:22

trading on markets called

0:24

sparks

0:26

and you gotta know what they are so

0:28

first to understand sparks you have to

0:29

understand specs remember that a spec is

0:33

really consistent of a blank check

0:35

company

0:36

that leaders or promoters and their

0:38

attorneys put together then they get a

0:40

pool of investors the pipe and they

0:42

raise money together usually at a par

0:44

value of ten dollars though sometimes

0:46

twenty dollars and the individuals who

0:48

invest get a share of this back at a at

0:51

whatever the par value is so ten dollars

0:53

or twenty dollars and there are also

0:55

warrants that people could invest in

0:56

which are basically just options call

0:59

options to be able to purchase more

1:01

shares at some point in the future when

1:04

the company itself calls for redemptions

1:06

now don't worry if you lost any of that

1:08

not that big of a deal but the most

1:10

important part is that a spac is just a

1:13

bundle of money

1:14

that is public

1:16

and it's looking to take an existing

1:18

company that's private public and so

1:20

they merge together and now they're

1:22

public together and then they change the

1:24

name and perfect you're done now you've

1:25

taken a company that wasn't public

1:27

public through this streamlined sec

1:30

review process known as a spac

1:32

it's had one heck of a reputation though

1:35

because a lot of specs ipo with these

1:38

investor presentations that aren't

1:41

exactly this realistic presentation of

1:43

what the company is likely to do but

1:45

instead there are a lot of opium about

1:47

what the company might do and because

1:50

they're specs they go through less

1:51

regulation so a lot of these performance

1:53

statements are accepted now here's the

1:55

thing

1:56

nasdaq has reported that on average the

1:58

first day that spax end up ipoing they

2:01

tend to run up about 18

2:04

obviously there are a lot of variables

2:06

here but that would be about a dollar

2:08

and 80

2:09

profit on average per share on ipo day

2:12

but now this is where things get fun

2:16

wouldn't you like the opportunity

2:19

to buy a potential spec

2:22

at whatever the ipo price is

2:25

so let's say for example dwack the

2:28

donald trump's back goes from ten

2:31

dollars to

2:33

fifty dollars wouldn't it be nice to

2:35

have the right to buy

2:38

shares at ten dollars that'd be pretty

2:41

cool right and since the average

2:43

expected ipo profit is a buck 80 it

2:45

would seem that the value of being able

2:47

to buy shares at an ipo price for a spac

2:50

would be somewhere between maybe a buck

2:52

80 and some larger number depending on

2:54

how valuable people think this ipo is

2:56

actually going to be

2:58

well that's where

2:59

sparks come in

3:00

special purpose acquisition

3:04

rights

3:05

and then a company

3:07

because remember a spac is a special

3:09

purpose acquisition company but a spark

3:12

is a special purpose purpose acquisition

3:15

rights company and bill ackman is going

3:18

to be one of the first to actually do

3:20

that through his pershing square capital

3:22

management company he has filed for the

3:24

first spark

3:26

now

3:27

if

3:28

instead of buying a spec where you get

3:31

shares you're interested in a spark

3:33

you're going to get the right to buy

3:36

shares of a company at ipo for zero

3:40

dollars and you're going to be able to

3:42

sh to trade that right on the public

3:45

market so that means on the public

3:47

market we're going to start seeing

3:48

sparks floating around at maybe five

3:51

dollars and that would mean you're

3:53

paying five dollars for the right to pay

3:55

ten dollars for that company

3:58

when it ipos now what's interesting is

4:01

the way this works is when the spark

4:03

finds a target company

4:05

it asks the investors for money to merge

4:08

however before it finds a company these

4:11

rights are assigned and they're allowed

4:14

to be trading on stock exchanges and

4:17

since sparks don't raise money in

4:19

advance there's really no fixed amount

4:22

of the sparks that could exist or these

4:24

rights to buy something at ipo price

4:27

basically it's a blank

4:29

blank check company

4:31

it's like literally like a blank check

4:33

company used to be hey here's

4:35

500 million dollars go find a company we

4:38

know we all paid in 10 per share

4:39

whatever go find a company and and bring

4:41

it public

4:42

now it's kind of like hey here are all

4:44

bill ackman's friends who are like sure

4:47

yeah we'll take your sparks

4:49

who can then if they want

4:51

sell these rights on the stock market

4:53

and then they'll have trading value

4:55

remember how much they're worth really

4:57

depends on how much the company is

4:59

expected to be ipoint for because all it

5:02

is is the right to buy the company at

5:05

the ipo price

5:07

so the way sparks are going to work

5:09

compared to specs specs you raise money

5:12

you find a company to merge with usually

5:14

within two years you pay the promoters a

5:17

big fee you get massive commissions like

5:20

this is how people like chamath get rich

5:22

off doing these spacks and boom the

5:24

company goes public like open door sofi

5:27

for example goes public people who got

5:29

in at ten dollars are doing great uh and

5:31

the people who who bought later or well

5:33

they're buying later they're investing

5:35

in an earlier stage company

5:37

now remember specs can also go below ten

5:39

dollars look at shift technologies look

5:41

at hippo uh look at uh you know any any

5:44

number of specs like a beachbody right

5:46

not a surprise these things can go under

5:48

ten dollars that's because oftentimes

5:49

they're overvalued at 10

5:52

now

5:52

investors

5:54

with a spark

5:55

have a cool opportunity where they're

5:57

not putting any money up

5:58

they have the right to buy shares thanks

6:01

to that spark unless they sell that

6:02

spark they have the right to buy shares

6:05

at ipo price and

6:07

they get a new spark for the next deal

6:10

that that manager puts together so it

6:12

kind of incentivizes you to actually buy

6:15

the shares at ipo because then you're

6:16

going to get another spark or the right

6:19

to buy the next deal

6:21

so

6:21

the cool thing here is

6:24

you'll at some point see these weird

6:27

instruments trading on the market that

6:28

are just basically rights to buy at ipo

6:31

price i expect them to be incredibly

6:33

speculative

6:34

but people are going to be likely very

6:36

excited about these because if they go

6:38

in on ipo price on on you know one time

6:41

they'll be able to do it again in the

6:42

future it's almost kind of like having

6:43

an nft right to buy these spacks or now

6:46

sparks at ipo which is kind of crazy

6:49

so now it comes down to really betting

6:52

on how good of a job you think the

6:54

promoter like somebody like bill ackman

6:56

will be able to do and how quickly do

6:58

you think he can pull it off and how

7:00

many times do you think he can pull it

7:01

off the cool thing is it's going to be

7:03

easy to market these acquisition rights

7:07

so for example if a potential

7:08

acquisition is announced and the spark

7:10

value starts trading at three or four

7:13

dollars then the understanding is that

7:15

hey investors must like this idea

7:17

because obviously it's worth uh whatever

7:20

we expect the ipo price to be plus three

7:22

or four dollars because maybe the

7:24

expectation is that it's gonna run even

7:26

beyond that so a potential acquisition

7:29

let's say it's announced with a spark

7:31

and then the value drops to like 25

7:34

cents or something really low this would

7:35

kind of be a sign that investors are

7:37

saying oh

7:38

that's probably not going to ipo well or

7:41

it'll fall after ipo like robinhood but

7:43

anyway the instant feedback could

7:46

actually end up being very valuable for

7:48

somebody like bill ackman the promoter

7:50

to see hey is it a good idea to be

7:51

bringing this company public or should

7:53

we potentially look for a different

7:55

company

7:56

you know if this one's not gonna work

7:58

out because maybe the market doesn't

7:59

like it so anyway of course all this

8:01

needs uh sec and regulatory approval and

8:04

right now

8:05

spax are not loved by the sec so we'll

8:08

see how sparks

8:10

the evolved form of spax end up working

8:13

out i mean i really feel like this is

8:15

like

8:16

uh a pokemon like a bulbasaur evolving

8:19

into blastoid like it's just continuing

8:21

to get more complicated and we continue

8:23

to get new

8:24

fangled ways of losing money and

8:27

becoming bag holders but

8:28

at the same time this could also improve

8:30

some of or at least improve on some of

8:32

the faults that the sec sees with spax

8:36

specifically with hey like what if the

8:38

company isn't worth

8:40

ten dollars at ipo what if it's worth

8:42

five dollars at ipo well whatever that

8:44

number is it could be a little bit more

8:45

of a floating valuation whoever has a

8:48

spark will have the right to be able to

8:49

buy it at ipo this is kind of cool we'll

8:52

see how the sec responds to this the

8:54

nyse so far seems interested in this but

8:58

pretty soon you could start seeing

9:00

sparks trading on the stock market and

9:03

now you kind of have a little bit of a

9:05

first look outline as to what the heck

9:08

these crazy things are and boy oh boy

9:10

this market is nuts thanks so much for

9:13

watching check out the programs linked

9:14

down below and building your wealth and

9:15

we'll see in the next one thanks bye
