how'd you arrive at that? the current market cap of CCIV is $13b according to TOS, but, we don't know what % of Lucid that CCIV is getting, do we?

They just pay the cash per share to buy a portion of Lucid. Says the deal values Lucid at $12 billion, CCIV has about 200 million shares with $10 cash a share, so CCIV owners are getting about 1/6. So I guess the market cap of CCIV says that management cut a deal where they’re getting an 80% discount on Lucid? So once Lucid’s public, market cap should trade up to $60 billion.

given that example, if Lucid is truly valued at $12b, why do I want to buy CCIV at this price? Post-merger the Lucid market cap would be $60b, suggesting that the company is wildly overvalued and its post-merger stock should fall in price.

edit: also, your example makes it so that the value of lucid either pre- or post- merger is completely divorced from the price of CCIV. CCIV $1000000!!!

What I didn’t realize is that the deal is conditional on a $1 billion to 1.5 billion PIPE offering so current holders are getting less than 1/6 though you can’t really know how much without knowing what the PIPE is offered at.

The deal values Lucid at $12 billion per the Reuters article. You buy now because you think CCIV is robbing Lucid blind and post merger when it trades publicly it’ll go up past $60 billion market cap.

e: also my point is that CCIV trading at $55/share is ridiculous

which, I'm pointing out, is the problem with CCIV.

Let's say Lucid's fair market cap if it was a public company is $13b. Let's say CCIV holders are only getting 50% of the equity in Lucid. Given CCIV's current price (which places its own market cap at near $13b), the market cap of Lucid would need to be $26b in order for justify CCIV's price for a 50% equity deal. In other words, CCIV would be double its fair price right now!

The fair price for CCIV entirely depends on value of the target, and what % of the target CCIV shareholders are getting. NOBODY here seems to know what % of Lucid that CCIV shareholders would get. Correct? Or am I missing something about SPACs here?

It just seems, as others have posted, entirely FOMO driven

edit: just saw TSW's post above, looks like he and I generally agree CCIV's price is dumb if you think Lucid is worth under $20b

Well you might also buy because the commonly accepted wisdom is that SPACs pop when DA happens, no matter how telegraphed and "priced in" the target is. I'm not saying it makes sense when the pre-DA price is loving $50 but it is what it is.

Made about :20bux:x2 selling half of my NDRA at the peak today, and buying back in when it dropped. :thumbsup:

This got me wondering: If I had 100 shares, sold 50, then bought another 50, would I be at risk of a Good Faith Violation if I sold another 50? Are the brokerages smart enough to know that the shares I'm selling were the old ones which are settled?

I have made a lot of money in this stupid CCIV week. A lot.

:same:

I finally sold off my entire CCIV position because it was too much profit to gamble with. I bought a few 3/19 55C in case they officially release the DA tonight or tomorrow. I figure a couple days of waiting will cool it off back to the mid/low 40s, and I'll grab some 3/19 45C if it plays out like that.

The most likely DA release is premarket next Monday.

I think the chance of CCIV dropping (considerably) as soon as the details of the deal are revealed are much higher than it skyrocketing any more.

In any case, their target hasn't even produced a car yet. And even with the model S engineer making what looks to be something realllly similar to the model S, and the company in general aping the poo poo out of tesla, they are a long ways from proving they can follow in tesla's footsteps. Talk of 80BB valuations seems wild.

Lot of irrational exuberance around here!

:hmmyes:

I definitely wouldn't buy in at this point. The news is definitely mostly built into the price at $50. There will probably be a good short-term pop if they land the DA but at that point you'll be fighting the crowd to take profits.

What's more likely, a $50 SPAC going to $100? Or an $11 SPAC going to $22 (with $10 NAV protection)?

Generally brokers use a first in first out policy unless you mess with it. This should be something you can check if you look at your buy/sells and lot information.

Just started 2 weeks ago with a 1k deposit. I just watching people on youtube and see what they recommend. I understand that it's gambling, but I think if you do your research, you can swing the odds in your favor. It also has me a lot more optimistic about the future. I never understood how people got rich enough to retire just by putting away part of their paycheck. Investing your savings makes a lot more sense to me now.

Yes I know my returns aren't sustainable.
