I read the OP

What's the difference between SRNG on Robinhood and SRNGU? Did SRNGU "split" and the resulting units became shares of SRNG

If SRNG is $9.95 and units return $10 to the holder if/when the merger fails, why is it trading below $10.00? Just people want to get out of it on favor of a > 0.5% gain elsewhere?

SRNG is going to take at least 8 months to get the merger completed, probably, right

SRNG is the common share with a $10 NAV. SRNGU is the unit, which is a common plus a 1/5 warrant. So every 5 units will get you one free warrant if you call your broker and split the lot. There may be a few depending on your broker, your portfolio size, or your ability to sweettalk.

SRNG has a signed DA with Ginkgo Bioworks so the deal will probably get done in the next 3-6 months.

So Robinhood is just selling the common, and hanging on to the warrants for funsies?

the cheaper brokers (webull is the same) don't hold on to anything, they just forbid the trading of Units and Warrants entirely, to avoid the complications around splitting/redeeming I assume

quote:

Robotic-surgery firm Memic Innovative Surgery is said in talks to go public through a deal with SPAC Med Tech Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:MTAC)
Terms of the deal couldn't immediately be learned, according to a Bloomberg report.
Memic closed a $96M Series D financing round in April, which was led by Peregrine Ventures and Ceros with participation from OurCrowd and Accelmed.
Memic has headquarters in Tel Aviv, Israel as well as a wholly owned subsidiary in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Memic appears to compete with publicly traded Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG).
Med Tech Acquisition gained 1.9%.
Last month, Bill Gates-backed Vicarious Surgical agreed to a deal to go public via $1.1B SPAC deal with D8 Holdings (NYSE:DEH).

I missed this news 5 days ago apparently, or rather this seemingly unsubstantiated rumor? Figuring I'll keep sitting and waiting over here, but if ya'll have any thoughts on the deal I'm all ears.

Quietly liquidating my warrants on green days now. Stilling mulling what to do with all these sub-$10 commons though.

Don't want to take the L when waiting theoretically at least gets you to the $10 floor, but simple index funds are up like 10+% since the SPAC crash and not rotating out is starting to seem dumb. (Plus I just don't want to have to pay attention anymore if there are no returns to be had here.)

Yeah, NAV + interest limits the risk of investing in SPAC commons, but it is still not zero risk as there's always the opportunity cost of staying flat for months or a year+ when that money could be invested elsewhere. If you're no longer interested in holding a given SPAC for the potential lottery-pop, in my mind it would have to be significantly below $10 or very close to redemption time for me to consider holding for redemption rather than selling and investing in something else (though I suppose the size of the position would influence this decision a bit as well).

I have been keeping my free cash in under NAV SPACs, I can sell when I need but also have to potential for something to pop.

I managed to sell my remainder at 9.96 today. The main pop on the news/rumor went vriefly over 10 but it looked like it lasted maybe 10 minutes after opening, and I was asleep for it.
A friend works at a different robotic surgery company that's been in the business for a long time. When I looked them up it seemed like there was a lot of controversy around it because their systems were extremely expensive and hyped but actual outcomes didn't seem to be any better. That may be outdated now though.

I'm holding ASZ AVAN CPUH CRHC GSAH HERA PRPB as those are the big-trust SPACs with experienced sponsors that I believe can land a good target at a good valuation in this market. And they can bring along a PIPE if necessary.

The only post-DA I'm still holding is SEAH because their revenue and comps are crazy good and they're still priced at NAV.

It's very quiet and boring right now if you're not willing to chase or gamble.

Am I seeing right that the $7.5 and $10 have a slightly neg IV? Couldn't I just buy and redeem 1 for a quick $10?

Relax.
I'm in KVSC, HAAC, CBAH, and REVH as long-term holds for my gambling account. These are SPACs that are supposedly "investor friendly." Their promote structures are tied to the long-term performance of the stock post merger. So the management team will have to "earn" their promote by supporting the success of the target company. They also have great management teams. But who knows. I'm sure I'm gonna end up holding some bags on at least one (or all) of these.

It should make the switch automatically; there's nothing you need to do to initiate a switch. Some brokers just take longer than others

ExxonMobil is profitable, but at what cost to humanity? I'll see you in hell, mf

Music industry is at best a value stock, certainly not a growth stock, at least not long term. If you're buying it for the short term SPAC pop, maybe. It's interesting to see the entire music industry valued at $40 billion, whereas Teledoc, a single healthcare company, or really, a fragment of one, waiting to be aquired, is worth $30 billion. I can't imagine investing in a fraction of the music industry in TYOOL 2021. The only people profiting off this deal is the board of UMG

I guess that's the case, sort of...



This is such a weird deal. Almost like Ackman realized that PSTH was too large and couldn't close on anything that actually needed the money here in 2021.

So now if you hold through the merger you'll own some UMG, stub shares of PSTH, adjusted PSTH warrants (or not), and this SPARC stuff.

It's going to be fun trying to figure out what all that is worth. I can definitely see the temptation to just take the $22.60 and run.

The SPAC game isn't about long-term value investing though. Might as well just buy index funds. In the abstract I think all the measures Ackman is employing to prevent people from just dumping stocks are interesting, but this deal is stupidly complicated and who the gently caress knows how to value all the pieces. It's not bullish I know that much!

Also lol at the idea of someone holding PSTH in a poo poo brokerage like Robinhood. No way they're able to handle pre-IPO shares on a European exchange, warrants (which can't be exchanged?), SPARC offerings...
