They said it was impossible. After decades of #antitrust cases over #PredatoryPricing - selling below cost to kill or prevent competitors - the #ChicagoSchool of neoliberal #economists "proved" predatory pricing didn't exist, so courts could stop busting companies for it.

Predatory pricing - the economists explained - was illegal, but it was also imaginary. A mirage. No one would predatory price, because it was "irrational." Even if someone irrational enough to try it, they would fail. Stand down, American judges - predatory pricing is solved.

@VirginOrbit #SPAC filings reveal the most insane market assessment ever. IDK who these 'Prophesy' guys are, but in 2019 the total launch market was 8B$ in value. The launch market for satellites <500kg (up to 'Mini') was <1B$/year in the past 5 years. 1/

I don't know if anybody will be held accountable for such a blatant overestimate of the small satellite launch market value, but luring investors in believing this business is 8B$/year is incredibly dishonest IMHO, particularly in light of the usual mantra of 'reduced costs'. 2/
If that market value was correct, the average price of launching 42t of mini satellites (<500kg) in 2019 would have been close to 200k$/kg. A preposterous value: we know that small launch is expensive, but not THAT expensive! 3/

Seems like an inauspicious start to Trump's Truth Social media site. Hours after the press release it is defaced by Anonymous. And he is also apparently going to take this "idea" to be publicly traded in the US stock market via an #SPAC mechanism. #socialmedia
Whats an SPAC you ask? I hadn't heard of it either. Apparently its a new means 2 take an entity that has no real business to the public markets instead of the traditional means of an IPO. Given Trump's biz record of multiple bankruptcies, it seems little like a ponzi scheme 2 me
Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: DWAC) a publicly traded company now with Trump Media & Technology Group via an SPAC at an EV of $875 million with a potential additional earnout of $825 million. Subject to regulatory and stockholder approval.

Space infrastructure conglomerate @RedwireSpace debuted on the NYSE this morning, the 6th space #SPAC to close this year.

"We are a revenue positive, cash flow positive, very financially conservative and rapidly growing company" - $RDW CEO Peter Cannito cnbc.com/2021/09/03/spa…
@RedwireSpace Cannito emphasized that $RDW is a "uniquely positioned" option for investors like @CathieDWood's $ARKX, since it’s a pure-play space stock that's generating over $100 million in revenue a year and cash flow positive already.

I cannot find a single Cloud stock trading cheaper than $AVPT based on 22E sales. I gave up after 1.5 hours trying & using 15 attempted Cloud comps, all trading more expensively than @AvePoint. 1/5

Eventually institutional investors are going to "find" $AVPT & it will trade higher. @AvePoint's growing at 30% YoY and > 75% of its revenues are from recurring sales = great for margins. Cowen's Buy recommendation this week called AVPT "undiscovered", and Cowen is correct. 2/5
$AVPT's using significant #SPAC money to build-out a salesforce to attack SMD (small & mid-size companies) which it previously couldn't afford to target. This is a huge TAM opportunity for AVPT, which is $MSFT's #1 ranked Cloud partner. 3/5
$ORGN I am seeing misinformation on cash needs following elevated redemptions. A thread to hopefully clarify. Some of this is my opinion post calls with the company and comparing to $PCT. As always, open to pushback.
TLDR: I don't think they will need to raise equity

The #SPAC was too large for this deal (my opinion). As a result they did one of the smaller PIPEs, despite announcing the transaction during the hottest point in the PIPE cycle. Many large institutional funds were scaled back significantly

Planning for no redemptions, this forced $ORGN to show very conservative plant financing - otherwise there would be too much cash and the deal wouldn't make sense. Let's compare the plant financing assumptions to $PCT, the debt % is still lower in the revised case!

SPAC me the money!
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies, or SPACs are all the rage in Wall Street of late. They are an alternative to traditional IPOs if the intent is to take the company public.

The process is quite reverse, actually. In an IPO, a company with a defined prospectus is looking to raise funds from the market. A SPAC, on the other hand, is a company with money on its hands, looking for new business collaborations (mergers/acquisitions) to focus on.

Recently, India's Number #1 renewable energy company, ReNew Power, opted for a SPAC-IPO to go public on the NASDAQ Exchange. As more and more companies take the SPAC route, it becomes clear that investment is no longer a goal-oriented idea but a gain-oriented idea.

Something an old boss told me once when I first started public investing and lost a lot of money on a position: "If you're not losing money somewhere in the portfolio, you're not taking enough risk." #spacs #spacsquad
3/ SPAC asymmetry with $10 pre-merger floor is your best friend. A 30% move from $10 -> $13 is FAR superior than $45 -> $60. Risking $0 to make $3 way better than risking $35 to make $15. Always be cognizant of risk/reward. #spacs #spacsquad
