  • 11 Electric Vehicle Stocks to Buy for 2021
    INVESTOR PLACE 11 ELECTRIC VEHICLE STOCKS TO BUY FOR 2021 LUKE LANGO How to turn the electric disruption of transportation into your million-dollar opportunity When it comes to identifying next-generation breakthrough investments that could rise 100%, 200%, 500%, or more, I always come back to one saying. Where there’s disruption, there’s opportunity. Case-in-point: The internet. Throughout the 1990s, the emergence of the internet rapidly disrupted how people across the globe worked, communicated, and played. For many, it was a scary time. Change is never easy. For many more, it was an exciting time, as the internet was unlocking a new world of possibilities. But… for investors… it was an opportunity. Specifically, it was a once-in-a-decade opportunity to invest early in emerging titans of the internet industry. Like Amazon (AMZN)… when it was a $438 million company in 1997… It’s a $1.6 TRILLION company today – representing a whopping 365,000% return. That means a mere $1,000 investment in Amazon in 1997 would be worth more than $3.6 million today. 2 Luke Lango’s Hypergrowth Investing Need I say more? Where there’s disruption, there’s opportunity – and the bigger the disruption, the bigger the opportunity. Right now, we are on the cusp of an enormous disruption. This disruption will fundamentally and entirely change the world’s multi-trillion-dollar transportation work. In its wake, it will create new hundred-billion-dollar titans of the auto industry – most of whom are just tiny companies today. What disruption am I talking about specifically? The shift toward electric vehicles.

  • Special Purpose Acquisition Company – an Alternative to Traditional Ipos
    Chapter 4 Special Purpose Acquisition Company – An Alternative to Traditional IPOs 1. An Introduction The special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) also known as “blank check companies” have been emerging as a viable alternative to traditional initial public offerings (“IPO”) to take companies public. The SPAC is a company with no commercial operations, that is formed strictly to raise capital through an initial public offering for the purpose of acquiring an existing company. Once the SPAC acquires a target company, the target company merges with SPAC and become a publicly-traded company on the stock exchange. SPACs help companies go public a lot quicker (a few weeks to months) in less time with fewer fees compared to traditional IPO route. A SPAC usually has a time period of approximately two years to acquire a target company. If the SPAC fails to achieve the business combination within the specified time period, the SPAC will dissolve and return the funds to the investors. Though SPACs have been around for decades but have become more common in the recent years specially in the United States (“US”). The number of SPAC IPOs and the funds raised through SPAC IPOs in the US have increased significantly in 2019 and 2020. There were 248 SPAC IPOs and ~$83.0 billion1 were raised in 2020 as compared to $13.6 billion raised in 2019 which was more than four times the $3.2 billion raised in 2016 2. In the US, SPAC IPOs have outpaced traditional IPOs during the first three months in 2021 as the preferred method for public fundraising as presented in the chart below.
