    $Grab Holdings(GRAB.US)$ very very weak premarket for an IPO. Definitely going below 10 today
    5
    According to theSEC filing, Singapore-based tech giant Grab will list on the NASDAQ on this Thursday (December 2nd)through SPAC.Investors voted to approve the merger of Grab Holdings Inc. and Altimeter Growth Corp. on November 30.Its $40-billion listing will mark the world’s largest SPAC deal.
    What is SPAC?
    A special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) , also known as "blank check company", is a company with
    No commercial operations
    Raising capital through an initial public offering(IPO)
    Purpose of acquiring an existing company
    A special purpose acquisitions company is essentially a shell company set up by investors with the sole purpose of raising money through an IPO to eventually acquire another company.
    SPACs have been around for decades, but their popularity has soared in recent years. In 2020, 247 SPACs were created with $80 billion invested, and in just the first quarter of 2021, a record $96 billion1 was raised from 295 newly formed SPACs. By comparison, only two SPACs came to market in 2010.In 2020, SPACs accounted for over 50% of new publicly listed companies in the U.S.
    How does SPAC work?
    There are three distinct phases in the lifecycle of a SPAC:
    Firstly, creating a SPAC and searching for a target:
    A SPAC’s IPO is typically based on an investment thesis focused on a sector and geography, such as the intent to acquire a technology company in North America, or a sponsor’sexperience and background.
    Usually a SPAC is created, or sponsored, by a team of institutional investors, Wall Street professionals from the world of private equity or hedge funds, while even high-profile CEOs have jumped on the trend and formed their own SPACs.
    SPAC IPOs are usually priced at $10 a share. Following the IPO, proceeds are placed into a trust account. In some cases, some of the interest earned from the trust can serve as the SPAC's working capital.
    When a SPAC raises money, the people buying into the IPO do not know what the eventual acquisition target company will be. In creating a SPAC, the founders sometimes have at least one acquisition target in mind, but they don't identify that target to avoid extensive disclosures during the IPO process (This is why a SPAC is also often called "blank check company"). Institutional investors with track records of success can more easily convince people to invest in the unknown.
    When the target is announced:
    Once a target company is identified and a merger is announced, the SPAC’s public shareholders may alternatively vote against the transaction and elect to redeem their shares.
    If the SPAC requires additional funds to complete a merger, the SPAC may issue debt or issue additional shares, such as a private investment in public equity (PIPE) deal.
    De-SPACing: The SPAC typically has18-24 monthsto identify and complete a merger with a target company, sometimes referred to as de-SPACing.
    If the SPACdoes notcomplete a merger within that time frame, the SPAC liquidates and the IPO proceeds are returned to the public shareholders.
    Information Disclosure:"Once formed, the SPAC will typically need to solicit shareholder approval for a merger and will prepare and file a proxy statement (or a joint registration and proxy statement on Form S-4 if it intends to register new securities as part of the merger).
    This document will contain various matters seeking shareholder approval, including a description of the proposed merger and governance matters.
    It will also include a host of financial information of the target company, such as historical financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), and pro forma financial statements showing the effect of the merger."
    When the merger is closed:
    Recently, shareholders of a SPAC company Altimeter Growth Corp voted in favour of the merger between Grab, the ride-hailing and delivery giant, and the listed shell company, paving the way for Grab to list in the US on Thursday (Dec 2).
    In general cases, once shareholders approve the SPAC merger and all regulatory matters have been cleared, the merger will close and the target company becomes a public entity. After an acquisition, a SPAC is usually listed on one of the major stock exchanges.
    A target company in a SPAC merger will need to prepare itself for being a public company normally within a few months, which is a shorter timeline compared to a traditional IPO for substantially the same preparation.Lock-ups for SPAC IPOs typically last 180 days to one year.
    Information Disclosure:A Form 8-K, with information equivalent to what would be required in a Form 10 filing of the target company (commonly referred to as the Super 8-K), must be filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)within four business daysof closing.

    Part Ⅰ: High-Quality Post Collection
    Party@AxThePro  Balanced portfolio
    1 million is a huge sum to begin with, it is very important to have growth for this portfolio. At the same time, we also must make sure it is safe from significant losses. I’ll allocate my portfolio with 4-3-2-1 strategy. I am an agreesive investors, I do not believe in bonds, so I will allocate 100% in equity portfolio.
    Party@Dadacai  My Portfolio If I Had A S$1 Million Windfall
    If I had a $1 million windfall, I would put 90% of it in an S&P ETF like $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO.US)$ , $SPDR S&P 500 ETF(SPY.US)$ and $iShares Core S&P 500 ETF(IVV.US)$ , and 5% in Treasury bills. The remaining 5% will be reserved for stocks that I think have the potential to become the next $Amazon(AMZN.US)$ , $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ , $Sea(SE.US)$ , $Apple(AAPL.US)$ and $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$ .
    Party@David W Clark  How would I invest $1,000,000
    I'd put it in an account that at least pays as much interest as possible while researching for stocks, bonds, ETFs and other such ways to invest and grow. I may do this with a 45/45/10 split, Dividend Stocks/ Value Stocks / Cash.
    Party@Mars Mooo  The Squid Game Multi-Portfolios Portfolio
    The Squid Game Multi-Portfolios portfolio is made up of 4 main portfolios, as follows:
    40% weightage: Player 456 (Seong Gi-hun) Portfolio.
    30% weightage: Player 218 (Cho Sang-woo) Portfolio.
    20% weightage: Player 067 (Kang Sae-byeok) Portfolio.
    10%: weightage: Liquid Portfolio.
    Party@Panda2102  Barbell strategy to build a portfolio with a $1m windfall
    One portfolio (85-90%) holds extremely safe investments, while the other aggressive portfolio (10-15%) holds highly speculative or leveraged investments. Depending if you are in the Wealth Accumulation stage or Wealth Preservation stage of your life, you can tweak the two portfolio accordingly.
    Party@atelophobia  Portfolio building
    Building a portfolio is aka finding the best equilibrium and striking a balance of allocation across the different classes. There is no right or wrong answer to how should one build a portfolio for the fact that Trading/Investment is an Art not a Sciene as such there is no scientific way to judge an artpiece as beauty lies in the eyes of beholder!
    Party@Mama Cass  $1M Playmoney!
    If lucky enough to find or be given $1M to invest I'm afraid that at my age (55) I wouldn't go crazy with aggressive return seeking investments. Different age groups have different portfolio allocations. I'm a caviar kind of gal so I'm going to get a pro to take my million and make it pay off without loss.
    Party@nickelrust  Buy. Hold. Sell. Repeat.
    Me as a lower risk taker would opt for a safer option, to put the money into a basket of bluechip stocks and let it grow over a period of 3 to 5 years. With the current market still at its low, and globally economies are opening up and striving to stabilise and enter the real new normal.
    Party@Sufy87  It comes down to portfolio allocation and what you know best.
    Personally, I would allocate 60% stocks, 20% into ETFs, 15% options, 5% cash. Stocks are basically what builds wealth. ETFs are basically to get exposure to segments of the economy. Options are just to hedge against some of my positions. Cash is always as "bullets" when opportunity arise.
    Party@102252718  What is your purpose to invest?
    Everyone invest for a different reason. For me, I invest to grow my wealth pot for retirement and my child's education.
    70-80% GROWTH STOCKS $TSLA $PLTR.
    10% ETF $ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK.US)$ $ARKF.
    10% Crypto $ETH. $BTC.

    $Bitcoin(BTC.CC)$ Yea, we all have been in BTC for Years!!
    Most of us have BTC in many different Pools, Farms, etc earning Nice Interest!
    But just as important …. you ALWAYS have to have a Small amount set aside to trade Derivatives (using Leverage)!
    Profit no matter which direction BTC is going!
    ALWAYS trade the Momentum!
    “Short” it when it drops suddenly and go “Long” when it rises quickly!
    Use that Volitility to your advantage!
    While most people just sit there staring at the Price Drop, the smart ones quickly get in and “Short” it (No, that does NOT make you a Bear)!
    Using $500 yesterday and “Shorting” BTC (with High leverage into today made $4,500
    Profit when BTC goes Up or Down!
