Are IPOs and SPAC valuations becoming absurd?

TopGunTrading

I have been investing in stocks for 20 years and have traded the dot com as well as the financial crisis, never have I seen such high valuations at the initial public offering stage. Now with SPACs , it seems all surreal. Companies like airbnb, doordash, palantir getting valued at astronomical prices that normally would take years to achieve. SPACs which dont have any strategy getting money thrown at them blindly.

Is this the new normal? What are your thoughts?
 
Short answer : I don't know & i think it's not even worth to think about(predictions, yeah), rather, focus on my/your own success.

Expanded answer :

,,In the land of the blind the one eyed man is the King''

What's the point of worrying about the fools (?)

Even if you have the best intentions & sincerely want to help someone, - ,,The truth can't be told, it must be - understood'', and it's very hard to do so, when the mind of one is clouded by greed & fomo.

The best part - you get into the conflict for trying to do so, since their ego gets hurt & you become Mr.IKnowItAll.

Nahhh. Let them do it. Let it all go straight under the zero like that oil.


Better to focus on your own journey.
First you're nothing but - potential.
Then, through sacrifice - you become ,,something'' & and then, because you have that knowledge, those resources & contacts, you rediscover you inner child - the ,,calling'' ?

That, which you were born to be. Something, deeply routed in your DNA.

With all of that wealth at your disposal, you allow that gift to manifest to it's full potential, to bring out the good for this world.

And as a bonus, you meet some cool people along the way :rolleyes:



While the crypto/cfd's/etf's/leverage/wbets/rh legions march right into their doom -

WELL they sure priced one of those major IPO s in a different way. Opening day \they used a ton of glitter, \ i think they knew it was coming down with the glitter. LOL
 
This will continue until rates move meaningfully higher. Companies with high growth baked into their terminal values are very sensitive to changes in the discount rate. The current enrichment suites them because 1) rates are pinned down in the short term 2) other segments of the economy are under wraps via lockdowns 3) investor sentiment is very positive right now.

Once those factors start to break down, we’ll likely see a move down, but until that happens enjoy the ride.
 
A prime bubble example is Palantir , its market cap is over 50B. As a big data company, I'd rather hire a few engineers and let them go nuts using AWS services than pay millions for PLTR service. Current price is based on very little to non existent revenues.

It seems that as long as your company is associated with the latest buzzword it is bound to shoot up like a rocket.

Blame the fed for the SPAC bubble, and just wait till the
SPAC bubble bursts, it will be so fucking epic that more than 3/4 of these SPACs will fall into the abyss.

It's going to come. And the ipo market, well the fed is once again to blame for the absolute ludacris values we have seen these companies come public at. Again the fed is the reason why we have seen a surge in IPOs. Why not come to the market when there is a gigantic marker bubble in the making. Sell your shares to the public amd reap the billions. Best time to play is now before the next collapse comes.

Agreed, SEC needs to reign in on the SPACs. Alot of money being thrown into a black box. There was one with ticker LMAO, where is the SEC when something like this lists? If that is not blatantly suspicious I dont know what is.
