    lolol. I heard about that while I was driving. They lost a potential USPS deal to Oshkosh. I know it was down something like 55% at least at one point, so somebody's making money off of it in the afterhours going long. lol.

    No such as trash stonks. If it's trash, then it's a stock.
    If it's stonks, it always goes up.

    Anyways, I am down 15% today. Sold some of my positive stuff and bought the dips on some more SPACS lol.

    SPAC holdings:
    CCIV (Lucid)
    IPOE (SoFi)
    NPA (AST Spacemobile)
    DMYD (Genius)
    BFT (Paysafe)
    PSTH ?
    IPOD ?
    IPOF ?
    QELL ?

    OTHER:
    WTRH
    PLTR

    MSFT and my index funds are over at vanguard. I punch myself if I try to login there. So I don't do anything stupid. The above are at TDA.

    Battle-fought my way to a not-total-disaster of a day. Here's to hoping things pick back up a little this week.

    I think Ford is in the deal too, I didn't see the particulars yet but bought some cheap calls at close. I'm sure I won't get much out of it since it was Osk getting all the attn, But didn't go crazy either. Was trying to leave more out over night.

    Oh don't worry I am still up on CCIV on my profit shares.
    And GME was trash play. Rode it from 40 to 60 and then 90 to 400+ lol and diamond handed it. ended up selling at various price points during the drops..
    Not bad but I was saying those drops are terrible. I lost a few years of my life when those halts happened.

    The one SPAC I passed on.....THCB is benefiting from it.
    But I don't like investing in Chinese companies. So I stay away from BABA, NIO, Microvast (THCB) etc.

    I don't like investing in them either, the few times I have they have been extremely short trades or not big positions. I'm just worried w/ tariffs and some of the political climate it could shift rapidly and quickly get you stuck, so I pretty much avoid them.

    Exactly, that was an absolute disaster when the news hit. I know it was discussed some on the thread but I don't recall if anyone owned any on here.

    I'm not sure what Ford does other than provide the Transits, but even at that, I think it's a 10-year contract for something like 50,000-150,000 vehicles. Plus Ford is something like 6 or 7 times the size of Oshkosh, so it may not be as much of a needle-mover for Ford -- just a guess.

    Yeah, I think you're right regarding it not doing much for ford, I was basically looking for cheap options to get a quick return. It was trending in the right direction in AH and then pretty much died. OSK was already way too priced in once WKHS basic jumped off a cliff.

    Anyone in GRSV? They announced they are targeting Ardagh Metal Packaging, at an $8.5B valuation and the shady thing to me is the target company is a spinoff of a public company (NYSE: ARD) that is only worth $5.7B market cap and the parent company is going to retain 80% ownership. How is this not an arbitrage or fraud situation?

    Ya I mentioned in this thread earlier that I didn't like how the GHIV to UWMC turned out.
    So I stayed away from GRSV.

    UWMC has been one of my biggest losers in the past 12 months but I doubled down on it recently because they are a legit company (they service my mortgage and my mortgage broker friend loves working with them) and I see them as value play because at the current market price, it's like a ~5.0% dividend yield. I also think the fears of the housing market slowing are overblown cuz here in California, the housing market is still on fire with no end in sight.
