Homework 2
1.
From the perspective of the Entrepreneur and investors. Why would they choose SPACs route over ordinary method?
An entrepreneur and investor may choose SPACs because it will give them an option to invest in certain IPOs that they would not be able to invest in otherwise. Especially if they do not have a huge portfolio in the market. They will also have say in the SPAC and can exercise their right of purchasing more stock if the SPAC is successful.
2.
Does the agency problem exist in SPACS? If yes, why is not exploited all the time?
Yes the agency problem exist in SPACs. There are set of rules and regulation set up by the government that make sure that the interests of sponsors and investors are both aligned.
3.
If a company wishes to raise new capital for future investment. Would they choose direct listing for their IPO or other method? Explain.
If we have to choose between Direct listing, IPO, or SPAC. I would recommend going the SPAC because you will have more certainty as to
the capital raised.
4.
What is pairs trading?
Pair trading involve two similar stock that shares the same market. For example, Coke and Pepsi. This kind of trading involves selling the outperforming stock and buying the underperforming stock. Then you wait for them to revert back to their average state. For example, if Coke stock goes up and Pepsi stock is still the same, you will sell Coke and buy Pepsi’s stock and wait for the market to balance out again.
5.
High frequency trading is considered to be value trading. Do you agree
or not why?
I do not agree that High frequency trading and value trading are considered the same thing. HFT is where you are seeking profits from a
small movement in price while value trading is where you purchase a stock and that is undervalued and sell one that is over valued.
6.
What is a Dark Pool? Which traders? Use it. The most?
Dark pool is private trading system where traders can trade large blocks of securities anonymously. Institutional investors like hedge funds, mutual funds, and pension funds use dark pools.
7.
As an analyst/ banker write memo to your client explaining short squeeze
Subject: What is Short Squeeze? Understanding the dynamic.
I hope you are doing well; I would like to briefly explain you what short squeeze is. It is a scenario where a price of the stock would go up significantly and it would be overvalued. At that point a lot of short sellers would short the stock assuming that the market will correct itself and the stock price will go back to normal. As the stock prices keep going up, the short sellers would buy stocks to avoid any more loss, this will create a loop where thousand of short seller would drive the price up. The Game Stop surge is a great example of short squeeze. If you have any questions regarding anything, please feel free to reach out to me.
