Yeah, it's all good. I've worked on both "old-fashioned" IPOs and SPACs, and I probably prefer the old-fashioned way. Yes, it's annoying AS FVCK when you're running around trying to make a $25K wire transfer to FINRA today, TODAY DAMMIT!!!, but I think it's still a process that raises more capital for the company at lesser cost (overall).
I can't prove it, but I feel like these SPAC costs the past couple of years have been...higher than they should have been...and it's not "inflation" that's to blame. I feel like a lot of people have been justifying the SPAC process "because of COVID" and work-from-home and whatnot. Just my 2 cents, I know there are other reasons as well. Anyhow, I'm sure you've figured out after 23,000 posts that I'm not afraid of rules, of a little extra compliance, of doing whatever it takes to get things done the right way, so I'm probably going to be biased to the "old-fashioned" ways over the SPAC wild wild west...
