Social Capital Hedosophia VI (NYSE:IPOF) stock is the latest SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) from investor Chamath Palihapitiya. Based on his strong track record, which includes past winners like Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE), IPOF stock has been bid up to around $15 per share, representing a 50% premium to its offering price. The SPAC is yet to announce a merger deal. Bill Ackman’s SPAC, Pershing Square Tontine (NYSE:PSTH), is in a similar situation. Just like Social Capital, PSTH trades at a rich premium to its offering price, mainly based on the reputation of its sponsor. I don’t understand why anyone would pay a 50% premium for what amounts to a pile of cash. I prefer “buy a dollar for 50 cents” kinds of situations. But, given Palihapitiya’s Silicon Valley ties and his clout among retail investors, paying a premium for this SPAC may make more sense than paying one for Ackman’s SPAC.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice
