Times have changed since I wrote Bitcoin Rally is Just Beginning in November 2017, prior to my 2018 run for Rhode Island State Treasurer. I believe that Bitcoin has real potential to make many ordinary people wealthy beyond belief. I further believe, the trigger that will set off the next vault upward in price is arriving soon in the form of access and leverage, I wrote over three years ago. The ability to leverage your Bitcoin investments and its many related offspring is quickly becoming a reality. An instrument like Exchange Traded funds, Notes, Futures, Options on Futures and options on ETF’s are all coming soon. Both the CBOE and CME intend to trade Bitcoin futures and options.”

Handicapping the market s upside from here as stocks run up the score on bonds, stretch valuations CNBC 2/6/2021 Michael Santoli
A look a the bull market s implied point spread – how much upside remains by betting the prohibitive favorite given the current field position and valuation?
With Treasury yields rushing higher, equities are certainly running up the score against bonds in a way that makes a modest reversal seem more likely before long.
Yet sentiment measures are not quite at critical extremes and the popping of the GameStop bubble argues against the idea that such retail speculative aggression has overtaken the market.
What Dealmakers Need to Know Before Taking the SPAC Route to Going Public February 4, 2021
Scott Norris is a principal at UHY LLP.
While SPACs have their advantages and can be an attractive alternative to the traditional IPO process, there are certain key considerations to be aware of before jumping in.
Often called “blank check companies,” Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) are essentially shell corporations they don’t actually engage in any commercial operations, and usually exist as a means for raising money to acquire other, existing private operating companies.
In short, SPACs are used as an alternative to the traditional IPO process. The sponsors of a SPAC use the entity to raise capital from investors, and then target a specific company they want to acquire, thereby taking it public and bypassing the cumbersome IPO process.
