Just found a super funny paper by Jay Ritter, tldr: - For some period small firms outperformed big firms in a few days in early January - Some finance profs tried to exploit this by taking a long-"value line" (heavy small stocks) index futures, short SP 500 index futures

Featuring #forthcoming #RFS paper "SPACs” by Minmo Gahng @mgahng, Jay Ritter, and Donghang Zhang @dh_zhang

Heard on the Street: Buying stock in a firm going public through a SPAC is usually a terrible idea. But, in a damning development, SPACs may not be great for those launching them either, says @jonsindreu on.wsj.com/3XNMstt

Looks like someone has turned these unicorns into zero-beta zero-volatility assets in recent months. Remarkable. Stablecorns? 🤣

Private market vs. public market valuations?

Ironic that one of the tenants in crypto is you don’t need to trust anyone because it’s all “on chain.” Yet everyone that lost money in FTX (both customers and investors) deviated from that construct. Neither FTX investments or customer assets were “on chain.” (More).

Startup valuations are more of an art than a science. What a powerful empirical illustration 👇

My JMP shows that venture capital-backed companies strategically bunch at a $1B valuation to impress employees who interpret unicorn status (private companies with a valuation of $1 billion or higher) as a signal of higher compensation.
