There are way too many SPACs to keep up with, but the trend is also exciting to ignore. So I’ve created a simple SPAC watchlist with some of the most notable SPAC to watch in the market right now.
Did you know that SPACs raised $13 billion in 2019?
$83 billion in 2020.
And $40 billion already in 2021…

There are 409 active SPACs with $130 billion waiting to be invested.
That’s a lot to keep up with. So I’ve cultivated a list of some of my favorites. Full disclosure, I’m holding positions in several of the companies listed below. Other’s I traded and already sold.
But let’s start with the basics…
What is a SPAC?
SPAC stands for Special Purpose Acquisition Company, also known as a “blank check” company. It’s a different way to take a company public. The SPAC sells shares in a traditional IPO without any underlying business.
It then uses that money to merge with an existing business. Once the deal closes, the newly formed company gets a new ticker and trades like any other stock. SPCE, NKLA, & DKNG all used SPACs to go public in the past year or so.

Let’s get the SPAC watchlist:
