Special to Quantum Computing
It's often said the people who made money during the Gold Rush were pick makers and Lewis Jeans Co. In the digital world, leaders in computing power are at the forefront of the biotech, robotics and AI revolution that we have embarked on. Grab your seat... "mutability" is a powerful skill to have. Understanding the environment and adapting to the ever changing landscape has never been more important. Let's talk about those SPACs Never been a fan until just last week more as a co-research project I'm working on for security.
Let's focus on one that was announced last Feb 2022 and is heading to a Special Shareholder Vote tomorrow. "D-Wave Systems, a provider of quantum computing systems, software, and services, said Tuesday that it has agreed to merge with special purpose acquisition company DPCM Capital (XPOA) to become a publicly-traded entity."
There is a special shareholder meeting for holders of this SPAC to readjust to the changing times. That event will happen tomorrow August 2nd 2022. If you missed it, check with IR and SEC public filings at edgar.sec.gov As a US regulated company, it should all be there. D-Wave in Canada is currently private and apparently firing on all cylinders from informal observations.
Canada filings would be done within the appropriate Authority & Regulator for that Jurisdiction. Check with a financial advisor. I'm just an observer on a keyboard that likes to look at charts, keep my nose clean and study the markets to find possible gems in the muck of "stuff".
D-Wave Systems is a great candidate for a SPAC reverse-IPO thing. Let's hope the Regulators on both sides of the border work together to make sure all eyes are on this one.
Note: This was the last update with summary from Feb 2022:
Update: D-Wave to Go Public via Merger with SPAC DPCM Capital; DPCM Shares Rise
Feb 8, 202208:47
(Updates with stock move in the headline and last paragraph.)
D-Wave Systems, a provider of quantum computing systems, software, and services, said Tuesday that it has agreed to merge with special purpose acquisition company DPCM Capital (XPOA) to become a publicly-traded entity.
Upon closing of the deal, shares of D-Wave Quantum Inc., a newly formed parent company of D-Wave and DPCM Capital, will start trading on the NYSE under the symbol QBTS.
The transaction values D-Wave at an equity value of roughly $1.2 billion. D-Wave plans to use proceeds of $340 million to further accelerate its delivery of in-production quantum applications for blue-chip customers and to build on over 200 US patents that it has been granted.
After the closing of the deal, the combined entity will continue to operate from D-Wave's R&D and head office location in British Columbia, Canada.
The Analysis:
TA As of August 1st 2022. Tradingview TA tradingview.com/symbols/NYSE-XPOA/technicals/ (note: XPOA symbol to change to QBTS apparently?)
Summary: SELL 14,7,5 (watch last number increase as Yes vote gets confirmed, the current hypothesis)
Oscillators BUY 1,6,4 (mostly neutral at 6 but 4 should be increasing)
Moving Averages STRONG SELL 13,1,1 (MA-only based short sellers/algos/traders want to sell. This could be a formidable short squeeze potential in vote is large, or shorts could be predicting this is garbage).
Fundamentals
Everything depends on the vote tomorrow. Based on all information findable in Public (via SEC Edgars and other official sources). This is a Watch or Casino Bet pending vote. Tomorrow will confirm a Bullish Run or an abysmal US SPAC failure. Dog Food Fund Candidate "pre-IPO" "smelly SPAC" XPOA -> NYSE QBTS Quantum Computing "junior" that is a leader in its North American space. Place your bet, trade or investment [depending on your own style].
