PLUG over 70.00Beautiful wedge forming here, my guess is that it takes a day or two for price to close right around this level, and then a big break over. Of course this could bust through with conviction on high volume in one day, but more likely that it takes a day or two to set up. Can use the opportunity to position with long dated calls or shares, I think there’s a high likelihood this breaks to the upside. The wedge is a reliable pattern given then strong run up, and EVs are a hot sector likely to continue rapid growth.

AEye Said in Talks to Go Public Via Cantor Blank-Check FirmAEye Said in Talks to Go Public Via Cantor Blank-Check Firm CF Finance Acquisition Corp. III raised $230 million in IPO Artificial-perception startup AEye Inc. is in talks to go public through a merger with CF Finance Acquisition Corp. III, a Cantor Fitzgerald LP blank-check firm, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The valuation couldn’t immediately be learned. A deal hasn’t been finalized, and terms could change or talks could collapse. Shares of CF Finance Acquisition Corp. III jumped as much as 32% after Bloomberg reported the discussions. A Cantor Fitzgerald representative declined to comment. AEye didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. California-based AEye makes sensor technology, known as lidar, for use in autonomous vehicles. Continental AG, Europe’s second-largest car-parts supplier, acquired a minority stake in AEye in October. Other investors include Kleiner Perkins, LG Electronics, Intel Capital and Airbus Ventures, according to AEye’s website. CF Finance Acquisition Corp. III, led by CEO Howard Lutnick and President Anshu Jain, raised $230 million in a November initial public offering, with a goal of striking a deal in any industry or geography. “The company intends to focus on industries where its management team and founders have experience , including the financial services, health care, real estate services, technology and software industries,” it said at the time. An earlier Cantor blank-check firm last year agreed to merge with GCM Grosvenor Inc. in a deal that took the investment manager public. In November, CF Finance Acquisition Corp.

In December, Cantor raised $500 million for its fourth special purpose acquisition company, and this month filed for a fifth SPAC. www.bloomberg.com

EV Startup Faraday Said in SPAC Merger Talks to Go PublicEV Startup Faraday Said in SPAC Merger Talks to Go Public Faraday & Future Inc., an electric-vehicle startup, is in talks to go public through a merger with Property Solutions Acquisition Corp., a blank-check firm, according to people with knowledge with the matter. The special purpose acquisition company is seeking to raise more than $400 million in equity to support the transaction, which is slated to value the combined entity at around $3 billion, the people said. As with all deals that haven’t been finalized, it’s possible that terms change or talks fall apart. A Faraday spokesman didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment. A Property Solutions representative declined to comment. Los Angeles-based Faraday, led by Chief Executive Officer Carsten Breitfeld, was founded by Jia Yueting, an entrepreneur who in October 2019 filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. after running up billions of dollars in personal debt. His efforts to build a business empire in China spanning interests from streaming to TVs saw him borrowing against pledged shares, leaving him on the hook for $2.3 billion in claims, according to the filing. The ranks of automakers seeking to compete with Tesla Inc. in electric vehicles are heavily populated by Chinese startups. Investors were gripped by a mania for all things related to EVs in 2020, boosting Chinese car company Nio Inc.’s valuation. www.bloomberg.com

Former GM Executive to Start a Blank-Check Company QELLFormer GM Executive to Start a Blank-Check Company Qell Acqusition corp Engle has co-founded a SPAC called Qell Acquisition Corp., using his own cash and a healthy slug of money from PIMCO Investment Management, the giant investment firm with almost $2 trillion in assets. And why not? While GM has beaten market returns by a few points this year, most auto stocks have been flat or down in 2020. Meanwhile, Tesla Inc. has tripled in value this year and investors have poured cash into at least 15 EV-related startups like Nikola, Fisker Inc. and Lordstown Motors Corp. All in, blank-check firms have raised $70 billion this year. Engle is looking to acquire a company that will profit off the rapid changes happening in transportation no matter which company wins the EV or even self-driving game. He is looking at companies that can supply charging network hardware or services, or software and data collection for electric or self-driving vehicles. He sees opportunities in autonomous technology, telematics and infotainment. Power sports and motorcycles are just being electrified, which also present early opportunities. There is less competition, so plug-in bikes that serve Asia could be a strong play, he said. There are also emerging companies that will build small electric aircraft for short-haul flights or to ferry people in congested cities. Engle said Qell will consider companies with no revenue, but he prefers “real companies that have a product and revenue or are soon to be bringing in revenue.” “If the money that gets raised is applied to emerging growth companies that have a revenue stream and a line of sight toward significant growth, they have a better chance,” Spitzer said. “If SPACs have no track record of putting money into an early-stage company, I’m skeptical. Engle has been in that world and knows it.” www.bloomberg.com

Cramer Says Arrival Has The 'Best Claim To Be The Son Of TeslaCramer Says This EV Startup Has The 'Best Claim To Be The Son Of Tesla,' Gives Blessing To Buy SPAC Stock The “Mad Money” host said on his CNBC show that if the stock “comes down below $17.50, you can buy it hand over fist, because this one has the best claim to be the son of Tesla — or daughter, to break the tyranny of that awful cliche.” The automaker, backed by United Parcel Service, Inc (NYSE: UPS), Hyundai Motor Company (OTC: HYMTF), and BlackRock Inc (NYSE: BLK) is “revolutionizing the entire auto industry, and they own a ton of intellectual property,” according to Cramer. “They make all their own components, they’ll be cost competitive with gasoline and diesel, and that’s why Arrival got that $5 billion valuation from the get-go,” explained Cramer. Cramer said Arrival’s microfactory concept could have an impact beyond auto industry and it could “revolutionize manufacturing.” “If they can make an electric van or truck with a lower cost of ownership than the fossil fuel-powered alternatives, that’s a whole new ballgame,” the former hedge-fund manager theorized. Why It Matters: The merger between CIIG Merger and Arrival was reported last month. The former is backed by Peter Cuneo, the former CEO of Remington and Marvel. BlackRock has pumped in 8 million into Arrival, which would allow the London-based company to open a manufacturing facility in the United States. stock UPS has placed an order of 10,000 electric vans with Arrival, worth approximately $500 million.
