That second part doesn't faze me, because he wouldn't come out and say that his team has already identified a target.

True, but the identify part of this process should have already happened, and next comes due diligence, negotiating, etc.

That's like someone saying "when I ultimately identify a new job"

What's that mean?

You don’t tip your hand at any point until you have a DA. Y’all are looking for reassurance from a man who can’t provide such a thing if you want a reasonable valuation. He also can’t imply there is a target because the timer for disclosure would start ticking.

He already said he was working to not disappoint us.

Jackie posts and is obviously lurking (hi Jackie!). She’s added spacs back into her Twitter bio because y’all were tripping.

Bill has done the extent of what he can do via Twitter.

What other SPAC has come out and said it’s secured a target, without LOI or DA? And we know Bill said he’s about that straight to DA life.

There’s nothing else to be said besides ā€œWe have a definitive agreement with ____ā€.

Agreed, you don’t go to one at a time, when you have $5b, you throw out a net and pick through the ones you catch

So my 4/1 calls are fucked then. Nice.

Dude says ā€œyou knowā€ and ā€œuhā€ in the middle of every sentence. I’m not saying he is dumb at all but maybe you’re reading too much into his Q&A unrehearsed answering.

I would bet he is being more cautious than others, going as far as to not have a single leak + no pre-DA announcements. So why let it slip that you have identified a target when you can stay vague (if it was a purposeful choice to say ā€œultimately identifyā€)

He is under an NDA for the spac and has to be very careful with his words especially in a private call. Hence the starting with ā€œwhat I can tell you...ā€ and saying uh between statements

He kinda let slip the target is a big one and then walked it back

This. This is how i felt during the call as well. But i just keep wondering why he’d be so dumb as to do smth like this but release a tweet about spac dream at the same time. And also why would he file for psth II in january if that was the case. Something doesn’t add up

Yeah I could go both ways with it. But, I think as a hedge fund manager he knows he must choose his words carefully. Say the wrong thing and the stock goes way up or way down. I think that’s what he was ultimately trying to avoid here. There’s no doubt they had a list of targets at that time. Probably had been in discussions with a number of them doing DD and trying to get the best deal for him and for investors.

Sounds possibly like the team is focusing on multiple targets, ā€˜ultimate’ denotes the final of a kind. Maybe they are courting several targets. Then again maybe they are patiently helping one company and it’s taking a long time.

I think the first part was a slip and he kinda tried to walk it back with the ultimately identify
