Timely links to external news and articles, usually valuation related, with occasional commentary.
We talked last month about Redbox Entertainment Inc., a company that (1) went public in October 2021 by merging with a special purpose acquisition company at $10 per share, (2) traded as high as $17.93, (3) then traded down to $5.60, (4) then agreed to be acquired by Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment Inc. for about $0.69 per share in stock, an 88% discount to its trading price, and (5) then traded down to $2.58 per share. That was weird!
Incredible stupidity that must be read to be believed. I just cannot stomach that this is the world we live in. This is a picture perfect arbitrage scenario, but it's actually too risky to arbo because retail meme traders are collectivly more stupid than the market has liquidity to bear.
