💸 Billionaire Blunder Will Keep This Asset Class Down for Months...

Good morning. The past few years has seen the rise of SPACs, or special purpose acquisition..
It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. The past few years has seen the rise of SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies. These firms simply offer a way for companies to go public by merging with the SPAC shell corporation. It's a more efficient way of going public, and has been good for companies such as Virgin Galactic (SPCE) and DraftKings (DKNG).

Investors got overly enthusiastic about the space, however, driving the price of a shell company worth $10 to as high as $15 or $20 in some cases before prices started cratering in February. Now, billionaire Bill Ackman, who launched a SPAC late last year, has announced a potential $40 billion deal to take Universal Music public.

Now here's the rest of the news:

One of the world's great stock pickers just did something crazy. He went onstage and outed a secret stock that trades under a hidden name. See the "leaked" footage here.

Jobs Data Comes in Mixed

Hiring numbers improved in May, with a total of 559,000 jobs added. That reduced the unemployment rate from 6.1 percent in April to 5.8 percent. However, the data also suggests that employers are struggling to fill openings, as the numbers lagged the 785,000 jobs added in March. All in all, this points to a slow recovery, which will also likely mean central banks will continue to support the economy.

Quote of the Day
Between those two transactions we raised over $800 million of cash, not to line my pocket or anybody who works at AMC, but to put that money in the treasury of AMC to strengthen AMC and let AMC do more good things, to grow the company. That single act of diluting shares saved the company and made the company a stronger company.
- Adam Aron, CEO of AMC Entertainment, on why the company's repeated capital raises have saved the company by providing over $1.6 billion in cash on hand while also allowing the firm to pay down debt, and why the company is looking to potentially issue another 25 million shares.
