On the newest episode of the Compound Show, join Downtown Josh Brown for a discussion about the bubble in belief. The rise of "Special Purpose Acquisition Corp 2.0" involves the backdoor IPOs of DraftKings, Nikola, Utz Potato Chips, the Golden Nugget Online, Virgin Galactic and many other well known companies. Pershing Square's Bill Ackman just launched the largest SPAC ever this week. What does it mean? What does it signify about the current market environment? Plus, a conversation with Larry McDonald (A Colossal Failure of Common Sense) about whether or not the S&P 500 index committee can keep ignoring Tesla, now that it's reported four straight quarters of GAAP profits and its market cap is larger than almost all the other holdings.
