agmon to invest he has raised single stock funds on occasion in which individuals give him money to invest in a single company's shares rather than investing directly in that stock however ackman did something else last year it was a banner year for special purpose acquisition companies also known as spax a structure in which a financial superstar seeks funds from public investors in a blind pool in order to merge with and take public a private firm that would be named later as a well-known financial figure who excels at raising funds ackman chose to launch the world's largest spec pershing squared tontine holdings his spack raised 4 billion dollars bill ackman recently stated that the delta variant of coven 19 spread does not constitute a substantial threat to the economic revival and

substantially higher in the second half of 2021 as the economy recovers from the pandemic induced recession he also claimed that he believes increased pricing across the market will not be as short-lived as politicians have promised referring to it as the new normal and implying that inflation is understated you're seeing housing prices go way up i think the way the data is collected uh for you know the uh the kind of cpi or other inflation numbers really understate what's going on uh in housing and that's you know approaching a third of inflation there's housing inflation there's real wage inflation you know one of the big issues and i think this is not a transitory thing at all i think you're going to have to pay people to come to work and i think that's a that's actually a big positive it's probably a long-term positive for the economy as we approach the new year ackman believes that yields will rise significantly as people recognize the economy will make a significant rebound the drop in treasury yields according to akman provided investors with a purchasing opportunity the 10-year benchmark rate dropped seven basis points to 1.22 percent its lowest level in five months according to him this move gives him the opportunity to borrow as much as he can at a long-term fix rate based on these rates the hedge fund manager has placed a large bet on the restaurant

buy 10 percent of universal music group when speculators objected to the deal structure instead of the spec his pershing square holdings hedge fund will now assume the stake mr ackman's special purpose acquisition company would have bought a 10 interest in universal music the label behind taylor swift lil wayne and lady gaga for more than 40 billion dollars under the planned deal however the transaction would have been difficult and the sec was unsure if it qualified as a spec at all easy money made by things like spax and total return derivatives and so on and so on you push that to excess it causes horrible problems with the civil civilization these blank check firms which employ public market cash to invest in a private company and then take it public have attracted a lot of interest from investors and increased regulatory scrutiny in the last year mr ackman claimed in a letter to investors that his investment firm pershing capital had failed to persuade the agency to change its mind on the complex deal persian capital taunton holdings the spak had lost about a fifth of its value since the purchase was disclosed so investors were cautious as well thank you guys for
