Questions: In Defense of SPACs
1) Do you think, some SPACs will end in blood baths and that many investors will lose billions of dollars ? How did we imagine, we would get rich with such little real work? Would you invest in SPACs? If yes. Why? If not. Why ?
2) Overtime, like credit cards, mutual funds and junk bonds (considered highly risky investments and instruments decades ago), SPACs will have become commonplace and unexceptional, their sharp edges sanded by regulators and sober bankers. What is your view of the SPAC’s future prospects going forward?
Questions: A Pact to Tax the World
1) National Governments would have to pass legislation to enact any changes to their tax laws which means, it could take years before the agreement has a “real world impact”. If that be the case, do you think, this move is of any consequence? Explain.
2) Do you think, US and global multinationals will be dissuaded from seeking “tax havens” in future? Explain.
