So Cciv has just been a complete monster up over 35 percent at highs Today we were actually one of the first communities to talk about this bad bad boy back on January 12th. Back then, and in the proceeding weeks, we talked about why I felt that Cciv and Lucid were a good fit and since then it's up over 100, which is really just wild. But I have also stressed that while this is an obvious buy if Lucid and Cciv end up merging, it's also a gamble play because we don't know if they're actually going to end up merging. But nonetheless, it seems like the overall population just doesn't care and it keeps rallying it up, which is quite beautiful.

We will be talking about Cciv, what to do with it, and of course my thoughts on the overall situation. Then we will be talking about some of my Ad Money 2 plays. Then I want to talk about a new play, H-o-l H-o-l announced that they will be merging with Rocket Maker Astra, causing a 50 plus rally. I put this on the radar of Zip Trader You Members this morning, but of course I want to go ahead and talk about it on the broader channel.

This is incredibly relevant as more and more funds race into the commercial space sector and as big investors like Arc put together a space Etf. And of course we will be finishing this video off, talking violently about the stock that you guys said you wanted me to comment on and the only thing that I ask in return is that you hit that ravishing like button And also don't forget to subscribe either. I appreciate every single one of you except for the ones that don't push my buttons. Okay, so let's start with Cciv.

So as you know, I am a Huge Lucid Bull. Their team at Lucid is basically a team of Tesla dropouts that wanted to make their own company to compete with Tesla, and Lucid will already be starting to roll out its cars in the spring. The cars themselves are just completely gorgeous, the batteries are competitive, and they have years of high performance experience, and Cciv and Lucid are a good fit for each other. They share board members, they're both very interested in the Saudi Investment fund, and both complement each other nicely.

But as of right now, there's still no news for Cciv and Lucid. Literally nothing. So why then is this rallying? Well, you have a lot of folks spreading fake rumors on major social media outlets including Reddit and Twitter, and there's a lot of false rumors that are saying that the merger has been confirmed when that is just not the case. As of this point, when you get these huge runs, you tend to get a lot of short-term traders, especially people that follow us going in and buying up these rallies which then goes and makes it even more likely to rally and adds fuel to the fire.

But again, I want to ask you guys not to focus on the noise. Focus on the bigger picture here. If Lucid and Cciv end up merging, this is going to be like unleashing a Kraken. I mean, Eevee companies and especially Us Ev companies already trade at many, many, many multiples of their sales, revenue, deliveries, and so forth.

And with Lucid starting to deliver and scale up production at the same time that it's coming to the public market, it's easy to make the case that Cciv, even in the 30s and 40s would be extremely cheap for a price of such a great company. Unlike other companies that have rolled out onto the public market years before, they even introduce a single car, Well, Lucid will have a huge advantage and that they can go ahead and show investors their cars all over the roads, show Pr press releases of cars rolling off the factories and going into drivers' hands instead of other companies that are promising things that honestly they're not going to be able to deliver on for perhaps years. This year 2021, Lucid's Air will be rolling off their factories and into consumers hands. Then the company's manufacturing and strategic plan is to have Lucid's Air becoming a mainstream player in the United States and abroad within the next couple years.

I think that the limitation of a lot of people is that they'll go and look at a company and their only focus is oh my God. What are the limitations? What are the limitations And nobody thinks about the story that this company can sell to investors. Because as traders, guess what? I care about the story. If something goes up 300 percent, we can take a profit.

Do you think I care if it's a good company? I think Lucid is a good company, but at the end of the day, it's all about the story. People are drastically overestimating the bar that Lucid needs to fit in order for this to be dramatically undervalued. But they do not need to be the next Tesla. They just need to be an okay company for this to go to the moon.

There is not that many opportunities out there to buy small American Ev companies that actually have proof of concept and are actually about to be on the road. Sure, you can invest in already established legacy companies, but in terms of finding the next Tesla, I promise you the next Tesla won't be Gm or Ford. If Lucid can just manage to do okay, make decent cars, have decent demand, this is going to be an easy story for them to sell to investors as the next big Ev. Think about it folks.

How many completely trash Ev companies that never produced a single car or useful technology have been able to get their share prices up billions in valuation? Imagine a company actually locked and loaded and producing vehicles like Lucid right now, especially in the United States. In Europe, people are dying. Investors are dying to get another Ev company with tons of potential that actually does okay, instead of just making these wild, outlandish promises that they're probably not going to deliver in like 20 30 years. And Lucid is really the best opportunity we've had in a while.

And that's why you've seen so much money going into Cciv even though there's a risk of Cciv not getting it and this completely blowing up. So my take is that based on the inherent value and the readiness for investors to bid this up all the way to this price, I think this could go to 60 to 70 bucks if it gets confirmed. But on the flip side, if it doesn't get confirmed, guess what? So as I've been saying all along, Cciv has insane potential, but it's still a gamble play. This isn't a play that you bet the house on.

Once Lucid actually becomes a publicly traded company, then I'd say okay, you know, at least bet half the house on it. That was a joke, but but still, you get my point. Right now, all we have are rumors and speculation. I think they're more likely than not to get the deal, but if they don't, we're gonna have to follow wherever loose it ends up going.

okay. Next, so many of you have noticed an increasing flow of money and attention into space and space exploration companies. One of the things that are very unfortunate. everybody is talking about the next stock that's going to go to the moon.

What about the next stock that is going to go to Mars or Venus or Pluto? I guess that's not a planet anymore. I feel like my jokes get cornier and less cool as I get older. This is the number one channel for dad jokes, by the way. So just so you know, we dominate when it comes to dad jokes here.

Anyways, Arc is making a space fun. Spc E is going up massively. Spacex is constantly in the news. Jeff Bezos resigned today and will be focusing on his other companies, including most notably Blue Origin, which is committing to violently taking humans throughout the solar system.

And today Hol announced that they will be taking Astra public and this is a new one that we just added today to our Zip trader you Price Target. And let me explain my reasoning for this one. So right now there is an undeniable commercial race into space, and there's some real world, present and practical demand for it. And with Astra's merger with Hol, Hol will be the first publicly traded company that's dedicated to small orbital rocket launches.

What the hell is that? Basically, there's a huge demand for companies to put small rockets into orbit right now because companies want satellites, and the demand for that is projected to go up 14x. but right now it's too expensive, It's too slow, and there's not nearly enough frequency of launches to fulfill even today's demand. Astra is an opportunity for the public market investors to buy into this industry with a company that is offering relatively cheap rockets to fit this demand with members from Spacex, Boeing, Nasa, Neo, Blackrock, and so forth and they are projecting that they can do way more launches and at cheaper prices than their competitors. And most importantly, they are based in my home state of California, a state where everything rockets, the taxes, the poverty rate, the pollution, the traffic one can only expect, and one can only hope that some of California rubs off on this company.

I have to use joking as a coping mechanism to deal with my high taxes here, but nonetheless, keep this guy on your radar folks. Okay, quick update on our add money to plays. Number One Workhorse Very cheap Today I said buy the Dip Dip Came today. Buy the Dip Mara recover nicely today.

Still great Dip Buy Still looking very cheap Number Three Pltr Very impressed. It's looking very very cheap. I love this. If you can get this under 30, it seems like an obvious buy to me.

Okay folks, so as you know, I'm doing this new thing where if you comment below some tickers that you want me to talk about in the next video, I'll go ahead and review them in the next video and the common ones that you guys have requested I discuss are Neo Xpev and Lee Eo did great on their deliveries. Xpev did great on its deliveries and uh, Lee, it dropped the ball a little bit. I'm gonna go ahead and talk about them all in context of the overall China Ev market. and regardless of what their stock chart is saying, Well, they're all very, very strong and booming companies.

How do we explain the lack of chart hype? Well, my take is that I think that this has a lot to do with the fact that these plays have evolved from extremely speculative status to mainstream stock status. Even as recently as a year ago, you had serious concerns from mainstream investors on if there was actually any real value in these companies or if they were just smoke screens and talking pieces of the Chinese Communists. But what we saw last year was some relative strength in terms of proof of concept that caused huge jumps because it's a huge jump from being a speculative, high-risk underdog to being a mainstream player. So Neo and some of these others went from being ridiculously undervalued, to then revealing a lot of that value and then growing on top of that value.

But now they've all become mainstream players and that market inefficiency has passed. They are essentially part of the establishment with evaluation to prove it. On one hand, that's great because now Neo Xpev and Lee are a lot more stable than they were before, But on the other hand, they have a lot higher expectations baked into their prices, and that's the trade-off of going from being an underdog to being an establishment player. But the thing is that while they are establishment players in the Ev sector, while the Eevee sector itself is still an underdog, and all three of these plays, especially Neo and Xpev, will offer huge potential in the future.

I am the most bullish on Neo. I am also very, very bullish on Xpev Lee, I'm bullish on, but it's a little bit of an Ugly duckling right now. but there's a tsunami of demand coming and all of these are going to be lifted up by that demand. It's just a matter of time.
