Thanks for another great read and a great refresher on understanding IPO's and SPAC IPO's. SPAC's have always reminded me of the Search Fund model from Stanford. This sentence popped out at me, which I enjoyed:

"probably characterize the 40-year period from 1982-2021 as largely one giant bull market, driven by the massive secular decline in interest rates (from 20% in the early 1980s to 0% for much of the past decade plus)".

And this sentence on SPAC's caught me eye as well:

"or as a streamlined way for the target company to go public (bypassing certain SEC IPO regulations), or both. Clever, no?"

These seem like spot on interpretations. Job well done sir!
