Jim Cramer Host, Mad Money CNBC
Avoid any SPAC entirely.
SPACs used made-up forecasts, skirted regulatory scrutiny during the pandemic-era boom, and caused enormous losses. They remain terrible investments that investors should completely avoid.

Christine McNerney Portfolio Manager, Periscope Capital Bloomberg Markets
SPAC resurgence funded by AI capital needs.
SPACs are making a comeback as a disciplined capital-raising vehicle, particularly suited for deep-capital-need sectors like AI, data centers, and quantum computing. These sectors require large, quick capital infusions and benefit from SPACs' ability to provide forward projections. More experienced sponsors, regulatory certainty post-amendments, and growing deal flow in AI buildout are driving a healthier SPAC resurgence.

Kyle Grieve Host, The Investor's Podcast / Millennial Investing We Study Billionaires
"I personally have never invested more than a few minutes into SPACs... A SPAC really is pure speculation." SPACs have structural asymmetry where creators receive discounted shares (often 20% of the float) and are incentivized to close *any* deal to get paid, while retail investors bear the risk of the business failing. Avoid these speculative vehicles; wait for the merger to conclude and assess the operating business on its own merits. Missing out on a rare successful SPAC merger (considered a low probability by the speaker).

Jason Calacanis Angel Investor / Founder, LAUNCH All-In Podcast
Don't buy SPACs beyond 1% allocation
SPACs such as Desktop Metal, Opendoor, Virgin Galactic, Joby, SoFi and MP Materials are venture-stage investments: 80% of venture goes to zero and 20% pays for the rest, but retail investors treated them like Netflix or Nvidia without understanding the stage of the companies or the venture-style portfolio math. Don't buy SPACs unless they are less than 1% of your portfolio.

Retail should avoid SPACs, including his
Retail investors should avoid SPACs - 'maybe not all SPACs, but definitely my SPAC, just avoid it... do not invest in these things.' His SPAC 2.0 vehicle (American Exceptionalism, 'Raptor 2') was deliberately built for institutions: 98.7% of the capital came from blue-chip institutional investors, there are no founder warrants, and the sponsor earns nothing unless the stock is up 50% and then 75%. It fits an institutional portfolio construction with a very different risk model; retail should not be that far out on the risk curve because you cannot predict where these things go.
