Here are my thoughts about stock market right now. Feel free to share your opinions. Shiller P/E ratio is at historical highs, too many dollars were printed, there are many heavily shorted stocks & their FTDs are due to close during January/Febr. & I expect their wild spike, but also collapse of SPY
Please help me! Should I continue buying VLTA stocK? EV charging companies are all around $10-40 this one today hit $6.8. I’m just wondering how many of you out there are buying/selling this stock?

[Volta Inc. Stockholders Approve Transaction with Shell USA, Inc.](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230329005986/en/Volta-Inc.-Stockholders-Approve-Transaction-with-Shell-USA-Inc) \- VLTA VLTA.WS Starting next week, Volta will be a subsidiary of Shell. VLTA shareholders get 86 cents per share, VLTA.WS holders about 22 cents ( Black-Scholes value ).
I calculate 36c warrants based on a 90 day HV of 130% and 1100 days to expiry (assumes 3 - 4 months for deal to close). I picked up some after hours at an average of 28c. I couldn't get filled enough to make it a really significant amount of money though. I might also be wrong on the calculation although the calculator I use has been bang on for the TLMD and VLTA warrants.
Probably put money into VLTA, WHKS, NKLA, PSNY and all that other SPAC trash out there.

>There is no doubt that Big Oil sees the writing on the wall and they are scrambling to get a piece of the EV pie before it's too late. I think it would be wise for investors to keep an eye on these developments and consider investing in companies like VLTA that have potential partnerships with Big Oil. While it may seem counterintuitive, I believe this could be a lucrative investment opportunity.
interested in $VLTA but not sure yet
Oh yeah I don't think it's a viable strategy. You'd have to identify buyout targets, do a ton of legal & financial homework, then get lucky. Doing it after announcement would be pretty impossible. VLTA adjusted overnight, there was no chance to buy in. Originally I was purely curious why VLTA warrants were worth anything after the buyout was announced, that's all. Turns out it's because it's a cash offer and this seems to be a relatively standard warrants clause (I checked a few).
There is language though. For VLTA at least: "In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such Class A ordinary shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the Class A ordinary shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A ordinary shares in such a transaction is payable in the form of ordinary shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants. The warrant exercise price will not be adjusted for other events." That's from their S-1, if you actually look in the Warrant Agreement I'm sure there's a lot of detail. Key is that it was a cash buyout given that 70% clause.
But once VLTA is wholly acquired by SHEL & VLTA ceases to exist, aren't the warrants cancelled (i.e. there is no 2-4 year optionality)?
Yeah, from these levels limited upside in case of buyout imo. Something similar to VLTA maybe.
They got up to an additional $20M in financing with $10M of it conditional on certain milestones for the sale of the business. It sounds like some of the unsecured convertible note holders are pushing for a sale since the additional funding comes from current note holders. As part of the agreement a portion of the convertible notes (which are unsecured) convert to a second-lien security interest in the assets of BOXD (in the event of liquidation or default they will be second in line after the senior term loan). Given these developments it looks like a sale is highly likely at some point although I'm much less bullish than others on what a buyout number might be. They are a financially distressed company quickly running out of cash so I don't think they will get close to Kroger's buyout offer of 400M from back in 2018 (they had big growth prospects back then but revenue has basically flatlined for the last 2 years and they are still losing money). Keep in mind a buyout will involve the assumption of BOXD's 140M of debt. A $1 buyout would be $70M + the assumption of the debt for an implied enterprise value of $210M. I can't see them getting more than that but that's just my thoughts. Warrants could be worth a look if it's a cash buyout since they have the same warrant buyout terms as VLTA. VLTA warrant holders are going to get about 21c on a 86c buyout. BOXD has slightly higher 90 day historical volatility than VLTA with similar time to expiry so at a $1 cash buyout you could be looking at 25-30c for warrants.
How does an acquisition affect stock price? I hold shares in Volta (VLTA), which was just acquired by Shell. The price jumped a bit on the news, but what happens next?
>You realize every retail investor has the right to say "no, I don't want to hold through merger" and can get their money back often with interest, right? That is the whole appeal of SPACs: possible no-risk upside, arb returns at minimum, loss floor in case you are already buying above NAV. Then why the SEC does even exist? Retail investor can always say no according to you. The problem with SPACs are they outright lie on their "Investor presentation dossiers" Look at this (VLTA), uploaded on February of 2021 (2 years ago) [https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1819584/000121390021007256/ea134805ex99-3\_tortoiseacq2.htm](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1819584/000121390021007256/ea134805ex99-3_tortoiseacq2.htm) Claims: * Page 9: **"Electric cars will be cheaper than gas cars beginning in 36 months"** * So in februrary of 2024 (1 year from now) electric cars will be cheaper than gas cars? really? Can I sue them if that is not true? * Page 21: "**Cummulative cash flow per station**": Less than 2 years for each station to pay itself. 16X ROI and 128% return rate (IRR). * WOW! Who wouldn't want to invest on something like this? I still don't understand how they crashed from $10 to $0.5.. where they lying maybe? * Page 49: YoY growth revenue of 100% and achieving profitability on 2023 with margins of 50% * \-WOW again! Who wouldn't want to invest on something like this? why they crashed from $10 to $0.5.. where they lying maybe? ​ I don't think this companies should be allowed to publish this stuff like if it was an add. The SEC should enforce a minimum of accountability here. This 'investor presentations' should meet a series of guidelines like being reviewed by some accounting firm and the future projections being generated according to a standard and common parameters, so comparing data between different companies becomes possible. Right now this stuff is just a whitepaper that feels like an ad
VLTA for some low hanging fruit
Dodged the bullet with this one too. I made a little bit money on VLTA, but overall it's a loss for me because of SNPR. Could have been much worse. Glad I sold all (de)SPACs in 2021 even at loss.
It's a cash buyout so warrant holders will get the Black-Scholes value of a capped American call option as calculated by Bloomberg per the [warrant agreement](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1819584/000121390021046178/ea146705ex4-3_voltainc.htm) using a share price of 86c, an exercise price of $11.50, volatility of 140% (the 90 day Historical Volatility for VLTA ending the day prior to the merger announcement), and approximately three and a half years to expiration. The relevant info is in Section 4.4 "Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization". This works out to be around 21c per warrant and will be paid at the time the merger is consummated. I posted a link to a calculator on the daily thread that you can use to verify the 21c number.
Damn, my VLTA shares got nipped by Shell…. Wtf. I was so sure of that one. Apparently, so was shell.
It's a cash buyout so the warrants get paid out at the black scholes value for a Capped American Call option as stated in the warrant agreement. The volatility parameter is the 90-day Historical Volatility which can be quite high for penny stocks like VLTA (in VLTA's case it's 140%). The warrants still have more than three and a half years to expiry so this, combined with the high volatility, still gives the warrants quite a bit of value. I can't find a Capped American Call calculator online but [this one](https://www.hoadley.net/options/trinomialbarrier.aspx) gives a pretty good approximation where the option price is calculated using an up & out barrier option with an $18 barrier and a $6.50 knock out rebate to simulate a $6.50 cap on the value of the warrant (forced redemption feature). Try for yourself using an interest rate of 4%, 1200 days to expiry, an underlying price of $0.86 and an exercise price of $11.50 and you should get 21c which is exactly what the warrants are trading for.
It's a great move on shells part. VLTA business model is the future, long term. Shell just hedged their bet by getting a bunch of new locations
There are dozens of VLTA stations near me. They aren't a dead business.
Big difference between VLTA and SLDP since SLDP is flush with cash. They have at least a 2-3 year runway. That said I do think there could be a catalyst with deals, A-sample news, or an incoming CEO.
Yo yo mate, come on... VLTA deal sucks donkey bags. Don't be cruel to us bag holders please.
Ok since I summoned one yesterday! (VLTA) Who is taking SLDP???? 🤫
Nahhh suck it to Shell. VLTA is a dead business. I could make it right now if I wanted to and had cash. It’s worthless. Just paperwork in my eyes.
I sold VLTA for 15.10. Suck it Shell. Look at me. I’m the big daddy now.
Curious as to why VLTA warrants are up? Shouldn't they be worthless now that Shell is acquiring them (obviously for way under any possible strike price)?
Correct me please but aren't warrants worthless in case of buyout ? VLTA.WT went 145% up on 22k buy in PM.
VLTA is a Top-10 contender for King of SPAC grift. Absolutely no moat or technology that isn't easily copyable. Went off at an> $2B valuation!
$VLTA: Volta Inc. to be Acquired by Shell USA, Inc. to Accelerate Decarbonization of the Transportation Sector
Btw - isn't VLTA being short squeezed right now ? Reported SI was around 20%, so that's quite a lot of shares to cover, no ?
>$VLTA: Volta Inc. to be Acquired by Shell USA, Inc. to Accelerate Decarbonization of the Transportation Sector for $0.86 per share Interesting as I had a debate with one poster about two years ago that the Oil / Gas companies would start buying the EV charging plays. This segment is ripe for consolidation as there are just too many with limited growth potential. The estimates to me have been way over blown.
> VLTA getting bought out for 86C a share 😂😂😂 x100 Fixed.

One thing that makes me feel warm and cozy, even after a day of losses, is that J Powell is amongst us on a regular basis. And he's gone from "what in the holy hell is this redarded isht?" To "lol funni Jpow meem on wsb hurr durr" Anyway... VLTA TO $5 EOW 
Dcfc is not a bad bet on the future of EV infrastructure rollout, at its current market cap. It's been decimated and probably manipulated...who knows it could go to less than a dollar due to possible further dilution. However, that does not mean the company isn't executing at a reasonable degree given how insane the TAM is for dc fast charging. I just see too much potential and unlike VLTA, which had leadership problems, Tritium is relatively smooth and unchaotic.

VLTA beat earnings… up 2% My one earning play! 🥳
$VLTA is now sub $1. Earnings on the 14th should be very interesting.
EV charging companies. EVGO, CHPT, BLNK, VLTA are the next Chevron, Exxon, Shell
I never liked VLTA because I didn't see any moat there. Seems like anyone could do it if the idea took off.
I don't know. But in my major us city, VLTA stations are popping up everywhere.
VLTA. Haven't exited yet, they are all just worthless at the moment. I have a couple thousand options with a $1.08 strike and a couple thousand with $2.53 strike
Volta, Inc. operates a network of smart media-enabled charging stations for electric vehicles. The company was founded by Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel in 2010 and is headquartered in San Francisco, CA. The listed name for VLTA is Volta Inc.
VLTA dropped like a rock. Down over 20% in 2 days
I did the same thing as you and am suffering for it. DKNG, AMRS, VLTA, oh man… Look into some of the Canadian big 5 banks. BNS pays a 5% dividend right now. BMO is about 4%. There’s also TD, RY and CM.
Am I right to assume you went all-in on VLTA?
Waiting to find out who benefits from $900 million funding for EV chargers. I've held some VLTA shares at a 70% loss for over a year.
APRN 🚀🚀 then move profits to WEBR or PRTY or VLTA
I got that one and VLTA, and EVGO, and GOEV. I'm just loading up on everything EV. Even NKLA and NIO. I'm on it.
I like EV stocks right now. Filling up on SOLO, WKHS, GOEV, EVGO, NKLA, ARVL, VLTA, etc. Dirt cheap with huge upsides when the world changes to electric vehicles over the next decade. Got my moon boots from Kanye. I'm ready.
Buy some EV stocks. SOLO, RIDE, WKHS, EVGO, GOEV, VLTA, ARVL even NKLA. They're all super cheap and at least one of them will take off over 1000% guaranteed because the whole.world.is switching to electric vehicles. When it does I got my astronaut helmet made out of a garage sale fish bowl ready. Just my opinion though. I'm loading up.
Damn just spent my extra on EV stocks like EVGO VLTA and GOEV. Wish I had seen this sooner.
Any opinions on VLTA from the people?
I grabbed these on Friday in AH. BBBY, CCL, FUBO, BYND, RIOT, SE, VRM, VLTA I was all cash since last Tuesday. With the 3 days of technical selling/BBBY margin calls over, and crypto stabilizing, I expect some bullish action Monday 8/22/22. All growth and travel have lost 50% from the month-long rally.....good time to buy.
VLTA Volta going to the moon! (At least the chart, not a ev rocket) ​ Down 45%, but thinking of doubling or tripling down. It can have the ability of at least 75% growth!
VLTA is my play currently as the west coast gets more public chargers paid for by advertising on the chargers in Krogers I expect this to go up, order books have been heavy on the buy side for weeks it looks to me
VLTA. I bought this as a speculator play, handcuffed to CHPT, who I think is the 900lb gorilla. Thought it was worth a shot at $1.50ish a few weeks back. It's around $3 now (a few weeks after I bought) and still had legs.
VLTA is bleeding and management is a revolving door, why would someone load up calls?
VLTA earnings tomorrow after market - might do some DD later on it
I'm pretty close. CHPT, SOFI and QS, with an "also receiving votes" from VLTA and SLDP.
I'm kinda new to this, but I found three stocks that look fairly promising. Any opinions would be welcomed. Check $TBIX, $XL, and $VLTA. Also would appreciate some upvotes so I can join more threads😁
SPAC deals always heavily dilute shareholders but it's shareholder from before it was public. In regards to dilution for SPAC deals and IPOs, start tracking share dilution with their first public filing. For VLTA, that's Q3 2021.
Or for example, on VLTA's 10k, page 129 ([link](https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001819584/e5c969a5-3d6b-4b8d-b61a-8095002b2cc6.pdf)). It lists those stats as: 2020 Class A Diluted at 1.6M 2021 Class A Diluted at 59M Did they really dilute their shareholders at 36X?
Do you have a strong conviction on VLTA? Why now? Full disclosure: I have 1k VLTA shares but I don't have any hope of it going up.
Been watching VLTA for awhile, anyone know much about it? Been getting pummeled, trading at like $1.5.
VLTA, GPRO top 2 for sure
VLTA (pre SPAC was SNPR) at 18, down to 1.65 now
I like the cut of your jib. I'm pessimistic enough to think it is going below $8 <glares at VLTA>
Now I know who bought those $10 VLTA calls I sold awhile back...they can kiss that money goodbye
I swear a good week in EV charging would save my portfolio. EVGO to $12, CHPT to $15, VLTA to $5-6 and I'll be happy as fuck. Any time before EOY would be great
Fuck it, I'll say a quick prayer too. Dear Lord, please just send VLTA on a random moon mission in these coming weeks. I don't care if the $10 calls I sold get assigned or not, while that would be amazing I just want to be able to exit green and do something besides averaging down for awhile
I still have hope dammit. I think VLTA can hit $8 by EOY and if it does my $3 calls are gonna print hard
VLTA and EVGO have been beaten down recently, lots of upside potential there as VLTA was around $5 not long ago and EVGO was around $15. VLTA has the highest profit margins in the sector, EVGO has the long term advantage of skipping level 2 charging entirely in favor of level 3 fast charging like Tesla
Still waiting for a big VLTA pump to save my portfolio. I'll reinvest it all into dividend stocks this time I promise
>$VLTA penny stock, but even so, that's brave at the moment.
I just need VLTA back to $5. That's all I want anymore. If that happens I'll make bank
