    • Hi Bryan,

      I think I may go for it but only for a small quantity. Plan to collect when listed if it drops below IPO price. This is based upon my observation on Hibiscus Petroleum. Hope it will perform the same.

      How about you?

  • Hi, based the experience in the first SPAC, do you think this IPO has the potential to grow?

  • this counter definitely is for long term..if based on hibiscus petroleum past trend, it will take sometime for it to reach our IPO price as in the first day, the price will drop below 0.75. since 2013 is O&G year, so i think it is a good bet.

    • Yes, I agree. The most important thing about SPAC is they manage to acquire good assets, then it will fly.

  • This Cliq spac is worth buying ! Simply is that your risk is limited to 1. abt 5percent of the share price….2. Only 1.5 percent of the shares allocated for retail thus most are via private placement who buys it in large quantity and hold it long term..any retailers sell, these private placement investors will definitely buy it so price mother share and warrant combined will be around 75 sen…3. Good for medium to longterm players, short term players may not be suitable for this….4. If dont get on public balloting, can still buy open market when listing where mothershare shld be around 63 sens or so and warrang around 13 sen or so (my prediction based on no ongoing business)….so lets start buying this gem…
