The stock market sure has been a wild ride over the past week. On Monday I talked about how I have been using the recent weakness to buy shares of REITs and MLPs that sport sustainable double-digit yields. Today I am going to talk about the other thing that I have been buying, Special Purpose Acquisition Company aka SPAC warrants. Keep an eye on SPAC warrants during market selloffs. I own both AgroFresh $AGFSW and Lindblad Expeditions $LINDW warrants and they tend to fall off of a cliff during times of significant volatility. I have been able to scoop up both at absurdly cheap levels at points lately. Take a look at these charts. Not only have the prices of these warrants dropped tremendously over the past several months: but they also experience "Flash Crash"-like volatility that can enable observant investors to pick up shares even cheaper: While I own both, I personally like the AgroFresh warrants better than Lindblad for two reasons. One, I like AgroFresh's current business and potential to become a platform better. And Two its 2019 warrants are much longer dated than Lindblad's 2016 warrants, making them safer should we experience a prolonged period of market weakness. So if you like the home run potential that certain SPAC warrants provide, keep an eye on their price movement or set some cheap limit orders and you may be able to get some at amazing prices. And now for the rest of the Special Situation News: SPACs AgroFresh Solutions names Loebl as permanent CFO http://seekingalpha.com/news/2745426-agrofresh-sol... .
