Or maybe not.Either way, whatever is happening hurts.\nInvestors in special-acquisition companies and firms recently merged with SPACs are watching their stocks sink—fast. And yet,the steep, swift selloffmight be a boon for bargain hunters.\nTheDefiance Next Gen SPAC Derived ETF(ticker: SPAK) is down about 32% from its 52-week high. On Tuesday, the drop was 2.6%.\nAnd the ETF’s more than 200 stocks, on average, are off even a bit more—roughly 33% from their 52-week highs and 11% in the past month alone.\nThere are probably good deals hiding in plain sight, but finding them is the trick.\nOne of the hardest-hit stocks in the ETF isHyliion Holdings(tHYLN). Shares of the electric vehicle maker are down about 85% from their 52-week high.\nA lot ofEV SPACshave been hammered. Shares ofQuantumScape(QS), Lordstown Motor (RIDE),XL Fleet(XL),Romeo Power(RMO),Canoo(GOEV), and Churchill Capital Acquisition (CCIV), the SPAC merging with Lucid Motors, are down about 80% from their highs on average.\nAll the pain isn’t reserved just for EV stocks, though.AppHarvest(APPH), Desktop Metal (DM) and AST Sciences (ASTS) are examples. Their shares are down about 65% on average.\nAbout 80% of all the stocks in the ETF are down year to date. The declines have wiped out roughly $400 billion in market value, which represents only about 1% of the total market capitalization of the S&P 500. SPACs are relatively small.\nSorting through what to snap up might take a while. Contrarian investors might want to start now.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":378070852,"gmtCreate":1618985181876,"gmtModify":1704717886789,"author":{"id":"3581734197173658","authorId":"3581734197173658","name":"sunnylimbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581734197173658","authorIdStr":"3581734197173658"},"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378070852","repostId":1144471828,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":378059812,"gmtCreate":1618983027936,"gmtModify":1704717860237,"author":{"id":"3570614147611531","authorId":"3570614147611531","name":"Jellywonka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b9774fac6cdbae1bac77d81d9922fb02","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3570614147611531","authorIdStr":"3570614147611531"},"htmlText":"Like
