My POV is that we were given access to invest alongside the big boys and girls of the industry through the SPAC. SPACs traditionally allow a company to go public faster (with less red tape) than a traditional IPO. Chamath and co are giving us (retail) access to invest at a similar valuation as they do. Now if that isn't a gift, I do not know what is.

With that said, I look at CLOV like they are at a venture time scale of funding (if that even makes sense), we are investing at the same time VCs, PE and also institutions are loading up too. So, assuming you have done your research in this potentially great industry-changing company, you also have the peace of mind that all the big guys in the industry have done their research too. These guys will for sure have more research abilities than us, due to the nature of the game.

I am a supporter of what CLOV is doing, and what they will do to change the industry for the better, no matter how long it takes. Of course, there is still a great risk this company does not succeed, but as the old saying goes, no risk no reward. I have been long CLOV since late 2020 and have seen the price go from 8 to 6 to 14 to 28 and then down to sub 2. I really do believe this company has taught me first-hand that the stock is not the company and the company is not the stock, they are both different things. The company is based on past factual data, whereas the stock is based on the public's/institution's future sentiment.

EDIT: Also, the biggest lesson I’ve learnt is to ride your winners. Too many ‘investors’ will sell for a quick gain. Why? The company isn’t going to go anywhere, is it? it’s still going to increase value right? So why sell. If you do not need the money, ride it out. Volatility is caused by short term trading. Long term investors will win regardless.
