Our guest this episode is the notorious Mr. Bald from Bald and Bankrupt on YouTube! He's amassed over 4 million subscribers and embarked on many dangerous journies and documented travels to places few have gone to visit. These risks have paid off as Bald actually filed for bankruptcy in the UK before he began filming but is now a certified millionaire thanks to his YouTube channel.

In this episode, we are discussing merger arbitrage opportunities, specifically on a stock that Sam & Derek personally own. We've been talking about Matterport since the metaverse series in 2021, and finally the stock had some life pumped back into it after a takeover offer from CoStar Group in April. Is this a good opportunity to jump in on the deal? We discuss with guest Collin Brantmeyer from the Motely Fool. Then Sam and Derek put in place plans on how they'll try and take advantage of this potential win from a stock that's been a major dog in the portfolio.

Discussed:

• Collin Brantmeyer's Article on Matterport Arbitrage in the Motley Fool
• Matterport Press Release on CoStar Buyout Offer
• Death of a Car Salesman Novel by Collin Brantmeyer
