if you ever thought anything with trump involved was a good investment decision, then you deserve to lose on it
Shorted with options.
Really? The short interest is easy to high to make it worth it
If so then you were late to the table.
Oh yeah, maybe a few months ago…
I opened my position on March 27th then traded conservatively. It’s one of the easiest plays I’ve ever made. My comprehensive analysis was, “Trump will fuck this up.”
You mean the IV on the options? Yeah probably so.
When it merged, couple days later, the short interest was above 100% with a ton of naked shorts
Trump, a main draw for Truth Social users and many retail investors in the company, said earlier in September that he will not sell his stake. The stock price briefly shot up after his remarks.
Other early investors have made no such promises. They include ARC Global, a sponsor of the blank-check firm that took Trump Media public, and United Atlantic Ventures, an entity controlled by two former contestants on Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice.”
I believe it’s not only that these investors made no promises not to sell, but that several of them specifically expressed that they would be selling as soon as they were legally allowed to do so.
It’s hard to accurately value Truth Social. But I think if Trump were to leave the platform, its value would go to zero, and that makes it very risky. I just saw a price of 12.74. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s still quite overvalued, and so it makes sense for those investors to try to sell at this price.
It’s losing money hand over fist, has a tiny user base and little name recognition. They have no assets worth anything.
The fundamentals are clear: the stock is completely worthless except as a wild gamble. People would be better off investing in penny-stocks.

And as influence peddling/money laundering for Trump.
Closed at $12.44. I love it.
Certainly not a pump and dump…nope…nope…no way
At the moment, every single person who has paid money for a share so far is in the negative. Which is nice.
Needs to go way way further so that it’s worthless to the people who created it out of thin air/got money laundering payments too.
every single person who has paid money for a share <and is still holding> so far is in the negative.
Clearly the people that sold above $60 made money on all the suckers that were stupid enough to buy.
True
Trump and other company insiders were bound by lockup agreements that barred them from selling their shares in the initial months after Trump Media went public.
Those restrictions expired at the closing bell Thursday.
I bet he won’t sell on Friday, which will lead to people having faith that Trump will stand by his word for once, the stock will go up a little, Monday he sells it all.
He’ll get screwed by the SEC if he sells after saying he won’t. He’s gotta wait at least a few weeks now.
His fellow shareholders don’t need to though, and I’m gonna laugh soooo hard if Trump ends up being the one left holding the bag.
He’ll get screwed by the SEC if he sells after saying he won’t.
Oh, this is the thing he’ll actually face consequences for?
with shit like this, don’t you have to publicly declare intent to sell? there are forms and shit
I think you’re right, since he had such a large stake.
Pretty sure you can’t publicly state intent to not sell, which pumps the price, then sell. Which is what he’d be doing and run afoul of laws against pump and dumping (stock price manipulation).
Minority share holders have a right for protection against things like unreasonable compensation or personal benefits of bigger share holders. They can take him to court if he infringes their rights.
Worthless stick still worth more than $0.
Trading volume accelerated significantly as the lockup lifted. More than 14 million shares changed hands on Thursday and nearly 22 million were exchanged Friday, far exceeding the 30-day average volume of about 8.3 million shares.
Actually closed higher than open today (9-24) which is the first time in a LONG time.
It’s CLEARLY a way for foreign governments and billionaire supporters to funnel $$$ to trump without the pesky election laws getting in the way.
And he wants people to trust him with fucking crypto can you imagine?
