I bought 100 shares of DJT stock this morning at $58.15. I watched it throughout the morning and sold at $75. Made a cool $1700. Might see where it opens at tomorrow and put in a limit order. Pump and .

Might see where it opens at tomorrow and put in a limit order. it is back to $62 today. i hope you pocketed your profit. i think i am going to buy this put tomorrow: finance.yahoo.com/quote/DJT241115P00022500it is pretty much an election bet. i doubt i will make much off it.but as i said before, i think the stock is worth about $5. PS- what you should really do with ANY Trump investment is a stop loss order. you are aware that he bankrupted Trump hotels, right?

I''ll wait for a few more days and see where it goes. I heard about Trumps bankruptcy. It's a risk of business. As long as it is not criminal.

As long as it is not criminal. not sure what you mean by criminal. i would never accuse anyone in bankruptcy court of criminal conduct. if criminal conduct was part of the issue, the bankruptcy would NOT be granted. so i would assume that it was NOT. that is not his only bankruptcy. again, i am not certain that he has ever run a business successfully. i don't see much evidence of it. not sure why you like Trump Media. neither Trump nor their board have any media experience. the company booked $5M in revenue last year, and lost $50M. but the most distressing thing, for an investor, is the fact that organic membership is down 51% in the 12 months prior to the merger. the company has so little revenue and so few employees that it would qualify under SBA guidelines as a small enterprise. not that i have any problem with speculative investments. i just bought shares in a junior copper company that loses $1.5M every year and has no revenue. but at least they have mineral assets. what does Trump Media have, other than a failed CEO? i am therefore not going to advise you against this. i am merely saying that i would be short on this investment. disclosure: i suck at shorting. so you have that going for you.

Did the final agreement say he couldn’t liquidate for 6 months? He will use his marketing savvy and followers to keep the price safe until he can get his money out.

I read he wasn’t able to cash out more than 1 percent a month, since whatever lure Truth Social has is its connection with Trump. I figure he’ll find someway around that, or he’ll ignore it like he usually does.

Not only a failed CEO but one who has a long history of squeezing all the worth from a company and lining his pocket with it. His custom made ermine lined gold pockets. He’s not a CEO who pours his time and money back into his business to ensure it succeeds.

The Borowitz Report
Trump Forced to Sell Prized Collection of House RepublicansWASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Drowning in debt, Donald J. Trump has been forced to unload his treasured collection of over two hundred Republican congresspersons. “If the Joe Biden legal system can make me sell my politicians, it can make you sell yours,” he warned supporters at a rally in Michigan. “This should never be allowed to happen in this country.” But even as the indicted businessman put his used legislators on the block, economist Davis Logsdon, who tracks the resale market for public officials, questioned how much they will fetch. “The first thing any prospective buyer of preowned politicians wants to know is, what condition are they in?” he said. “Unfortunately, many of these House Republicans are missing such crucial features as brains and spines, and, in the case of the men, two other parts.” The economist cited the cautionary example of Koch Industries, which had to withdraw Rep. Matt Gaetz from eBay in February after he drew a top bid of $30. Trump Forced to Sell Prized Collection of House Republicans Saw this on twitter:

Last scene from the movie: ETA: I have no idea what that singing in the background is in the video. It definately was not part of the movie.

He will use his marketing savvy and followers to keep the price safe until he can get his money out. yes, but he can get board approval to earlier. since the board is filled with Yes Men, they will oblige him. it will be terrible for investors. but this entire enterprise is terrible for investors, imo.

if you put value into your businesses, you can always extract it later. and generally, if you are watching ROI, the value will be much higher than if you had pulled it out and invested it, or worse, spent it on depreciating assets or consumables.
but it won't work if you are a bad businessman who does't care about ROI. for that kind of person, they are better off grifting.

QED The Trumps would have been better off if they had put daddy Fred’s money into a good investment firm when he left his 400 million inheritance. It would be a tidy sum now and would allow the kids and grandkids a pleasant upper class life. Instead the family has been on the roller coaster of Trumps shitty investments, except for Mary and her brother, who got cheated out of their piece of the pie by uncle Don.

Trump is late to the slide rule manufacturing business. but as i said before, he doesn't care, so long as he can pilfer off people like rip. Jim Cramer, who i also dislike, valued DJT at $2. that is more cynical than me.

I think he goes with his ‘gut’ a lot, but he’s got a bad gut. Take golf courses. I didn’t realize it, but golf courses tend to be money pits. Difficult to turn a profit. Yet Trump likes to buy them anyway, probably because he likes to motor out in his golf cart like a king surveying his serfs (plus, if he owns the course he can declare himself the best golfer). Buys for ego reasons, not good business sense.

keep in mind that business and golf are like spaghetti and meatballs. so, it mixes well with his interest of appearing important.
in other words, it is a vanity project. pretty much like everything he does.

Him buying Twitter, firing the staff and renaming it X. A good portion of his SpaceX shit, etc. Either he was brilliant and got too high on himself, or he was never brilliant, just lucky at the beginning.

yeah. i think he has reached the point where he knows he has enough money, and so he is not behaving like a businessperson any more. he claims that he sees himself as someone who wants to change the world. the only problem is that he doesn't seem to be interested in making it better.
ergo......

I think ‘high’ might be the key word - he is evidently open about using drugs. You can dabble in drugs and then you can be a drug addict- he may have started off as the first and fell into the second. If you’re incredibly rich and can’t get fired because you own the company that kind of thing can out of hand with nothing to reel you in. Could explain some of the more extreme decisions he’s made on X.

Trump has been trying to get the judge recused in his Stormy Daniels case, if that doesn’t work he may fire his whole team of lawyers to delay the start of the trial two weeks from now.
Would that work? If it did wouldn’t criminal defendants be constantly firing their lawyers to avoid trials forever?

He knows exactly how to play the system.

The judge should tell Trump if he fires his lawyers he can represent himself. But the trial will begin April 15th.

Trump has been trying to get the judge recused in his Stormy Daniels case, if that doesn’t work he may fire his whole team of lawyers to delay the start of the trial two weeks from now. Would that work? If it did wouldn’t criminal defendants be constantly firing their lawyers to avoid trials forever? no, i don't believe it will work. think about it. if this tactic worked, everyone would try it and delay trials indefinitely. the reason that doesn't happen is that the courts see through it. they will appoint attorneys and proceed.

The judge should tell Trump if he fires his lawyers he can represent himself. But the trial will begin April 15th. if he does it, and i am not convinced that he will, it will be his biggest hail Mary, yet. a true act of desperation.
