KeepItReal Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 12 hours ago, Stable Genius said: Shares of Truth Social, the presidential candidate’s social-media upstart, have fallen more than 65% from their recent peak. The money-losing company was worth roughly $9 billion shortly after it started trading late last month. The company’s shares have tumbled so far this week, ending the session Tuesday down 14% at $22.84, giving it a market value of about $3.1 billion. Above from WallStreet Journal 16APRIL24 According to my calculations, given current earnings, anticipated growth and tech company Price/Earnings rations a fair price for the stock would be $1.87. So once the share price reaches $1 next month, it will be worth a buy, right??

Marc in Calif Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—In a development that an aide to the presumptive GOP nominee called “the best news this campaign has gotten in quite some time,” a new poll shows that a majority of likely voters “vastly prefer” Donald J. Trump when he is asleep to when he is awake. According to the survey, conducted by the Opinion Research Institute at the University of Minnesota, the conscious version of Trump garners a lowly 41 percent approval rating, in marked contrast with the unconscious version’s 98 percent. When asked to state what they liked most about the slumbering Trump, 72 percent checked “Cannot say anything,” while a whopping 83 percent ticked “Can do no harm.” Carol Foyler, a top Trump campaign aide, said that the numbers suggest “we have to do a better job of getting the message out that Donald Trump is asleep most if not all of the day.” “We need to showcase Mr. Trump at campaign events where he looks heavy-lidded and, ideally, snores,” she said. “If, during a debate with Biden, he were to suddenly doze off and face-plant on the podium, that would be huge for us.” The aide said that the poll results would help the Trump campaign fine-tune its electoral strategy, adding, “Between now and Election Day, we have to keep Donald Trump on a steady drip of warm milk, chamomile tea, and Ambien.” KeepItReal, reader, JKane and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc in Calif Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - On the final day of jury selection in the hush money trial of Donald J. Trump, Judge Juan Merchan dismissed a Manhattan woman who expressed extremely negative views about the defendant. The woman testified that it would be “impossible” to render an unbiased judgment of a man she considered “vicious, cruel, and devoid of human decency.” “The idea of spending the next few weeks in the same room with him nauseates me,” she added. “Please, let me go.” Asked if she had had any personal interaction with the defendant, she said, “He wouldn’t know my name.” Although the woman’s comments riveted the entire courtroom, they failed to awaken Trump. reader and Bingo T Dog 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of his original deal and all he has to do is keep the stock price above $17.50 for twenty of any thirty days during a ninety day period that started on March 25th. Don't ask me who came up with that bogey, but it's one that Trump is likely to hit by the end of April. So it looks like he hit his bogey yesterday, keeping the stock price above $17.50 for twenty days, and he's been awarded another 36 million shares. If my math is right, that brings his total holdings to 115 million shares. On 4/15/2024 at 10:18 AM, lookin said: My guess is he'll stay quiet until he's got the additional 36 million shares. And then we'll hear that he's been running a 'perfect' business worth at least ten billion dollars and that somebody is out to get him and the stock is a bargain anywhere under a hundred bucks. As if on cue, yesterday Devin Nunes asked Congress to investigate the potential "unlawful manipulation of DJT stock." Now that Trump has pocketed his 'earnout' bonus, my prediction was - and is - that he'll start bellyaching that he's once again being 'treated unfairly'. It would be nice if, just this once, he'd step up and say, "I'm running this business, my name is on the door, and it's up to me to make it a success and deliver value to our shareholders. I, Donald J. Trump, will make sure my investors and supporters are not left holding the bag." If he can make America great again, why can't he make Trump Media great again? stevenkesslar and Bingo T Dog 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gets the last laugh? It isn't that useless idiot Jimmy Kimmel or the left-wingers here who predicted doom for Trump Media stock! I'd buy SOXL instead. It's an ETF with NVDA, AVGO, all the tech powerhouses. My nephew was recently up close to 10x on the $7 shares he bought in Fall 2022. I made the mistake of listening to the doom and gloom recession mongers in late 2022 and waited until Fall 2023 to jump into SOXL. But as Jim Roppel said recently, the "real money" started to be made starting Fall 2023. And he thinks about half of the money made on this bull will be in AI/tech related investments like SOXL and FNGU. Doesn't it shock you, @EmmetK, that real smart and rich traders and investors are not screaming, "Buy Trump! Buy DJT!" Anyhoo, SOXL just had the inevitable freefall correction from $58 to about $30. I actually sold half of mine in the 40's, at like a 100 % profit, thinking there would be a correction and I'd take some profits and buy back later. And now I will. A LOT. I think by the end of May it may be the $20's. As will DJT. Again. One stock is a big winner. And one is a big loser. Which do you think is which?

No one can turn lemons into lemonade better than Donald Trump. Yup. When you wrote that a little over a month ago DJT was at $66. So it has, as of today, lost one third of it's value. Some lemonade! Trump is unique at knowing how to lose. Not him, personally. I mean he excels at turning his MAGA cult into losers. Lose, lose, lose! DJT in consistent. When he didn't lose as bad as people thought he would in 2020, he called it "winning." That led to lots of cops having their heads beat in. Festive! Now that his stock is down only one third, not two thirds, that is "winning" too. That's the DJT we know, and don't love. Or even respect. Loser!

I believe you stated you bought in at $38.00... On 4/10/2024 at 5:13 PM, Marc in Calif said: Truth Social hit a new post-merger low of $33.48 on Wednesday afternoon, bringing Trump Media’s market capitalization to approximately $4.6 billion. As of Wednesday, the company had almost halved its market value from highs of more than $8 billion during its first trading week.... Analysts said the company’s initial stock boom had little to do with its underlying business and more to do with support for Trump, lumping Trump Media in with so-called “meme stocks,” like GameStop, AMC, and Reddit. In its first week on the Nasdaq, Trump Media was considered one of the most expensive stocks to short-sell, according to S3 Partners. Short-sellers are traders who bet that stocks will fall by borrowing shares and selling them high with the belief that they can be repurchased later at a lower cost. The Trump Media stock bubble was short-lived. The company’s stock began its free fall last week after it disclosed a loss from operations of almost $16 million in 2023, plus interest expense of $39.4 million, while bringing in just $4.1 million in revenue. That’s compared with a loss from operations of $23.2 million, plus interest expense of $2 million, on $1.5 million in revenue in 2022. In a regulatory filing, Trump Media said it “lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time,” raising “substantial doubt” as to its ability to continue operations. The company said it expects to continue incurring operating losses and negative cash flow “for the foreseeable future.” On 4/11/2024 at 3:18 PM, Marc in Calif said: And today...

Driving the stock lower Tuesday: The company’s premier product, Truth Social, announced a major expansion into streaming, a notoriously cost-intensive business in which media behemoths like Disney have struggled to turn a profit. TMTG’s stock, majority-owned by former President Donald Trump, is down 70% from the all-time high it set on March 26, the day after it merged with a blank-check acquisition company to go public.

What is your cost basis? When you posted how Trump turns lemons into lemonade on March 26, good, decent, and God-loving MAGA folk were buying his shares for between $65 and $80 a share. So I assume you did NOT pay that much for them. Despite your telling us at the time how selling stock for $80 a share made Trump a genius, and what not. I suck at math.

Good for you. 😀 I missed that. I went off your original post, which talked about how Trump turns lemons into lemonade and is great at losing elections and lawsuits making a fortune. When you posted that on March 26th DJT was selling for $70 to $80 a share. Now it's in the mid 50's. Mostly seems like a lemon so far. But the point is buy low and sell high. So you are half way there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
