Yes, after starting this thread I immediately withdrew all my money from baseball cards and put it where _guaranteed_ to grow: Trump stocks. Just like Trump steaks, Trump schools, Trump sartorials and Trump slots. As one poster said, if I paraphrase and invent punctuation, “🚀 to the moon, baby!!!”

I’m being optimistic. There are too many millions of people buying with what passes for their hearts to keep it from dropping to where it should.

Truth Social is attractively priced today at $49.50; better get in while the goings good. Removing $1.2B in payments will only make the company more valuable. Since most financial institutions do not recognize this opportunity, one must question their business acumen.

But after midnight, no new guesses will be accepted.

When you increase the number of shares, you increase the potency of all of the shares. It’s the scholarship and power of homeopathy, applied to high finance.

Seems to be at a YTD low of thirty-seven bucks. Those big investment houses missed a golden opportunity.

Um, it was $26 in April. Currently nowhere close to the lowest since the post-merger bump days.

I clicked on the link in the 2nd post to check (I usually avoid CNN for this since it is so slow), and noticed they rated it 7 our of 10 in expected performance! This despite the horrible data listed just below that.

Reality, shmeality.

Down 7% today. It is reality though. There are many people who want to own the stock. That’s the only reality that matters. The price will continue to be propped up by Donald fans. When he eats that final hamberder that pushes him over the edge then the fans will cash out.

On Robinhood they usually have a simple graph of buy/hold/sell percentages based off of expert recommendations. They have never had that graph on the DJT page.

Are there any analysts that actually cover DJT?

Paprika Analytics has just changed its recommendation on DJT from “avoid like the plague” to “you would be a fool not to invest all your money in DJT and baseball cards”.

I’m not sure. On Robinhood it does say something like “People who have invested in DJT have also invested in” and then they list AMC, GameStop and Rumble.

Might be paywalled. (Still above $25).

Am I right in saying it has still not dropped below $15?

Yeah and if, as seems likely, Trump wins it will go sky high.

It went from around $31 Fri to $46 this morning (and started drifting down).

I suspect anyone trying to “game” this stock didn’t take into account an assassination attempt.

I think this has somewhat increased Trump’s chances of winning, which was already good.

In the past week+ it’s fallen back down to $30 this morning. Just a general decline with no big drop apparent due to the Biden announcement. It’s basically back to the pre-shooting level.

Some people made money, some people lost money. Standard unpredictable DJT stock stuff. Nevermind the actual business.
