Don't be in a hurry to buy back.

I short most things that run up. I shorted AMZN today via put spreads. I shorted CWRD. ETC.

I'm sure you feel like you are making a point, but all stocks go up and down.

I tried but it was impossible. I use Schwab and they put up a notice that there were no shares of DJT available to be borrowed for short sellers.

I'm guessing the point is sticking the cultist's nose in it after they were crowing about it going up so much after the IPO.

Down 22% today after reporting a loss of over $50 million for 2023.

The reason the stock is down so much today is that in the release of DJT's quarterly financial results the company's auditor included a "going concern" warning.

The filing includes a note from an independent accounting firm, Colorado-based BF Borgers CPA PC, warning that Trump Media's "operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern."

The implied borrow rates in the options market were insane. It was like $6 to short it for a week.

If anyone has stock sell it before the end of August. Trump can’t sell his stock for another 6 months and when/if he does the stock will tank and there is a good chance it goes bankrupt if he sells. He owns 60% of the stock in Truth and if he sold it could minimize his loss.

That should be obvious to anyone and should have been from the start.

It's a platform for 77 year old Donald Trump and little more. When he's gone there is no reason for it to exist.

For an outfit that some have claimed has three employees, yes I saw that posted here, I'm curious how they could lose $58 million.

You think it's free to develop and run a platform such as Truth Social or Twitter/X, or Facebook?

This was the same for the options market. I wanted to do a 65/60 put spread when the stock was north of $65. Price was around $4 on the $5 spread. Not happening.

$DJT Trump Media and Technology Group has lost $4.5 billion in value since 3/26/24. Hopefully the Bible business is doing better.
