DJT is the most expensive stock on the market to short - up to 900% annually

Holy shite

You need a lot of cash — and guts — to short Trump Media stock right now.
Trump Media, which began being publicly traded last week, is now far and away the most expensive U.S. stock to sell short, according to S3 Partners, a leading financial data marketplace platform.
quote:
But plenty of people are still willing to pay those steep costs, based on their belief that Trump Media’s share price is bound to fall dramatically from its Wednesday closing of $48.81. Investors who wanted to borrow Trump Media shares to sell them short on Wednesday would have had to pay annual financing costs of between 750% and 900% of the price of the stock, said Ihor Dusaniwsky, managing director of predictive analytics at S3 Partners.
That means a short seller of the DJT ticker who took a position Wednesday would have had to pay costs of between about $1 and $1.22 per day to the lenders.
To break even on a new trade after one month, a short seller would have to see the share price of Trump Media drop by more than $30.
Holy shite

But getting shares to borrow to sell short is increasingly difficult. Out of about 5 million shares of Trump Media available to short, 4.94 million have been already borrowed, which drives up the financing costs.

These "lenders" are the ones who are making the real consistent bank when it comes to politically related emotion driven stock activities. It would be interesting to know who owns the shares that they are using.

It’s usually banks, funds, PE and the like. People talk about “relationships” being important on Wall Street for moments like this. You want to borrow a high-demand stock that everyone’s gunning for? It pays to be buddies with the guy who just happens to have some of it in their diversified portfolio.

Another example of why people who say just "short it" don't understand.
The best play for these meme/fomo types of securities are to just sit on the sidelines. A new one will replace it shortly after this crashes and burns

They talked about this on the All In podcast and how shorting this stock is for lunatics. The people who are going to buy and hold aren't doing it for money, they're doing it with a passion as intense as the WallStreetBets apes with GME.
Yes it's wildly overvalued but anyone trying to short is going to pay out the arse and the Trump crowd would gladly hold on to a goofy stock to see that happen.

It's a meme stock with absolutely nothing to support its current value...which makes shorting it risky...like GME. The question is how long will boomers (and sadly gen xers) actually hodl. They're not unemployed zennials with covid bucks.

This tells me that it's not investing dollars, it's activism...

https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/… Trump Will Be World's 7th Richest Person, Says Peter Schiff, If MAGA Investors Push Newly-Listed DJT Stock To $2K
quote:
Renowned economist Peter Schiff has made a bold prediction about the potential rise of Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ:DJT) stock and its impact on former President Donald Trump‘s net worth. What Happened: Schiff, in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday, wrote, “If MAGA investors push $DJT to $2k per share, Trump will be the 7th richest person in the world, just ahead of Bill Gates.

tCult loves to give him $, so it’s a possibility.

In all manners Trump related, there is no sense that can be made of it.

Dealers learned their lesson since GME AMC CAR and DWAC prior gamma squeeze.

It’s kind of funny to see the posts taunting the people who bought the shares for $70 to identify themselves. …They’re doing just fine renting those shares out for $1/day.

I plan on buying some call options for December or January. If he is elected again this will skyrocket and if another catalyst happens prior to that same results

Is it worth taking a flyer on this?
The fundamentals look bad and the stock is tanking. On the other hand, there is the potential for a short squeeze and you might be able to profit from volatility by selling on a spike.

I thought the djtww warrants would be a sure thing, and never thought it would collapse this spectacularly in less than a month. Seems like this meme stock lacks the devotees willing to flush their own money to make some principled point.
