The G.O.P. felon announced a week or so ago that he "would not sell" now.

So if he does sell, at whatever price, he will have SUCKERED his investors and made them into LOSERS.

That's clearly against the law. And everyone is watching to see what the republicon felon-in-chief will do.

That is for suckers and losers. No one will arrest him if he sells. Now if he took rich folks for a ride, he may have to pay. But taking the common folks for a ride and then selling the stock? He can sleep soundly on this one.

Several involved were not allowed to lend shares to short sellers, and there were punitive terms for borrowing the stock.
Short selling was set up to be pretty tough to do bargain hunting.
Even the short-sellers that did get in may take a beating too, with the fees eating up the profits or more.

Think. Again.

I'm not sure who imposed those restrictions but, I was public information quite a while back.
Similar to the restrictions put on TFG about selling before a certain date. Then, he couldn't sell at peak & tank the stock for everyone else.

He invested 0$ in this venture, his "contribution" is being the only posting lure on the network and his name.

Unless the stock falls into pennies, he should get something in the $100M to $1B range.

They would get nothing in return for their stock shares. It would amount to a donation to Trump. Just another Trump scam. He gets to write off the losses AND collect money from the deluded ones who buy the stock.

The terms of the lockup allowed it to end on Sept. 19 if the price was above $12 (which it is). If it had fallen below $12, the lockup on Trump selling shares wouldn't end until Sept. 25.

Seems like that was cited as the "true worth" of the shares according to accepted stock metrics... about 12 cents each.


Oh, nevermind-- I was responding to the subject line before I read the post--
thinking "the sweet spot to buy would be about 12 cents", if it was any other stock or owner...

12. Trump Seen Losing Election to Harris, According to New Survey. DJT Stock Falls.
Wed Sep 18, 2024, 10:49 AM
Sep 18
A CNBC survey of 27 investment strategists, economists, and fund managers showed Vice President Harris is viewed as more likely to take the White House than Trump. According to the survey, 48% now see Harris winning the presidency in November, compared with 41% who think it’s more likely to be Trump.

The survey, released late Tuesday, was conducted from Sept. 12 to Sept. 14, after the first presidential debate between the rivals. It marks a change from a survey from late July, which showed 50% expecting Trump to win, compared with 37% predicting a Harris win.

DJT stock surged after the assassination attempt on the ex-president on July 13 but has fallen steadily since it became clear Harris would become the Democratic candidate after President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race.

Shares are down 76% since they hit a one-year high of $66 on March 27. The stock has lost 48% in the past three months.

Also coincidentally, TSF wasn't seen for a week prior to that charade. Was he working on the choreography to get it all down, including the fight, fight, fight, gestures afterwards?

Then, last Friday, before the second charade, the stock shot up abruptly 10% before closing. The next news we have about TSF is everyone in the media talking about a gunman while TSF was golfing again. Only, this time, the stock didn't shoot up as he probably expecting it to. It sank instead. ** beating a dead horse **

He used weasel words to say he wasn’t selling…
But if he sold a ITM special covered call contract at $12/share expiring this Friday to say, a Saudi prince, then he would be technically not lying. The shares would be assigned to the contract buyer and Trump would receive $1.5b.

Just a way of funneling money to Trump at the expense of anyone dumb enough to invest in this idiotic endeavor. Let me see…the guy bankrupted two casinos , an airline, a steak company, a wine company, a vodka company, ran a sham “university “, misused inaugural funds, but Truth Social…oh this one will work for sure. The seed money for this latest fiasco was just a bunch of rich donors bypassing the already lax campaign finance laws to enrich their benefactor.

Of course, since he undoubtedly leveraged and borrowed against the stock when it was stronger when it drops to $5 bucks he'll be a couple billion in the hole.

Just add it to the list of failures that somehow leave him with plenty of borrowed money to in his pockets.

Russian investor made millions off insider trading tied to Trump Media, court docs say

"...Postolnikov wound up making numerous investments in Digital World in September and October before the merger was announced. In the week following the announcement, he sold “substantially all” of his holdings for a profit of roughly $22.8 million, according to Troiano’s affidavit.

...The alleged insider trades aren’t the only financial connection between Postolnikov and the Trump company.
Dominica-based Paxum Bank, which public records show is controlled by Postolnikov, was reportedly the conduit of $8 million in loans to Trump Media, according to the Washington Post. The money came from a mysterious entity called the ES Family Trust, which listed a Paxum Bank employee named Angel Pacheco as the trustee, according to the Post.

Trump Media has filed suit against the Washington Post for defamation. The company acknowledged last year to the SEC that it owes at least $2 million to the ES Family Trust..."
