A new SEC filing details all the ways that Trump Media thinks Donald Trump himself could be a major risk to the company.

    DJT dropped 5.98 today and another 0.62 in after hours trading, closing at $26.00 even.

      That’s still a really high market cap. Even 2.60 per share would be way too high.

        Yeah its burn rate is roughly 45 million/yr, and it only has 200mil on hand. Total income was 5 mil, with a 50 mil spend.

        You could call it a “growth” phase, but its losing users, which is the only growth that matter with social media.

        Its really just a vanity/cash grab project. Being a meme stock, that doesbt mean it wont make someone money, but it will mainly be the ones that got in early, pyramid scheme style.

          Even that is overly charitable. It really is nothing but a blatant attempt at money laundering.

      Probably because there was a 40M share issuance at opening from being above $17.50 today.

        That certainly has a lot to do with it. That, and being a worthless money-loser of a company tied to a conman traitor clown who has bankrupted every company he’s ever owned or run.

    I’m starting to wonder if he truly, genuinely believed he’d be able to walk away with billions from this garbage. It’s cratering so fast and so far, it could end up de-listed from NASDAQ and relegated to penny-stock status.

    So… How can I help make that happen faster?

      I don’t think he thinks that far ahead. Only ever far enough to get to the next grift.

    Hm. I wonder if the market insiders have any advance knowledge of trump’s legal issues worsening so the social medial platform is a symptom of those impending issues.

      Or, hear me out, any method of stock valuation that isn’t “hurr durr meme stock to the m00n!” Shows that DJT is worthless

      It’s just no one wants to buy it, it’s a dog. You have to sell for what the next person will pay, and his faithful are out of money to buy your shares.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
