What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

Most of the time, the money from a share purchase is going to whoever is selling those shares, often not the company itself. Plenty of swapping between hands in the hope that whoever is selling will make a little profit on the sale if the shares value goes up. It's essentially gambling with little chucks of company ownership.

No expert myself, but I think that the company that's putting itself on the market does get money from the initial sale of available shares, or at least whoever it is that owns those inital shares. Donnie isn't allowed to sell his shares yet, but once he can, all of that money goes to him (or the SDNY depending on what happens).

But since the share value is tanking, you're getting the initial investors wanting to sell their stocks before their investment is a total loss for them. So they sell at a loss, which drops the value of the shares and scares others into selling at a loss, which drops the value of the shares…and so on…in this insane emotion-driven bulls*it production that the world's economy is apparently built upon.

”imagine committing so many crimes you get bored at your trial”

I'm amazed it hasn't dropped further.

Can still take time. Plenty of shenigans to pull off before the shares are worthless. You've also got the wierd phenomenon of MAGA cultists buying shares as tribute to their God-King. That not enough to actually rescue the $DJT shares from oblivion, or increase their value, but it might slightly delay the total collapse of them.

Down down down!

Trump media.

How low will it go?

The 2b he would get is subject to someone/s willingness to buy the shares, the current fluctuations is based on a very small percentage of sellers and they alone have tanked the prices. If TFG put even a few percent of his holding up for sale I suspect it would drop the price to single digits. There is no way he can sell it all or even a reasonably percent of it without having a few large scale buyers in the wings. What the rules on that are I don't know though.

Point being, share price is no reflection of what he would get on the day

It's the SEC that would be the governing body I think, and as long as he follows the rules, then he's following the rules. What was bizarre about this is the listing price, it tanking to single digits is just a natural price correction. This company has almost nothing behind it to justify a decent price, the valuations were only ever pie in the sky figures. As in most financial transactions the advise is usually 'do your own research' anyone that put any thought into the price had to know that it was plucked from the air and then multiplied by 109. Tech stock are typically tricky to value, but in this instance you could compare it to Twitter and maybe Reddit so there was something to work with.

As to TFG requesting the six month embargo to be lifted so he can sell, well that's in the rules as well. Anyone caught out by not selling their shares before he does can't have anyone to come back to and complain, what would they say? 'you have to help me, TFG scammed me' reply would be 'well no s**t he did, that's what he always does'

I can fall asleep anywhere. If Im not being mentally stimulated, something in my brain says "Lights out".

So I don't really blame Donald for falling asleep, but calling your adversary 'Sleepy Joe' when falling asleep in the worlds view is a possibility yourself is poor planning or poor self-awareness.

So tired…. tired of winning…

Truth Social stocks down another 14% today. Lovely to see this scumbag haemorrhaging money.
