Do you guys really want them to look into your stock being manipulated? Because I think there might be some investigation in the IPO being massively overvalued...
It wasn't an IPO, though. DWAC (a company which was formed specifically to acquire other companies) acquired Truth Social at what everyone thinks is a massively overvalued price.
All this short selling isn't institutional investors duping retail investors, it's institutional investors realizing how thoroughly DWAC screwed its retail investors by engaging in this deal solely to transfer wealth to Donald Trump. The Financials simply don't make sense, and the institutions know it.
And the weird part is, even though there are a lot of lawsuits right now around Truth Social and DWAC, I don't think a single one is from an investor. Because those investors have been duped into believing that all the facts around the acquisition are lies, even though the financial filings paint the picture directly.
If a $30 million business get valued at over a billion dollars, I'd short sell it too. Trump probably did too.
lol i bet he did! Meanwhile gamestop has 1B cash on hand is profitable and has a shit market cap of 3B. WAKE THE FUCK UP ALL US MARKETS ARE ALL BULLSHIT MADE UP ALL THE TIME.
it's not just the US. the initial value of stock or companies is hard to determine. look at this, for example:
lol GME’s price per earnings is over 500 and they’re not doing shit with that money you gave them. Die mad about it.
Truly a sophisticated investor. How could you have possibly lost all your money gambling? It must be the hEdGiEs.
Like a claw machine you get controlled by others life and like a claw machine you never seem to grasp a single thing...
What motivates you to shit on people? Did you dad leave you as a kid? Mom was a cunt? Who knows. You like that loser at the party we didn't invite and shows up and won't shut up. You must care as much as me cause here we are, sharing an intimate moment...
Trump is supposedly banned from selling it for six months. Do I think he has a way around that, yes.
Well the obvious one is the only thing holding to that six month block is the board of the company.
I don't know if he can do antics like lending them to a shell company of his and have them do things with them.
SEC rules for insiders are pretty strict. And he already made billions on the IPO. Even with the stock price crashing he's still making a bundle, so I doubt there's any reason for him to take a risk on illegal trading.
Did he make billions? I know the media reported that his net worth had jumped billions from the increased valuation of the stock.
The more honest media also reported that he was unable to take advantage of that valuation because he couldnt sell any of the stock.
It is true that he doesn't realize that gain until he sells. Which has to be disclosed ahead of time. Which could negatively impact the price.
From what I understand; he can try to get a loan against the stock, but it is apparently unlikely any bank would make those loans given hes not allowed to sell the stock for another five months now.
It's not a law that says he can't trade his shares for six months. It was part of the deal going "public" (they loopholed out of having an IPO). That deal also can be changed by the board of directors. That board is just sycophants like Devin Nunes and one of his sons he doesn't hate.
I guess the narrative here that Trump feeds to the retail stockholders is going to be that he was going to make everyone wealthy and that it was a great buy but that evil nasty short sellers ruined the party.
In all seriousness, it boggles me how everything that guy touches winds up with some level of trying to mislead people.
Why does it boggle you? He's always been an unapologetic con man.
What's boggling is people keep believing his bullshit.
Also, boggle has now lost all meaning to me.
I'm afraid that this is all he is as a person. He doesn't actually do or produce things, he pretends to do so and fleeces money from sycophants in the process.
The stock market is a casino where the whales are allowed to put extra aces in their hand when they make a large enough bet.
Makes the Stock Market look like a scam to every normal person. Hurts the idea of ever investing or trusting any institution that is involved in investing. So yes a massive investigation of everything about this is warranted. It should be done by Congress, and Federal investigators.
Good. The stock market is a scam and we should get rid of it, mandating that all profit dividends be evenly distributed among the workers instead.
Frankly, we need to severely curtail limited-liability corporations to begin with. Not only are they sure as Hell not "people," incorporation was supposed to be a privilege granted in exchange for the company accomplishing some specific goal for the the public good!
You do realize that if Trump gets elected, Bibi will he even more brazen and get even more weapons and finding from the US, right?
He won't even need to. Trump can probably be convinced to offer up the services of the 6th fleet to Israel a-la-carte.
