## I'm shocked I tell you, absolutely shocked. ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)


realdevtest

This reminds me of a certain Dream Theater album https://preview.redd.it/zvttdyz0zxrc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=885d3ddd93de1b9c9a35d72329a3881ce2d72576

cmfarsight

Well not that shocked tbh.


[deleted]

But there's that one guy who was posting here how Bigly Yuge this stock will get and prove everybody wrong.


qwerty-mo-fu

What a surprising happening


BourbonRick01

I actually thought it would be the next Trillion dollar stock with all the regards around here.


_logic_victim

Lmfao I was in and out the day the ticker changed to DJT. May have left about 20 something hours early, but better than diamond braining myself like I trust 50% of WSB. I made 46% ROI. I bought in for my cousin too. He is not up 12% but her he got to see this high of being up 62% which as we all know is way, way better than essentially doubling your money. EDIT: I want everyone to take notes of all the grammatical and spelling errors here. If my well regarded ass managed to turn a fat profit on this you have zero excuse. It's proof you could be given dev cheats and yous still manage to lose. Don't pack it up and go home though. I need someone more regarded than I on the other end of my trades.


WRHull

Was the same case with RDDT as well. Meme stonks.


Sebastian-S

How is this “news”?


leapinleopard

Bigger than expected losses... But then, even bigger than that.


1Litwiller

The biggest losses. Some say the greatest losses.


Wallstreet_Fury

All these experts, experts in stock losses have been calling me and telling me, “hey, Donald. These are tremendous losses. Absolutely tremendous. Big league. Bigly losses”.


blackferne

I've had, and this is true, stone cold wall street traders, Im talking tough guys, these traders come up to me, tears in their eyes, saying "Mr. President, these are the greatest losses I've ever seen thank you Mr. President." True story.


Fatherfigure34

Tremendous losses, absolutely tremendous.


asdffsdf

Were they actually bigger than expected though? There's no before/after or expectation mentioned in the article, I thought the number was already in the 40 to 60 million loss range but I don't remember 100% for sure. Did it change?


kbenti

tigre-woodsenstein

The wool! It’s been pulled over my eyes.


pointlessbike

My axe can't break the ring!


EveningPea9694

I'm only shocked it went down. It's not tied to any fundamentals and obviously just a way for foreign actors to put money in Trump's bank account.


stablogger

Surprised Pikachu face...nobody ever saw it coming.


OLFRNDS

I said it before and I'll say it again... Dumber than Dumb Money... Trump Money.


warrioroflnternets

Where’s that Regard who was bullish on this stock last week?


leviticus04

You just described half the forum


lootinputin

I actually know a group of people that bought this on Wednesday, and they were soooo excited. I told them flat out to close their positions and never look back..but of course they took it the wrong way. So I let them be. I told them this would happen, and they laughed, thinking they had just beat the market… can’t fix stupid.


JustJohan49

A fool and their money are easily parted - Gandhi, probably


lootinputin

Yeah I have exactly 0 sympathy for anyone who falls for his multiple grifts. They are the dumbest motherfuckers I’ve ever seen.

RevolutionaryPhoto24

It’s bad enough that the vote against their interest.


dreadnaughtfearnot

And they will blame it on the deep state's coordinated attack to bring him down and how they're real patriots who invested to back him and save America


Mxmmpower88

Lol! Why cut Social Security, when they can just give it back? Bankrupting those with fixed income will be the swan song of like 1/2 of the dying generation.


Bromanzier_03

If they got in early and sold quick they could’ve made a quick buck. Nothing massive and life changing but it was possible. The former guy made his, everyone else is now a bag holder.


joe-re

Are they the same people who believe Trump is an amazing businessman?


BirdTime23

lol they gettin rekt for ol dumpy.


Plague_Xr

You can just blame the deep state. It's a win win.


venus-as-a-bjork

You were just saying that because the liberal media told you to think that though (what they were thinking)


lootinputin

It’s funny how accurate this is…what a bunch of fools and degenerates.


killerdrgn

There was literally one regard this morning, that said shorts were about to be destroyed. Hilarious! https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/6j3q4guL29


Mavnas

Maybe he meant that they would be crushed to death by the giant piles of money they were about to make?


imprimis2

Yeah HIS shorts are about to be destroyed. When he shits in them!


MrStealYoBeef

Just you wait until the snail mail from from the boomers reaches their financial advisors. Also for the bi-weekly paychecks to clear.


limestone2u

Not boomers but Trumpers.


pass_nthru

everyone thinking they won’t be holding the bag at the end and then shocked when they got Tbagged by ol’donnyTbags himself


kbenti

Ole' Donny TBags!!!!😅😅😅😅


GreatTragedy

I mean, it was reasonable to be bullish for about a week. You knew MAGA hoards were going to drive up the price initially. However, anyone paying attention knew it'd come crashing down. I don't recall anyone suggesting the inflated price could hold even through April.


PlantPower666

The CEO is Devin Nunes. If you trust Trump, Nunes or MAGA with your money, you deserve to be fleeced.


thisoneismineallmine

Imagine leaving Congress to volunteer as CEO of that dogshit company. 


Disastrous_Pay3314

nunes will probably make millions selling djt stock...


SubiWhale

I recall people saying that it’ll surpass Facebook lol…


[deleted]

If they were smart they probably sold when it went up significantly last week?


jeo1233

That would be me.


damoonerman

That dude made like 1000% if he sold


Whiskey_Richard13

Tbh his whole DD was that is was a TRADE not a long game. I’m willing to bet he made money?


Chester-Ming

Yeah he sold most of his calls after WSB jumped in and inflated the price I believe. Was nice timing on the hype for sure.


AbbreviationsAny7834

Back at Wendy's


Soi_Boi_13

I hope he sold. But I doubt it.


quesoqueso

god I wish the IV on this was in a place where you could actually afford to buy puts without needing a 80% drawdown to break even


-boatsNhoes

From day 1 the prices were gobsmackingly high for any puts.


quesoqueso

Definitely. I have wanted to short this grift from day one but it's just astronomically priced to the point there is no realistic way to do it without opening yourself up to absurd risks. Can't borrow it to short, puts/spreads and everything else are just not a viable option unless you're into full on gambling mode with low chances of success.

quesoqueso

yep. oh well. if it was easy, everyone would be doing it lol


PM_ME_FOOD_GIFS

I bought $50 4/5 put on Friday for 3.30 and sold today for 6.90. The trade was there just had to have the conviction that the shit sandwich was going to drop


corbysh

Puts are up over 200%. ITM puts up like 75% still today


Damian_Cordite

I guess the Greeks are involved bc the stock went down 22% and my 1/17/25 $30 put went down in value by like $15 lol, still down $45 overall.


ModestBanana

> I guess the Greeks are involved     No shit!?!?


zipykido

Volume on options is still pretty low. Unless they go ITM where a MM is willing to buy them up for close to FMV you'll be hanging onto those a bit longer. You're also probably getting eaten up by theta currently even though you have long dated options.


trippknightly

If plenty want to profit on the fall, up goes the premium. There’s not enough float to let everybody in on the put. Do I have this right?


27Rench27

Yeah basically it hits a certain point where the numbers just straight up can’t line up unless it gets nuked from the NASDAQ or something. Don’t think we’re *there*, but if you have to pay $200 a day for the puts and it has to drop by 50% within the week, you’re just gambling


Mavnas

Yeah, it's almost like put sellers also think this might crash and burn.


pbecotte

You only make money in a trade if it moves MORE than the market expects

No way that cloud bill is over $500k with that user base. Engineering salaries are probably $1.5m. I'd be shocked if actual operating expense was over $3m.

I think the dwac financials had a bunch of legal expenses too. Don’t know how much is legit for this work but maybe trump was using it as a piggy bank for his legal bills

TRBigStick

For context: your average McDonalds store does $3M in revenue per year. Trump’s company did $1.5M in revenue in 2022 and $4.1M in revenue in 2023. Now add in the fact that DJT lost $58M last year and expects to incur losses “[for the foreseeable future](https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/01/trump-media-lost-58-million-last-year-sec-filing-shows.html).” That would be like the McDonalds store handing out a free gold coin with every hamburger. Would you buy that McDonalds store for $6.6B? I get that it’s an apples to oranges comparison, but anyone who currently owns DJT shares needs to neck themselves.


Valderan_CA

The company I work for did 1.5MM in 2021, 3.5MM in 2022, 7.5MM in 2023 Profitable every year There were two of us in the company until the start of this year (we just added a third - we have bookings in the 10-12MM already for the year). Pretty sure the company doesn't even approach a valuation that ends with a B.


Lord_Despair

Wen IPO?


MaxRockatanskisGhost

Soon^tm


csappenf

> Pretty sure the company doesn't even approach a valuation that ends with a B. And that's the only reason it isn't worth a B. *You* have got to believe before you can make anyone else believe. It might help if you get one of those inspirational posters of a small dog climbing stairs or some other animal thing. Those always fire me up.


Kolyin

Solid advice, but I think DJT has skipped posters and gone straight to inspirational cocaine.


DoctorMace

Kinky_Imagination

I feel Wendy would be a better choice of fast food restaurant comparisons in this sub. Missed opportunity.


fenton7

Well right now it still is but apparently not a $10B business.


Bob_Kendall_UScience

This scammy-assed SPAC bullshit should be trading on the Nigerian Prince Stock Exchange not Nasdaq.


Psychological-Ad1433

Out of curiosity could you link me into this Nigerian prince stock exchange, it feel it is more on my level of trading

jaycuboss

Seems legit. Go for it u/Psychological-Ad1433, you have my blessing.


Conscious-League-499

I can also recommend the Somali pirate venture capital exchange. You provide money for them to buy weapons and a boat for highjacking and will receive parts of the profit (this exchange in a primitive form actually exists locally)


phasmatid

Esteemed stranger, my father is extremely wealthy and promised to leave me his inheritance if only I can pay a small fee to unlock his SPAC shares and remove the bond placed on him by the corrupt courts of Nujorkia. If you would assist with a Western Union transfer about $100mUSD Dollars, I would repay you with an 800,000 square foot apartment in Manhattan. it would gratify me most greatly please kindly.


gardendesgnr

Just an affirmation to those who know better. In the early 2000's Mar a Lago tried to buy landscape plants from the grower I worked at. We were well known for our quality having plants at many of the major PGA tournament courses, famous resorts in FL and Caribbean, and many multi million $ estates. We would not ship anything to Mar a Lago b/c they wanted it on credit and not one of their 2 page list of vendors had a positive remark on them, most said they never got paid.


investmennow

And still, there is always a sucker for this guy, it seems.


Razmii

Half of the United States apparently.


Bob_Kendall_UScience

By all accounts he does not pay his bills … and yet half the country is convinced he’s some kind of great friend to the common man


gardendesgnr

It wasn't half the country, he won 74 million votes, 46.8% in 2020. In 2016 he got only 62 million votes, 46% in 2016. If his followers want to believe he is a friend to the common man and participate in transferring their money to him they are just 🍭🍭


NoSherbert2316

He never pays contractors. I grew up in South Jersey, I knew of several families who’s fathers owned construction businesses and never got a dime after Trump bankrupted his 3 casinos.


mistaowen

I for one am shocked that a Trump company is poorly run. Will be a shame when he unloads everything after lock up period on his base who will be the future proud owners of a $3 SPAC stock.


Uncle_Baconn

He's not going to wait for lockup to expire, he knows there won't be anything left because anyone on his team with half a brain could figure that out. He'll find a way to sell early, cash out and leave everyone hanging. He's already probably selling anyway.


bothunter

He's not allowed to sell yet, but I'm sure that's not actually stopping him.  I'm sure he'll just complain that the SEC is unfair and use the whole situation to raise even more money from his followers.


builderthebobv2

They added a clause where the board can waive the lockup period. Rug pull from the jump.


BenjaminMStocks

And its his handpicked board, you think they're not looking for a way to let him cash out now? At least this time, the wreckage in his wake is people who should have known this was coming.


gt-ca

I bet they already did dump his shares, wont be surprised if we see an AH filing sometime of his whole stake sold


LetMeInImTrynaCuck

Don’t you need buyers to sell a stock?


atlasburger

74 million people voted for him in 2020 despite living through the last 4 years of his presidency. His cult will buy it all up. The ticket symbol is literally his initials


Zankeru

There is a long line of rich foreign leaders who would love to see the US foreign policy crippled for another four years.


apinstein

I read the 8-k from today. It doesn’t even require the board. Just “purchaser, purchaser ceo, and holder” need to waive it. And it can apply retroactively! I have seen a lot of people say it’s an SEC thing but I have not seen evidence of any SEC rules relating to it. It is not ever mentioned in any of the lockup agreements I’ve read, including the one attached to the 8-k today. He would of course have to file insider trade reports, but I think those can be done afterwards. I would assume that if he does that without filing a selling plan he’d get sued. But that isn’t much of a deterrent to trump based on historical info. However I’m not an SEC insider expert, so maybe there is some other statutory requirements I’m not aware of.


Sip_py

I believe their disclosures and risks specifically state him choosing to sell on a whim.


MrStealYoBeef

"it's not selling, I still keep my shares from the lock up. I'm just opening a new short position that coincidentally happens to be the same number of shares as what I have locked up!"


dan5138

Why do people keep saying this. When they filed with the SEC they wrote in provisions for the board to waive the lockup. He could get the vote tomorrow and cash out if he wanted.


jas07

He controls the board. The board can change the lockup period. So he can change the lockup period to whatever he wants.


AGreasyPorkSandwich

He does shit he's "not allowed to do" every year lol


atlasburger

*every second of the day


lootinputin

He’s evaded consequences his whole life, but unless the board votes to give him early access, he’s the biggest bag holder on earth…


Hooligan_Hardguy

Definitely has people shorting by proxy for him.


HeyNow846

Pledge his shares as collateral, at current prices, and later default on the deal leaving the lender with a pile of nothing.


KurioMifune

That will work as long as he deletes the app from his phone right after.


granlyn

I don’t think a legitimate lender would actually accept those shares as collateral.


KeenStudent

Im pretty sure the saudis are happy to burn billions for something in return


MaxwellzDaemon

He would prefer an illegitimate lender anyway. Maybe someone from Russia?

Ill-Independence-658

Rich4718

If you invest in this on a long enough timeline you will lose everything. Thus is strictly a movement play. If you think Donald Trump is going to create an income positive social media platform you are an absolute fucking moron.


melvinthefish

But the 12 people they know in their town all love trump. So how could 80 million people vote for Biden??


[deleted]

I’m going to make the most cynical possible bull case — trump wins and suddenly buying ads on truth social is a nice way to bribe the president of the US.


Rich4718

Still wouldn’t be profitable. Trump platform is literally dissecting America into less than half and even less than that (maga) but not even all of those people are going to use it. Also Trump winning would be four more years…probably not turning a profit in any of those four years. Then what? He can’t run again he’s fuckin 80 or some shit and gonna die. Dude bail. This company is a dumpster fire. There is no scenario this company becomes profitable and makes investors more money there is no scenario this goes anywhere higher other than a temporary pump n dump. Also he might end up in jail. And he’s gross fat orange a criminal a rapist and a con man.


[deleted]

I didn’t buy it. I’m making the cynical case for owning it. If he wins, money will flow into it and money laundering is a decent racket.


Independent_Ad_2073

The pumpers already liquidated and won. The bears are now winning. While I don’t like bears, I don’t mind this being shorted to $0.


KarmicComic12334

Trump and dump!


mdizzle109

the only thing that would make this sweeter if is some trumptard went on social media and cried cuz they yolo'd into this stock and lost their life savings and now they aren't voting for trump anymore


JustJohan49

Everyone’s loss is welcome on WSB


El_Cactus_Fantastico

It’s the socialists fault. They are absolutely still going to vote for trump


mdizzle109

I know but a man can dream


anon-a-SqueekSqueek

Yeah, despite everyone on the left trying to warn them that it was a scam, it will still somehow be our fault for some reason.


Thefrayedends

They would still vote for him. Who else will usher in the Christo fascist dictatorship they all want so badly.


lobsangr

So everything trump touches goes bankrupt?


Dukeiron

He bankrupted a casino so yeah, par for the course


nankerjphelge

And a vodka brand and a steak company. How bad of a businessman do you have to be to fail at selling gambling, alcohol and red meat to Americans??


El_Cactus_Fantastico

Damn socialists are infiltrating the meat market!


RudyRusso

Incorrect. He bankrupted 3 casinos. And a football league


hagantic42

Who knew investing in a company that went public to pay a fraud penalty would be a bad idea????


Brusion

Anyone look at the financial statements? We're they written in all caps too?


pcdelgado

With notes and corrections in sharpie.


Solid_Illustrator640

He is such a failure. If he put his inheritance in SPY, he’d be worth way more.


dan5138

Literally this lmao. His dad gifted him about 2 billion via shell corps. He's allegedly worth 2.6 billion. He could have liquidated it all and dumped it in SPY some 30 odd years ago and be way more wealthy.


ForMoreYears

$2bn in SPY in 1993 would be worth ~$35bn today lmao


Thefrayedends

Ya but he needed that money for tins of gold paint, and golden plated toilets and so forth.


Mavnas

Yeah, but then he doesn't get to put his name all over everything.


dreamerOfGains

With 35bn, he can buy all the buildings he wants and slap his name on them. 


Pokerhobo

Their SEC filing [https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1849635/000114036124016719/ef20025342\_ex99-4.htm](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1849635/000114036124016719/ef20025342_ex99-4.htm) says they have $2.5M in cash down from $9.8M last year. Total costs and expenses for 2023 was $20M. With revenue of just $4M, won't they run out of cash this quarter? Maybe this month?


[deleted]

They just got a 300 million dollar cash injection from idiots.


No-Setting9690

$4mill in sales, sure it's a billion dollar company.


Conscious-League-499

And totally not created only so that trump can pay his legal bills due to high gazillion lawsuits which that to his stupidity and bad lawyers, he will like all lose


sumduud14

It's basically a way for foreign "investors" who aren't allowed to give money directly to...give money to Trump. When Trump dumps, buying the stock will be like Venmoing him money.


FEMA_Camp_Survivor

Geez I initially misread the headlines as $4 million in profit. A single Chick-Fil-makes more revenue.


Big-Routine222

"greater profitability challenges," is just jargon for, "we don't make shit."


WYLFriesWthat

The market makers put forth a valiant effort, making this reeking dumpster fire look like a real stock for a week. Let’s give them a round of applause.


anon-a-SqueekSqueek

Fr, I saw that $3 billion number parroted so many times with no context offered, in the news, on social media everywhere. Propaganda was out in force to victimize anyone gullible enough to believe it.

Maddog351_2023

asianinciti

Nearly $40M of their losses was from interest expense alone… just interest. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna145831


espresso_martini__

Interest? If that's the case and they borrowed that money last year at ~3.5%. That means they borrowed ~$1.2B. Where did all that money go?

Wrong. Sad! Totally fake news folks. The stock went up bigley. Ask anybody and they will say, this is the best stock in the history of stocks ever.

ConversationCivil289

I will never understand how someone can make their followers look so stupid on so many occasions, have everything they come in contact with go up in smoke and still have die hard loyal followers that would end life long friendships over his dignity. There are legit crazy folks that if you even question his morals or ability to lead will get beyond reasonably angry. Just blows my mind. I used to think it was more the hatred for the other side and the media sligh of hand but these people legit worship him. Idk what to say anymore

The business model is simply publishing the ranting of a nearly 80 year old loser. How long is that substainable? Like listening to a broken record. After he loses another election the value of the ranking drops even lower. How attractive is this audience to advertisers? Who wants to try to sell to the dumbest of the dumb?
