Trump Media -- 20% rise

 Looking at DJT price last week, my first thought was that the stock could go one of two ways, break the $23 floor that was set in April or rise to around $30-35.  This had nothing to do with the underlying value of the stock, the stock right now is an expensive option.   Right now the company's business has no value, it generates losses and revenues are down in the last quarter.   However, the company is spending a lot of money ($100 million) on some kind of secret project.   At this rate, the entire amount of free cash will be gone by the end of the year.   

Chart followers who care about this stuff, know there's a hard floor on the stock of $22.85, volume over the past three weeks has fallen as the short positions are liquidated (covered or otherwise).  The bottom line is, that low volume does present an opportunity for chart follows (they have all kinds of strategies...).   So Monday the stock price rose by about 20%, with 10x the volume of last week.   

The only announcement was that DJT exercises for about $60 million in new warrants which will raise its cash reserves from $200 million to $260 million.    

Does it mean anything?  No, it means nothing about the company.   The one surprise is the issue of warrants, considering that the price of the stock is rather low.   However, it is what it is.

NOTE:   This is not a recommendation to actively buy or sell shares of the company.   This is still a very volatile stock.  There are about 180 million shares outstanding, and 130 million are restricted, so there are about 40-50 million shares that can be traded, and Monday 22 million shares were traded, last week the daily average was 10 million (average of 2.3 million for the two months prior).   That means that the current hold period (yesterday) for DJT is down to 2 days from 5 days last week.  This is a pro-market.  Not for the faint of heart!

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
