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!

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Farm; Half year performance

 People appear to be genuinely curious. 2024 has been a record first half for the farm.  The addition of high tunnels has greatly impacted our revenues.   While we expected Q1 profits to be higher, it really was the second quarter that produced the goods.  The terrible weather has greatly impacted the production of high-end vegetables. Energy costs are now very stable and have become a fixed variable especially now that our bio digesters are fully dialled in.   Replacing some of our pre-dryer equipment was covered under warranty, and the new equipment is far better at dealing with gas moisture, and much better steel!   Our diesel costs are what they are! Our biologist and ecologist devised a new planting plan for our high tunnels that greatly reduced pests, especially slugs.   We have seen a 90% decline in sluggs this year, resulting in better yields.   It seems that several plants act as natural repelants and if planted c...

Britain, France and Egypt

 The voters realize now that the Conservative Praty desire to return to 19th-century dominance has driven its hatred of the EU.  The voters realize now that departure from the EU has accelerated Britain's decline and may soon make it irrelevant.  At best it will have to kiss American arses to maintain its standing.  For this, the conservatives were punished.  The decline of Britain was inevitable, competition from Frankfurt and Germany in Finance was bound to grow.  The core of Europe (aka Germany) is aging quickly Macron seems to be winning his bet, the left alliance that won the legislative elections will not remain united for long, since they disagree on about everything.   The Far right though it was about to assume power is once again relegated to the back of the bus.   It may draw its own conclusions, but not all of these are good for France.  The far-right has won nearly 1/3rd of the electorate, that is not something to be ig...
