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!

Ok so I lied...a little (revised)

When we began looking at farming in 2013/14 as something we both wanted to do as a "second career" we invested time and money to understand what sector of farming was profitable.  A few things emerged, First, high-quality, source-proven, organic farm products consistently have much higher profit margins.  Secondly, transformation accounted for nearly 80% of total profits, and production and distribution accounted for 20% of profits: Farmers and retailers have low profit margins and the middle bits make all the money. A profitable farm operation needs to be involved in the transformation of its produce.  The low-hanging fruits: cheese and butter.  Milk, generates a profit margin of 5% to 8%, depending on milk quality.  Transformed into cheese and butter, and the profit margin rises to 40% (Taking into account all costs).  Second:  20% of a steer carcass is ground beef quality.  The price is low, because (a) a high percentage of the carcass, and (b)...

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 ...

Janet Yellen from China supporter to Hawk...

There is rarely serious news in the world these days, it seems that most newspapers are filled with headlines and little else, and then Ms Yellen went to China.  Secretary Yellen has long been known in the Biden administration as the voice of moderation when dealing with China, yet as her trip which concluded yesterday a hawk was born:  She warned the Chinese against dumping goods in the United States.    fighting words! The American administration is very concerned about the lack of Chinese domestic consumption.   Even before the COVID-19 epidemic, there were already the beginning signs of a slowdown, automobile sales were off.   China is facing domestic deflation (a clear sign of collapsing demand) China imports few consumer goods, they import raw materials and intermediary goods.   It seems that the American administration is concerned that the Chinese administration will dump consumer goods abroad to keep its manufacturing machinery ...
