Trump Truth Social Media

Well the slow decline of DJT (Nasdaq) seems to have begun for real, every day the price drops a bit more.   There is no good reason to buy or to sell the stock, there will be no news until the end of July when DJT releases its first-half results.  

It is entirely possible (although unlikely) that the company's performance will improve.   Either because users feel that it is a better (or safer) platform.  Although rumours are that the idea was always to sell user data to interested third parties, so far the numbers are too small to be worth the money.  Or that there is really something behind the $100 million they have spent on a secret project (Media company???).   

DJT has a small problem, they will soon run out of cash.  They are burning it rather quickly since they made a loss of $3000 million in the first quarter.  Some of it is a book entry, but it is still real.   At their current burn rate, the company will be out of cash by the end of the year (December).

DJT expensive management team are all good friends and supporters of Donald Trump, who owns about 65% of the company.   They are ALL political operatives, so the likelihood that they know anything about new media is low.  The company has spent a bundle.

Trump's lock-in will end at the end of July (six months).   He could still generate a few hundred million by selling part of his stake...don't worry Trump will do fine out of this venture.

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...
