truth social nothing burger

True social media finally released its quarterly results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2024. The numbers were more or less in line with the revenues and losses of the previous quarter with total revenue of less than $1 million and total loss of about $16 million again, it only reflects the fact that revenues from advertising is dropping from the same period last year mainly because the revenues split had been modified after the IPO not, situation to make the company appear better before it is sold to investors. 

this all means nothing because it’s clear that true social as a platform like Twitter is not an effective tool. The company has already indicated that they wanna move into media business and that’s why they spend an awful lot of money in the first quarter for that objective in mind, maybe they will be successful in that endeavour but right now the revenues are not there and the profits are certainly not there. The stock is doing any stock with no revenues and massive losses. Do they keep on falling there has been no guidance provided by the company in terms of how things are when things will improve, which is somewhat unusual these these days but  I suspect that too much of their future earnings are based on things that they haven’t really announced yet it’s clear when this additional information will be made available but right now we have the information we have 

bottom line with these kind of results share price is still substantially too high at around $24 a share effectively. The company has about $344 million in cash and the share price should largely reflect the value of the cash at hand means that price would still have to go down about 95% to reflect that valuation $24 a share the company still worth around $4 billion which is very high. 

Overall, the reflection of political movement and desire to invest in Trump’s future rather than a real valuation for the company, which is currently run by politicians (old friends and colleagues of Donald Trump.)

what people get wrong about tariffs

 The issue is simple. What percentage of the economy is dependent on tariff goods? The truth, is that the US economy is far more closed than people understand. People genuinely believe that all manufacturing has ceased to exist in the United States all given to China on the altar of woke policy the truth can be further from That statement. Only about 15% of US GDP is related to foreign trade. Of that amount, slightly more than half is from Canada in Mexico. And half of that is energy. What that means, is that about 7% of US GDP is tariff dependent. The proof in the pudding, is how little money tariff generates. People think that 30 or 50 billion is a lot it’s not in an economy that has $3 trillion. The impact on the US economy will be less visible but not absent. Inflation hasn’t occurred yet first because tests have hardly started to bite, but more importantly it’s such a small percent of the economy. Now certain things are critical. The rare earth metals from China were critical....

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, ...

Demographics

 I am preparing a kind of family tree for our children so that they know where they came from.  In my family I am the only survivor, although my brother and sister died recently they were both in their seventies (a story I told already).    It was a fun process, but it provided more than that.  First, I married relatively young I was 26 when I married and nearly 30 when our first child was born.   I was looking at my ancestors.  On my mother's side, she had 6 siblings, Four died before the age of 30, two in war, and two from illnesses.  Only she and a single sister survived.   The two boys had a child each but they died in WWII, and the other sister died as an infant.   what is interesting is that every one of my mother's siblings had children in their early 20s.   I know that my mom was hardly 20 when my brother was born.    What is remarkable is that among our friends, we are the only ones to have fou...
