Overlooked some weeks ago - hilarious comment on Truth Social

Some weeks ago Truth Social had to face crumbling stock prices already.

The CEO of Truth Social is called Devin Nunes. He tried to blame short sellers while complaining in a letter to the Nasdaq. One of the bigger traders of DJT stocks was/is Citadel Securities.

Citadel shared a response on the accusation by Nunes:

"Devin Nunes is the proverbial loser who tries to blame ‘naked short selling’ for his falling stock price. Nunes is exactly the type of person Donald Trump would have fired on The Apprentice," a spokesperson for Citadel responded.

:)

As for the stock: You know what wise stock brokers say… Never catch a falling knife!

Just in time for the US Mass Shooting Season and Gun Insanity.

U.S. Supreme Court Reverses Federal Ban on Deadly Firearm Bump Stock Devices.

These are devices that allow semi-automatic guns to fire at speeds close to those of a machine gun.
- The ban was put in place after the device was used in the Las Vegas Mass Shooting seven years ago that killed 60 people and close to 500 were wounded at a country music show. It was the most deadly Mass Shooting in America. The U.S. Supreme Court repealed the ruling, saying the federal agency that regulates firearms overstepped its authority when it banned bump stocks a year after that shooting in Las Vegas.

How our #financial #system works and the #redistribution

An investor suddenly appeared in a small Spanish town and rented a huge warehouse. He then announced that he would pay €10 for every cat that was brought to him. The inhabitants could hardly believe their ears, as the town was full of wild cats, but some went on the hunt and brought cats. They received their money. Word spread quickly and the warehouse was half full of cats. After a while, there were hardly any cats left in the village. Then the investor announced that from now on he would pay €20 per every additional cat. People hunted in the surrounding area and in neighboring villages and they received their money. There were hardly any cats left in the whole area except in the warehouse, which was well stocked. Now the investor has announced that each additional cat would be worth €50 to him from now on. However, he would now travel to the capital for his business and his managing director would look after the warehouse. When he returned in a week’s time, he would pay for all the cats. No sooner said than done. As soon as the investor had left, the manager told the people that they could buy cats from the warehouse for €45. They could then sell them back to the investor later for €50. People scraped together all their savings and some even went into debt. Everyone bought as many cats as they could. The more cats you owned, the higher the expected profit. Within a few days, the warehouse was completely empty and the managing director had made a handsome sum. Now everyone was waiting for the investor to return. But he never came and the managing director had also disappeared. You will have guessed it by now, the investor never returned and the entire region had to suffer under a heavy burden of debt from then on.

This is exactly how the #stock #market works.

Au-delà du débat sur le nucléaire, un angle mort : la crise de l'uranium
https://elucid.media/environnement/debat-nucleaire-angle-mort-crise-uranium
En somme, cet argument des stocks d’uranium qui nous garderaient de ressentir toute contrainte sur nos approvisionnements relève d’une réelle paresse intellectuelle : l’existence de stocks important dans l’industrie nucléaire témoigne moins de sa prévoyance supérieure aux autres secteurs énergétiques que d'une absolue nécessité de produire en temps et en heure le combustible utile au fonctionnement du parc. Pour autant, cet argument est dressé de manière réflexive par la filière, tel un bouclier pour conserver le statu quo. Or, c’est bien cet immobilisme stratégique qui nous condamne à brève échéance et non « l’action secrète de groupe de pression écologistes antinucléaires à la solde de l’Allemagne », comme certains voudraient nous le faire croire.

#TruthSocial faces harsh reality as a public #company

source: https://www.axios.com/2024/03/27/truth-social-stock-facebook-twitter-ipo

Truth Social — the #Trump - owned social #media platform that started trading yesterday — currently has far fewer users and less income than any social #network that has gone public before.

For now, Truth is trading like a #meme #stock, meaning its market value is completely divorced from its financial reality.

There are no cats in America!

Remember "Fevel goese to #America" , the song stayed in my mind as watching #propaganda and warmongering posts, videos, TV shows and movies repeat the same thing again and again.

"power USA stands for àfreedom" and war is good, for your #stock portfolio, for your #retirement, for your way of life.

Here are a few of the most obvious ones from Jeff #Bezos #WashingtonPost.

Pelosi has landed in Taiwan

China Vows to Launch ‘Targeted Military Actions’ as Pelosi Arrives in Taiwan

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday landed in Taiwan.

People in Taiwan protested Pelosi’s visit.

Pelosi had to get the media off her back for her #family’s #illegal #stock purchases — so she decided to fly to Taiwan.

China had issued multiple threats related to the trip, prompting Taiwan to call back soldiers that were on leave and begin preparing them for a potential war with the Chinese Communist Party.

“We would like to tell the United States once again that China is standing by, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army will never sit idly by, and China will take resolute responses and strong countermeasures to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said during a daily press briefing prior to her arrival, according to a report from CBS News."

"China’s military vowed to launch ‘targeted military actions’ in response to Pelosi’s Taiwan visit.

“The Chinese People’s Liberation Army is on high alert and will launch a series of targeted military operations to counter this, resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and resolutely thwart external interference and ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist attempts,” PLA spokesman Wu Qian said in a statement condemning the visit, according to Insider."

#Musk sells #Tesla shares ...

If Musk had sold shares just like that, the headline would probably be "Is Elon losing faith in his company?", and if his fans believed that, the #stock price would really be in the basement.
So there is only a small setback, you can see that the bottom line is that the share ownership is getting bigger, and maybe even a few followers believe that the sale is about #tax #justice.

#ElonMusk just tweeted under @elonmusk:

Much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance, so I propose selling 10% of my #Tesla #stock.
Do you support this?
