I've seen Emmer's name come up, the Majority Whip. He was the #3 choice after McCarthy got booted, but Trump tweeted about him and killed his chances. I guess Emmer and Trump have since made up?

Wed for this judge is motion work and other business not involving this particular case, since he has a lot of other matters he needs to handle beyond Trump. Trial court judges end up juggling way too much work.

Even the deadest of worthless stocks don't monotonically fall to zero, BBBY had 10 dollar spikes in its price before falling completely to zero and being cancelled. It's all incredibly stupid.

This kind of pump is going to keep happening in its long slide to the bottom. The best thing to do is not think about it much, whether DJT is going up or down. Trump won't be able to make money on this because every who can trade DJT stock is robbing all of his supporters while he legally cannot move his shares (the odds that Trump is doing some illegal trading is pretty drat high and he's probably lost money on those; I base this solely on Trump being an idiot who is always trying to play a get rich quick angle and failing at it). He won't be able to do the rich person thing of borrowing against his shares to get more money because banks know that the obvious trend of this stock is to go to zero.

Basically we've got a long haul of people putting every penny they find into DJT and investors sucking it out with a straw.

Hey friend, do you like... erm... nerds? Are you tolerant to nerdposting?

The fundamental strategy of investing (excluding derivatives for this exercise) is to either own the assets or the debts of a company (or if you're smart, a risk-diversified portfolio of many). Stocks are more volatile but they trend higher so as you age and die, it makes strategic sense to increase your proportion to bonds, as the return is lesser but more secured.

In this instance, DJT is a purchase of equity in the company that has now gone public, and requires financial statements that confirm what we all know- it's Trump's shitposting app and it loses money hand over fist.

Diversification is a complex topic but at a micro level, Truth Social is undiversified because it has a single point of failure- being Trump's overdue death. At a macro level, it will lose money forever and has no chance to grow and add value to the shareholders. So it's bad as part of a portfolio, and it's bad as an individual stock. But irrational exuberance is keeping it afloat because it's being held by actors with emotional investment in its owner.

As per gibbis rules I will now bend over and let everyone form a line to kick me in the pants.
