dude unless you have proof don't even start that poo poo here. i'm tired of it. there's no way Trump would ever call you, are you a politician or a rich person or anyone Trump would have even a remote interest in? Trump is only going to call people to get money out of them cos that's all he cares about. he doesn't give a poo poo (pun intended!) about anything else, and he certainly isn't taking anyone else's poo poo (pun intended!). If you look at his history, he's a known narcissist who only delights in making himself richer while others suffer.

and LEAVE HAL OUT OF THIS! this is just beyond the pale, the guy needs a break, he's not in the shadows doing anything. the next thing you're gonna say is that Hal is part of the deepstate, do you hear how stupid you sound?

hal is absolutely part of ghe deepstate

Okay so for anyone who doesn't understand how this stock market works and market cap, evaluations etc.

So I'm sitting here on my couch, I've decided that I'm starting a company and I have a million shares of it. If one of you idiots buys one share off of me for $100, congratulations I know have a hundred million market cap.

Technically true, but not all that relevant here. 49 million shares of DJT changed hands today, making it the eighth most active NASDAQ stock by share volume.

ngl I sometimes wish I'd bought 100 bitcoins back when SA was first making fun of it.

but between then and now there was a good chance i'd either
- sell it way too early
- lose the wallet info
- have it stolen by russians or the exchange itself
- be kidnapped and tortured for it
- somehow cash out and become an enormous bluecheck rear end in a top hat always falling for NFTs etc

hindsight 20/20, past results not indicative future performance, etc.

could say the same about tesla, gamespot, etc., many other stocks that have ludicrous valuations not tied to actual fundamental value. i held dwac briefly back in 2021 when the memery first began

thanks to the thread, bought 775 shares this morning at 12.91. now i'm wondering if i want to see if i can double up or just bail now...

Right now it is volatile because it is volatile, day traders, market frontrunners and algorithms loving love a volatile stock, you can quickly buy and sell swings which causes swings that self-reinforce. Until they don't. There is no floor to DJT, the company is worthless, eventually the game is over and the same forces that caused the swings become massive self reinforced panic selling since nobody wants to be left holding the bag. This can happen shockingly quickly, with no fundamentals backing the stock, it can completely collapse to a few dollars as quickly as the circuit breakers let it, which is why the circuit breakers exist in the first place.

cant believe im saying this about a 3o post but this is the first sane stock market post ive seen itt. everyone should stop following the stock. the stock market is scary and confusing

I figure a not-insignificant number of people buy mid-grade because it feels like it would be a better gas than regular but would not splurge on premium. When you factor in the scale that people buy gas, even a couple of dollars on each fill-up would really add up.

Also, if I didn't have a conscience I would start a company selling premium electricity service optimized for EVs.

mid grade can be advantageous in engines tuned for 87 at different altitudes or in badly worn/aged engines

that said, most modern engines dont need it due to the ability to pull/have variable timing, knock sensors, etc.

Literally during the initial weeks of the pandemic when hardly anyone was leaving their homes. A barrel of oil had negative value on the commodities markets. :lol:

4 years ago, gas was cheap as poo poo, but everything was closed, people were afraid of catching a deadly airborne virus, and hospitals were overrun to the point where if you had a heart attack, were in a car accident, or got shot, you were probably going to die.

But what do we have to lose, right?

it was epic because i got to stay home and play games with my friends all day :sigh:

89 octane gas exists for the same reason that medium buckets of popcorn exist at a movie theater. It's called the decoy effect and it allows them to sell more 91 octane at a higher cost

Revenues declined quarter over quarter. This is not a growth stock.

"growth" i nthis context refers to userbase, ie, a potential pool of customers that can later be exploited for revenue. its really stupid that things have become this way but its a fairly standard metric when evaluating an app startup

russias military is large but pathetic. but they are getting a ton of conventional warfighting experience in ukraine. but their junior officer and nco corps is paying dearly for that experience. france is probably the strongest nation in europe, then a toss up between russia and the uk. the uk may not even be in the top 10 worldwide

With DJT stock there's also a non-zero possibility that say the Saudi sovereign wealth fund or some other nefarious player decides Trump has enough of a shot at retaking the presidency to be worth massively bribing investing in to secure future influence.

It's probably not likely but I sure as hell wouldn't risk shorting DJT.

thats not how any of this works
