    And it is getting Political with comments.

    LOLmost of gaps were bid\ ask\going down;
    but when + if they keep closing the bid\ ask spread'.........................................
    $9.99 to $99 ATH area, may trade it some more with bid\ ask of 00.20.especially if it can stay above $50.555 or $49.999 or $4.999..........................................
    I Know IBD warned dont quibble about a quarter LOL bid\ ask\ but that rule was-is actually from the OLD fraction 00.25 spread daysLOL
    I like to bear profit off SH , some times SPXU or spxs, not single stock.
    I consider that dishonest when C[citigroup] attemps to hide its penny stock price area of 61.666[reverse split ten times=$6.1666]
    Fine /DJT up Well from $9.99/on the charts:D:D

  5. It's clearly a giant scam and tops my overvalued shit list, but I still have to follow a process consistent with good risk management. In the past I would have been scalping stocks like this one, but no more. Tape reading has become basically impossible to me since late 2021 so I didn't trade the stock at all today. In fact, I've been completely avoiding IPO's altogether. When stocks become too many sigmas away I leave them alone due to halting risk. Given that this is the ultimate meme and not your random flavor of the week pump I plan to be extra careful and it's possible I miss the trade altogether. I will pay attention to how the chart develops and when the lockup period ends. However, there's a lot at play and if he remains locked up for the next 6 months, he might not want to start selling until after the election as dumping it right before then could damage him politically.

    With puts being so expensive (Jan 70P was ~50 today when the stock was 72), is it possible Trump has someone buying puts and selling calls since he can't unload his 80M shares for 6 months?
    Similar to what Mark Cuban did when he received Yahoo shares?
    Options volume doesn't seem that crazy but could this be a multi-week attempt to protect part of his billions?

    This didn't age well. Too many haters for this to ever be true on ET.

    Q.E.D.

    Maybe a more profitable route ..
    If possible, take delivery of many 1-share physical stock certificates for DJT stock.

    Regardless what happens to the Duck -- even if convicted, maybe more so -- the
    certificates likely will be a valuable collectable.

    To reduce the cost of current $ 6500 + @ 100 x 1-share certificates, sell a call.

    Might be more profitable in few years, than shorting outright, and/or going long.

    To be led by a coward
    is to be controlled
    by all that the coward fears.

    To be led by a fool
    is to be led
    by the opportunists
    who control the fool.

    To be led by a thief
    is to offer up
    your most precious treasures
    to be stolen.

    To be led by a liar
    is to ask
    to be told lies.

    To be led by a tyrant
    is to sell yourself
    and those you love
    into slavery.”
