    Rhea was supposed to get a new SyFy series Vince Gilligan created especially for her. Supposedly Apple TV+ agreed to order two seasons of it.

    Like I said, someone came in and rescued it, now folks feel safe in jumping in because it’s supported.
    But anyone who thinks buying a stock trading at 1000 times earnings is smart long term just because it has the orange one’s name on it is a fool.
    Eventually fundamentals will win, they pretty much always do. And when they do, fair value, even treating it like a hot growth stock, is maybe 2 dollars a share. Trump, as always will likely have gotten clear by then and all his rubes will be left holding the bag. And they will do it again next time he asks.

    DJT wants the US House in investigate 8 companies that engaged in short selling the stock... that would be a first, right? I can't recall the House ever getting involved in "investigating" if short selling a shit stock with terrible metrics was a proper strategy. It's ridiculous all around because CEO Nunes cites "protecting" Trump's investors as the reason for the investigation. Maybe people shouldn't be protected from bad investments. That's kind of Nunes' job as CEO anyway, and the best way he can "protect" his investors is to make lots of money and burn the short sellers. He should worry about doing that, instead.

    Scare tactic to try and prevent other short-sellers to prop up the price of their sham company.

    Another demonstration that Donald Trump is the greatest con artist in history. Hopefully he won't be able to con his way to the presidency again although that remains a real possibility.

    Reality is most likely that the company sought out a fraudulent auditor, but I'm sure we'll hear that the company was an innocent victim that was completely blindsided by this development.

    At some point the defense of "we were just relying on our hired experts" has to lose credibility when you keep hiring experts who have no credibility themselves.

    @philnotfil was on top of this one several days ago ... I'm guessing all the fake names were to give the appearance that it was a legit company with several workers.

    Well. That escalated quickly.


    Trump’s Truth Social media company posts $327m first-quarter loss | Donald Trump | The Guardian


    Trump Media and Technology Group, the owner of Donald Trump’s social networking site Truth Social, lost more than $300m last quarter, according to its first earnings report as a publicly traded company.

    For the three-month period that ended 31 March, the company posted a loss of $327.6m, which it said included $311m in non-cash expenses related to its merger with a company called Digital World, which was essentially a pile of cash looking for a target to merge with.

    It’s an example of a special purpose acquisition company, or Spac, which can give young companies quicker and easier routes to getting their shares trading publicly.

    A year earlier, Trump Media posted a loss of $210,300.

    They posted a 327 million dollar loss today against 770k in revenue.
    And it’s valued at 6 billion dollars.
    Seems legit.

    Really? Not even a million in revenue? I think they reported 4 million last quarter, so it's dropped by about 80%? How this stock isn't 2 cents is beyond comprehension.
