    It's crazy that it's that high. It should be a penny stock.

    Way overpriced. It took in $5 million on a crazy amount of expenses, with nothing to really show for those expenses. A company taking in that amount of revenue shouldn't be spending that much money without a pretty obvious exponential growth curve (which they don't have, in fact, they are shrinking in installed base) or some major R&D project that will obviously be a big deal if it hits (which they also don't have).

    I just checked my portfolio. Thanks Trump! Luckily we all saw this incompetence coming from a mile away and I loaded up on SQQQ shares

    Turns out Okee is correct only he was around eight months too early. Maybe it's just me but I don't see how it could be a boon to President Trump (and he is the president now although he was not back in August when Okee prematurely gave him the title).

    Believing Trump would be able to figure out anything economic takes a pretty high level of stupid.

    His cult is good with this.

    I wonder what formula for trade deficit they have that resulted in a trillion dollar trade deficit with China, given that total imports from China are about half of that. Maybe that will provide insights into our massive trade deficit with penguins.

    Given the Buffett hasn't tweeted in like a decade, why do you think the news source that you got that from chose to lie to you?
