Decided to watch this rambling mess of a speech. What a mess!

But, by the looks of it, a lot of Republicans are having a great time.

Ad usual you have experience in everything.
You have been to the moon too?

Sat after the shooting one of my boys asked if I had bought DJT( (he can't due to his Job), thought it would go up on the goodwill. I agreed. Easy call. But missed it in after hours trading. Didn't think to short it as I generally don't short plus just wanted to make a quick turnaround.

But if you spent less time posting bullshit about a country you don't live, you might know what a short position is.
And get you some friends with money so you can talk about money.

Is Joe Biden resigning without endorsing Kamala?
He better.
Arizona has ruled voters must produce some ID. Last time they stopped counting, then Joe got a massive spike in the wee hours of the morning to take the lead.
The Marc Elias group don't want voter integrity.

Well there was a group that shorted it on Friday. Then they refiled on Monday saying it was an error.

If they shorted it friday, they would have lost money on Monday, at least Monday morning.

Joy Reid suggests the Trump assassination was staged.
Alex Jones was fined billions for a similar claim.
They should sue this bitch if there is equal justice.

I was asking would they have made money if God forbid the worst happened on Saturday?

https://finbold.com/trump-stock-shorted-heavily-day-before-assassination-attempt/

However, a fact bound to raise a few questions is that short positions against Truth Social stock doubled between July 1 and July 12, going from 7 to 15 million shares, in what was a record of shares shorted for DJT stock since its trading debut.

This surge indicates that individuals or large organizations anticipated a significant drop in the stock’s value by July 15, a scenario that would likely have materialized had President Trump died in Pennsylvania.

Dude spend some time googling Shorts.

When shorting you are gambling the price on the Stock will go lower. You are basically borrowing a stock and selling it at the current price. Fri. the price was 31.
So if the price drops to say 25. You can buy it back at the price and return the borrowed share. So, you would make $6 per share.
If Trump was shot, DJT would probably bounce in the short term (as it did now), knowing how nutty Trumpers are. It's 38. So, the person who took the short position would have lost $7 per share right now.
But they can hold on to the short position, maybe in the long term it would drop as he is the driver of the Stock. But that's a gamble.
But others may have different thesis of what would happen. I'm sure people can argue both sides.

But DJT is going to crash. It is overvalued. A short position on it is nothing out of the ordinary.

Of course there is nothing to see here with an investor shorting 12,000,000 shares on 12th July.
Then later retracts saying they filed in error.

cal club India dot com has some theory of what would have happened. , these investors also shorted rumble stocks. The bot has banned me twice after linking to that site in last few weeks.That site has crazy theories.

A history list of trades on DJT shorts is provided in this link.

Are you a fool? Don't you know that unlimited immigration improves the economy, enhances birth rates and helps society become more inclusive. It also increases the Red blood cells.
China , Japan and Korea would be third world if they didn't allow uninhibited immigrants from every corner of the earth.

This is just Trump being "Trump"... He's never gonna change to whom you liberals or media want him to be - deal with it!

The Dems are still in chaos and Biden's own personal/administrative issues and shortcomings would continue to supercede Trump's flaws.

His rally was cut short by the devil so 🤷... Besides the speech courted some moderates who have now decided to vote for Trump (per CNN) which proves its effectiveness on the counterbalance (tentacles expansion).

Trump isn't perfect but give me a break, dude almost lost his life days ago... I know you silently wished the bullet got him good but if saying his mind would help him alleviate the pain and recover from the shock then I'm all in.

Kudos for staying on the issues today and not being a cheap troll 👏

---The speech was abysmal, demented with lots of ramblings, going off scripts---talking about the same regurgitated points (can't call them policies)--from 2015, 2020 and mostly from his rallies---Nothing inspiring at all---

---Talking about Hannibal Lector (what has this fiction character got to do with important issues), China virus, immigrants taking black and latinos jobs (is he indicating that blacks and latinos are only good for menial jobs), praising Orban, Kim Jung un, talked about buying Wisconsin votes---taking the next Republican convention to Venezuela etc---

---Absolutely nothing on energy (apart from same script from yester-years "drill, baby drill"wink, economy, international relations, labor, health (we are still waiting for his fantastic blueprint to replace the Obamacare) etc---

---This is no longer the efficient and effective Republican party---but a metamorphized Trump MAGA party (a cult) with little or no policies---All we hear are the chants by his faithful followers 'fight, fight, fight' ---

Mr. Laurence. I think you're a lying troll and propagandist.
There's no way you watched that speech and wrote that nonsense.
Is that staying on topic?

There was no moderate who watched that speech and said they would vote for Trump. Period.
I watched that CNN townhall of "Undecided" voters. They weren't all undecided. The tell that some of them weren't undecided is that they gave him an "A" for the speech and then immediately after said the speech caused them to decide to vote for Trump. The speech was objectively terrible and concerning.
They were lying. Any person who gave that speech an A and then said it changed their mind is a LIAR and was already voting for Trump.
It's akin to anybody watching Biden's debate and saying it caused them to vote for Biden. They'd be lying too.

The power set a bus on fire, the police flee, there were thousands of people who rioted and the police and Co are trying to downplay the incident. Just imagine if these were done by whites protesting.

Like I said, multiculturalism is the downfall of a nation. There will be a clash soon. When I enter the UK, it's difficult to no eat hallal meat. They forced people's religious ritual on many people now without them knowing.
