And I almost forgot. I mentioned this one a few months back. There is also the bribe conduit potential. What is to stop Israel, or Saudi Arabia, or Russia from buying up ad time on Truth Social? Come visit sunny Moscow the visitor's bureau says. Watch the fireworks while floating in the Dead Sea. Take a segue tour of Riyadh. You don't even need to sign up new users to make this one work.

DJT (52.9% owned by the other DJT) reported Q3 earnings yesterday. It lost $19.2 million on $1 million of revenue. That revenue is down 6% year over year. Somehow the social media outlet owned by the most prolific presidential candidate to ever use social media only sold $1 million worth of ads in the quarter (makes you wonder how the Chinese Bible business, NFT, watch, and others are going). It doesn't matter, of course, the stock is up 5% as I write. What makes DJT a $7 billion dollar company? I don't think it is the $1 million of revenue. And it certainly is not the $19 million of loses. It is obviously a meme stock. So, there is that. But also it should presumably be able to sell more ads in the next four years, too. If Trump is using it as president, don't they have to sign up more users and be able to sell more ads as a result? You can also make a case that it exists to curry favor. Maybe someone offers to monetize Trumps holdings by buying the company for $8 or $10 billion, or whatever. Or maybe someone not quite as rich buys a percent or two so they can say, "Hey, me and you Mr. President. Oh, and I have this other thing I need to talk to you about". And maybe a bunch of rich, but not dynastically rich, people follow suit pushing the stock even higher. Or maybe DJT should merge with Twitter. The Twitter transaction, in a vacuum, has not worked well for Musk. But part of that is it is no longer publicly traded. Taking Twitter private misses out on the greatest source of Musk's wealth, the ability to meme the hell out of his stock. Look at Tesla today. It is up 15% as I type. That is not based on the fundamentals. Nothing about Tesla has changed today. As a publicly traded company it would not matter what Musk paid for Twitter, because he can always sell more overpriced stock to a willing public. By merging with DJT they can take this to the moon, and not need SpaceX to do it.

I did not see a single outlet say Harris would win by a landslide. Every single media outlet I saw said it was too close to call. Which also turned out to be wrong. But that is bad data from bad polling. Not even Fox claimed Trump would win. They only made the case for him winning.

One does not mean the other

Robinhood had to freeze purchases because they did not have enough capital to post collateral with the clearing corp. That lasted 2 days during which Robinhood hit its all time high. AFTER the restriction on purchases through Robinhood was lifted the stock lost 83.5% in four days.

What false news articles?

Good question. When there are 25 events is it OK to say 100 years? I guess, but it still bothers a nerd like me. Grover Cleveland. And as long as we are talking about precision, it has been 132 years.

If anything Gamestop is an example of what happens when short selling is not present

While you tell a tidy story, that is all it is. A story to explain why an investment did not turn out the way you thought. It could be that you are just wrong. It could be that you are fooling yourself about your skill. You are proposing a radical solution to an anecdotal problem and ignoring the public benefit of short selling.

I didn't mean to shoot you, just the message.

I always find comments like "first time in 20 years" silly when an event only occurs every four years. It is playing a little fast and loose.

As long as they cannot / will not enforce the current rules, then this one needs to be on the table.

Where is there rampant market manipulation?

Banning short selling is an insanely bad idea.

Lawyer Jonathon Turley says the opposite of the Supreme Court and precedence. But, I think Trump will attempt it and then have to fight it out in the courts.

1.) I think it is a very real possibility. He said he will go back to building buildings, but I just do not see that happening for a variety of reasons (he hasn't built a building in a long long time, financing for someone facing the charges he would face may be problematic). I could see him moving to the middle east while claiming he is going there for business reasons. 2.) No

Not the most important question, but a good question none the less. I had not thought about that, but I would be very interested to see what happens. A father's love for his son. Will it be forgiveness, or tough love?

Historically, the Supreme Court has not allowed self-pardons. But, I would fully expect Trump to challenge that if elected.

I too am a moron, but a moron who has learned that the hide button can be your best friend.

Yes, his dad also specifically said there was no wrestle off.

Yeah, and he contradicts that later in the video. I know the PSU coaches preach to them to not define themselves as wrestlers since that will only last a few years. I took that as Starocci parroting that advice before he slipped later. The natty daddy necklace was sooooooo bad. And not the good kind of bad.

Biggest (>= abs5) movers in the Intermat Rankings: For NR I assumed they were previously ranked 37 as the largest value I found in the "Previous" column was 36.

you are correct. One year. He came in the year after the COVID freebie (2022).

I wonder how much weight the wrestlestat algo places on most recent results? And of course Starocci's most recent five results were low scoring, compromised knee affairs. And the two before that were injury forfeits. This seems like a place to bet the over.

His dad said he worked hard to bulk up for this year
