I mean, it's more shares of DJT than had been shorted in history combined, and it was the first listed short position on it in 2 months, but I'm sure that's all just a coincidence.

So it wasn't some random idiot trying to kill literally Hitler. At least this move makes sense only if you think a big drop in value is about to happen, unless I am mistaken.

There were mysterious market moves before 9/11 as well.

And insurance. And the very punctual building owner and his wife were running late that day.

Oh i never believed it was. Well, they may have hired an idiot. But he wasn't random. They were very quick to pop him after he missed. That says it all, don't it? You sit there lookin at him in your glass as he sets up and takes the shots. Then you fire. Hmm... The snipers are incompetent, too, on top of the planners?

It could be, but that's more contrived than the "conspiracy." The simplest explanation right now is that someone put this guy up to it. That's how it always is. The Lone Wolf is a myth, probably created by the FBI who grooms most of these guys.

That guy was as much of a lone wolf as the guy arrested for trying to kidnap Whitmer. Same accomplices, too.

Dunno who's behind them so to speak, but they're relatively recent and rapidly growing. Holdings were valued at $121mil at the start of 2020. Now valued at $928mil.

In reference to the rest of the people on that page they’re a supermodel. Surround yourself with uglies to look more attractive in full effect.

I assume that they may have lost a lot of money over this? I'm not that familiar with the stock market.

Well, the part they're leaving out is that DJT ought to be a penny stock. It exists to get pumped and dumped. So people with no ulterior motive (just making money) are going to be pushing the stock around because they can and because there are simps who dump money into it stupidly. In a way, that money is just there for the taking. It will go somewhere.

All it has done from a daily perspective since February is float around. It doesn't appear to've moved on this event, which is kind of weird, but maybe it was just a 50/50 event given the outcome of failure -- an event whose good for the company weighs the same as the bad.

If they'd succeeded they'd make a lot. Failing, they may not lose much. Perhaps that's what they were counting on. So much has been going on, I don't think you can read too much into a big short, though. Not without some other evidence. This kind of stuff is common. If you were looking to make some money on DJT movement, this is a nice and volatile time for that, before and after the Rally Murder. You know DJT hasn't said much about his ear, and I appreciate that. It was an attempt on Trump, but some other people caught those bullets. What really happened was a murder and some shootings.

None of these names are on my radar. There might be another Austin Private Wealth, or it could have been a coincidence.

This is pretty suspect, but the Republican National Convention was this week too and it was the last trading day before the RNC.

And if you look at the RNC showing how leftist it can be, and Trump's shitty VP pick, it would have been a disaster if he hadn't just survived an assassination attempt like a boss.
