Who could stop Janeway from field commissioning him?

Even worse than it being wrong, is that by nature of the tool it looks right.

In a speculative market, which is the reality in which we both exist, share value can absolutely be divorced from a balance sheet. As you've pointed out, that is the case here.

So what is the speculative value to an investor? Why ISN'T it zero?

If you have a theory better than "investors believe he'll use his position as president to increase the value of his own holdings if he wins" I'd be curious to hear it.

Maybe it's by making presidential decisions contingent on "friendly actions" like buying shares if you're a foreign nation or even a domestic interest. Maybe he'll award government communication contracts.

Super interested in an alternative explanation, though.

Oh for sure. It's effectively been a proxy for election betting since it's inception. Investors know if he wins it's a vehicle for people to buy his favour by adding demand pressure. As long as Trump thinks he might win, he has to keep his position.

I'm all for dunking on Trump, but you (or anyone here) should read the article.

It didn't trigger because the price was tanking. It triggered because it was going up too fast.

It was on news of Trump saying he wasn't going to sell.

As a non-US person, it blows my fucking mind how frequently y'all haul out a goddamn Ouija board to channel the founding fathers on any issue. What would George Washington think about ChatGPT? Uh probably that it comes out of a box possessed by the a demon and then he'd ask if you owned a comfort girl he could borrow for the night? What a valuable exercise. Much wow.

Chatgpt told me 188 but then admitted it was 120 after I bullied it and then landed on 95

Edit:

Great news gamers, chatgpt just explained why despite a net loss in 2023 the industry is expected to turn a profit by 2029
