The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

it is fairly amazing how some still are incapable of realizing that trump has not monetized a dime out of his DJT 'billions'.
never believe any hype on don's income unless taxes are being skirted !

at this point, i think trump confiscating the DJT cash or getting his bond money back, has better odds for improving his liquid net worth than DJT shares.

nothing will be more publicized than trump starting to dump DJT, and i worry not a smidgen his braintrust is utilizing any basic game theory to dispose. i fully trust the business genius to go by his gut feel, but matters little regardless.

consider 2 items :
A. what % of MAGA are retail stock investors, how many have already been burned, and what is their forward appetite to 'averaging down' ?
there may be quite some willing to ride it to zero as a badge of how biden has cheated them or other inane notions. quite a few now lean to indicating this game is not for them.
once trump starts selling, how many MAGA will keep buy their orders at $30,$20,$10,$2 ? will a tsunami of new MAGA shareholders suddenly jump in as anti-momentum contrarians?
where the heck are the buyers for 10s of millions of shares going to come from? (other than the putin/saudis/yass/megadonor theories)

B. this is the dynamic opposite of slow motion court actions which hardly perturb MAGA loyalty.
liquidity can trigger exponential changes in the 'voting motion, as many meme stocks have shown. the trip down to $1 can be on any day the market doesn't like trump sales, which are still months away. even rumors of such can pull forward the weighing machine.
