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.

i suggest you run a reverse-DCF and check your slope on the growth and profit trajectory for the pre-election timeframe, or any timeframe, you propose.
if your model is more qualitative, such as economic translations of subscriber growth and\or meme spikes, cannot help there.

WHAT'S PAST IS PROLOGUE

~2 decades ago, don also had a stock with the same ticker DJT.
it was teen supermodel ivanka that discovered an article denigrating the trump business viability by a group of successful shorts...but the article kind of made sense to her. so eventually, don invited them to meet with him and the CEO.

in his days before being a global threat, don could turn on the charm. some have noted he could have lived a long happy(?) life as a small-time grifter, as many others have throughout the great american experiment in capitalism.
although more focused on his rivals than his business, don talked the guests into closing their shorts at a very good, but not gigantic profit.

DJT, aka Trump casinos, went on to multiple bankruptcies, but leaving the conman intact to soon play another day. ...and another...
the fascinating story is on motley fool :
