DJT down over 9% before the bell

Messages on chat boards are spiking through the roof.

On edit: my 401K is now a 200.5K.

On edit: of course I don’t own a single share of this disaster, but my instinct in the beginning was to short it. However, with my luck, it would’ve gone through the roof.

1. How much does tsf still hold?

2. Liberation!

Oh Donald, you are so very stupid.

3. Why do we have to wait until 4 PM to be liberated? Hmmm...

4. The arrival of 9% Unemployment

later this year?, or definitely early next year?

That number should get Speaker Johnson's attention, even if it's in the middle of one of his son vs dad masturbation sessions.

5. It's down 200 points just before opening.

Let's do the math. 200 is what percent of 41,786. Pretty sure it's not 9 percent.

My wonderful financial guy has moved most of my money into bond funds, and my net worth continues to increase even as I take out four percent a year.

6. He's referring to Trump Media (DJT) not the Dow Jones

.

7. I think the OP is referring to Trump Media stock, not the Dow as a whole

The ticker symbol for Trump Media is DJT.
It currently is down around $1.24, or 6.12%

It is still higher than its 52 week low of around $11.75, but a lot lower than its 52 week high of over $56. It's been floating around $20, give or take, for most of the past month.

9. DJT not DJI..

Stock symbols are very important.

If the Dow was down 9% it’d be blaring on every media outlet like it was 9/11.

10. Aren't there controls that halt trading

If the losses hit some benchmark?

[PCIntern]

11. Yes...

We shall see!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. I believe those controls only apply to

the Dow as a whole. I'm pretty sure they don't stop trading on just one stock, regardless of how badly its tanking.

Okay, so just type in "how often has stock trading been suspended". Not very often.

8. The Great Trump Economic Disaster continues

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. Okay, so one particular company is down.

Big whoop.

And even if 100% of your investments were in that one stock, it being down nine percent won't result in your losing half your net worth.

[PCIntern]

14. Ummm...

Yeah. Ok. Gee, whose company might this be? Hmmm.

[Frasier Balzov]

13. The market can see a big Trump dump ahead.

[BoRaGard]

16. G.O.P. is fully responible

this is on the gop

[Emile]

17. Way too much volatility.
