Have you bought any of Donald Trump's stock (DJT)?

As many of you know Donald Trump's "Truth Social" merged with a shell company and went public on the the NASDAQ a couple of weeks ago. If you are a Trump supporter (or just a capitalist) did you buy some shares in the Company? It peaked at around $70/share, but is now worth less than that. Perhaps this is a buying opportunity. After reading about the company's financials, I chose not to buy any shares. Purely an investment decision, of course. Have you bought any shares? Do you know someone who has?

I wouldn´t be able to buy any shares of anything even if I wanted to. I spend all my extra wealth in chocolate cake or salami. And I bet that I´m happier than a shareholder.

@TheHorse No comments. I had to suffer my having to set the table and do other hard work when I was a child while my brother did nothing because he was a boy.

@TheHorse My identity papers say that I´m Chilean. I was too little to know of boundaries, of course. But when I have gone to Mexico city I feel perfectly at home.

Nope. I have a sweet annuity but nothing touching that slime.

@TheHorse Yes the interest rates for things like savings is amazing compared to a few years ago. We put a little into a C/D for about 5 percent interest. We'll make a nice chunk of change in about a year from that.

Heh. I am buying up fixed income funds at 5.4 percent right now with my extra cash. Nothing risky. Or political.

The stock dipped below $23 today. I am not sure "what it's at" right now.

@wolfgirl569 Anything that poor guy touches...even women...well, maybe not women...Melania is doing a good job of distancing herself from him.

Vince's superannuation is all tied up in shares. We have a financial advisor who looks after it all for us - for a fee, of course.

My financial Advisor is not very good. Fortunately, TIAA-CREF, or however it is abbreviated, has done well with the retirement money from my career in education. So I should NOT wind up under a bridge, even if I live to be 59.

@TheHorse I don't believe that! You would never end up under a bridge! (That's a joke. I know you're over 59.)

@NJChicaa A part of me wishes I had shorted it after I read about how Truth Social is doing. I think DJT dipped below $23 today.

@TheHorse Didn't it start at over $70? I'm no expert on stocks like @porwest and I don't invest in the stock market on my own but even I would have known to "short" it. #ETTD

I agree with @marguicha I spend what I can on good things to eat and sometimes to drink and would not spend it on such things,
