As someone who works on Wall Street. There are numerous numerous red flags happening that suggest potential extreme market manipulation by both retail and institutional investors. Classic pump and dump charting in play. Also a great way to launder money (prearranged trading - one person buys and sells through limit orders outside the spread and get filled immediately - easy anonymous transfer of wealth).
Telling is that this thing trading over 50 million share a day over the past few weeks (ie, highly liquid), yet the bid/ask spreads are typically more than a cent apart. That doesn’t happen with traditional stocks.
Last. The company has no tangible value. It’s a meme stock and its value is derived over how investors perceive his chances. If he loses, it becomes a penny stock. If he wins? To the moon, to quote Reddit wallstreetbets.
Edit to add. Post price bump if he does win, Trump is out and will unleash 50% of the float onto the public. That will cause the price to crater. Either way. Joe Schmo with his 401k solely invested in this stock on the streets. And Trump profits off their misery. Rinse repeat. Leopards ate my fucking face. Again.
Thanks for the inside perspective, had no idea about the potential laundering going on, very interesting take.
It is a true meme stock, as soon as Musk got involved it shot way up!
The 5 day is down -35% at $34.89 though, and that's after a +12% rise today (some wild swings going on here!)
ParaDime77 getting in <$20 and out $46 is super awesome!!
