Trump Media shares halted after sudden DJT stock plunge

It looks like it because the Y axis doesn't start at zero.

If it went to zero, then yes that would be a textbook example.

When we had to print stuff out it could be defended, but even then I'd like it to start at zero and show a break to jump up.

If being zoomed out to zero means it erases the change being shown, then that matters. Not zeroing the y axis can make anything look crazy.

I dunno, I'm a stats nerd, I'll rant about it every time I see it.

It's been on a run over the last month, coming off a $12/share low and screeching towards a $32/share high.

Movement like this is absurd, given the near nonexistent changes in actual business activity around the equity. Either its being pumped and dumped by speculators or used as a back door around campaign finance donations or who even knows what. But the degree to which the SEC is turning a blind eye on this nonsense is one more data point in the "Rich People Play By Different Rules" connect-the-dots game.

The amount of things happening around Trump that are "literally textbook" examples of the worst things to do and what not to do is honestly staggering.

84 million shares had traded hands by 3:18 p.m. — multiple times the company’s 30-day average trading volume

Sure looks like it.

Trump … said he wouldn't, so he probably did.

You could post this comment all day long, every day.

Nah, as much as he has it would have cratered the price, especially because everyone around him would dump immediately.

This is just someone trying to beat it, and trump is likely furious.

If he was cashing out, and he'd have pulled everything at once.

I remember reading there was a period of time where he was legally not allowed to sell his shares. Has that time elapsed?

He is an officer of the company and the majority stakeholder. He's legally required to file with the SEC. If that has happened it would be huge news on every outlet.

You’re not wrong, but a part of me can’t help but think some other bombshell is going to drop soon. If someone (or multiple someones) had enough shares to move the price in a way that resulted in a trading halt, in my mind they’re more likely insiders. Assuming that people in his orbit would 100% engage in insider trading, I’m thinking they know something that’s not public information yet.

To them, he was just vibin'! To the rest if us, sundowning.

That's OK with me. Elon losing all his money to bad investments seems like a good thing.

While we wait: 🧔🏻🎮🍋🎶
