Unfortunately, Trump will still likely come out much richer than he was before. It's still nice to see.

They might have forgotten the pump part.

The P/E on DWAC was so comically high. This was a company with a $7B valuation after earning, like, $3000 in a year. They were selling shares in a circa 2022 Mastadon instance that had never been upgraded. It was pure pump.

dont forget about the revenue income, they pulled in what like, a few (ten/hundred?) million of revenue in a year?

they did the pump part... They just forgot that the value was supposed to go up, it's literally schizo meme stock economics.

It will still move around a bit. This is what is referred to as “shit beta,” which is a stock that can be moved outside the reasonable boundaries of risk for the market makers, which leads to them making defensive moves that cause large price movement. Game Stop, BBBY, and NOK were other good examples of this.

i believe this is what the industry professionals refer to as a "fucky wucky" stock.
