The #DJT #Stock from #trump has been in the range of $ 13 since the IPO on #Nasdaq (about $ 70 $ in March2024). Somehow #stock exchange courses always develop exponentially, i.e. they are practically multiplied by a #factor. If the factor is larger 1, it is #uphill, if it is less 1, it goes #downhill. In the case of DJT, one could also speak of a #halflife time. But I guess the factor will still drop by itself and #accelerate the #drawdown. A lot of #maga zombies will loose their #lifesavings.

This poor waitress I know is spending the last of her #LifeSavings on her third car in three years and I'm having the worst time trying to explain to her that used cars are so overpriced that she'd be better off buying a gold bar and renting a car because ten years from now she'd have something valuable instead of something worthless #HowToAdvise

The end is nigh. The end of the project that is.
