Re: Trump "Media"--I need this guy for On the Offense!

I've been following this story but never saw the revenue and profit numbers before. Staggering. We should short DJT.

It's quite a heist. S Bankman-Fried will be wondering where he went wrong...

Who is this DJT guy…he's apparently smarter than Rory Brown ha ha (who is my actual guest April 11 for the actual OTO and who is also on this string with compliments).

 

End of the week somehow The Moron owns 60% of DJT (it went "public" on Monday via a SPAC).  My guess is that since the banks shut him down, one of his family said "have you heard of this SPAC thing?  They seem to be throwing money in the toilet.  Try that, Dad?"

 

Sure enough--$300 million "cash infusion."  Who needs JP Morgan when there are performing poodles like these guys!

 

Donald's share, at the market valuation this morning, is $5.2 billion.  Under SEC insider trading rules, he can't cash out for 6 months (this six month holding period is the basis of one of BVR's key data products—it was shortened from two years a bunch of years ago to help greedy financial guys pass the risk of below-target enterprises on to their unknowing shareholders before the 2nd quarterly report is released—which is how it's used generally.  BVR can't include those transactions in our data set because they are obviously tainted.  Or, as our valuation experts say, "this is not an arms' length transaction."). 

 

Fortunately for Donald, the SEC graciously lets boards waive the holding period.  Guess who's on DJT's board??? Very very gross human beings, including some genetic relatives.

 

So…we're all publishing types…DJT's REVENUES for the last 9 months—guess?  Here's a clue…BVR's around $6 million.  A: $3.4 million!!!!

 

DJT's profits for the first nine months of the year?  Here's a clue…BVR is around $200,000.  A: Negative $49 million.

 

Market cap?  $9 billion.  I'm the chair of CCC, as you know.  At this multiple of revenues, CCC would be six times bigger than Google! About the same as Facebook, Amazon, and Apple combined, if you multiply their total market caps by 2.

 

I have no words for this that don't refer to sexual acts…but I'll file this message in my "late state capitalism" collection.

Meet my friend, the mediocre hedge fund manager

-
There is no such thing as smart money.   Yet, when was the last time you heard some one described as a "below-average hedge fund manager?" Probably never. Or a "mediocre physicist?" That's because these two professions seem mystical to people who don't stop to question that at least half of the hedge fund managers--and physicists-- graduated in the bottom 50% of their university peer group. Yet look at the HFRI Equity Hedge Index compared to investing in a no-fee indexed S&P fund since 1996--the last 20 years.   (Note:   you've been screwed in either case so don't hold your breath).  Yes, all those wicked smart hedge fund guys (remember their nice suits from back in the late 90's?) rocked along at 13% annual returns from '96 til early '00.   So did the S&P. Since then it's been a negative shithouse for the guys who get their drawn portraits published in the WSJ.   Between ''08 and '13 a dollar invested i...

Sharing my ex-wife’s group holiday greeting

-
There are many things I loved about my ex. This journal entry is about why I think she's an asshole. I was having a relatively OK day today. Goodbye 2024 which as been a bear. Hello 2025. Maybe my PTSD and depression symptoms will abate as I begin another loop of our solar system.  Then—My realtor sent an update about why my ex-home in NYC hasn't sold. Since I co-own this cash nightmare with my ex, we're on the message together. Mina respounds "thanks. Best wishes to all of you for 2025. A sweetheart! A clever and insightful writer and communicator.  A life coach to the masses. Someone whose messaging would have more sincerity if she ran her prompts through ChatGPT first.  I am not your realtor. I do not work for you and I no longer care if you stand up or fall down. I unblock you for a few days and I get your sick performative pablum. You are a problem for me—an obstacle to my own success in life. Just as you have been for so many others.  Here’s how you gro...

30 day warning: you don’t embarrass a mobster

-
We just witnessed Zelensky embarrassing Trump and that other mongrel. Thanks to Trump's 4year old ego, he demanded that he be on TV so he could film himself being a schoolyard bully. Instead, at least he didn't wet his pants. 30 days. Trump's first political assassination. Here we go. Shit gets real now. Trump and Vance should have worn Snuggies. Stay in your cribs, children. Let mommy take care of this.  The US destroyed Poland to appease Stalin. Trump and Vance don’t know that they just repeated the most repulsive part of FDR’s tenure. Who would do business with the US?  We’re led by a mobster and a crook who never pays his bills. Rudy Giuliani did business with Trump. Zelensky is only trying to avoid the same outcome for his people.  With friends like the US, no one needs enemies. We’re a full-service lethal force provider!  I send my respect to Zelensky and his violated and betrayed citizens. You have clarified in a way no one before you has had the courage t...
