☆ Trump Media shares drop below $30, company sheds more than half of market cap since trading debut
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-12 | by ( Dan Mangan | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The price of Trump Media shares fell below $30 in early trading Friday morning, which is more than $40 lower than what its shares first sold for when the social media company began public trading on March 26. The shares of Trump Media, which owns the Truth Social app, have dropped by more than 47% month-to-date, wiping out billions of dollars in the company's market capitalization. Trump Media last year had revenue of just $4.1 million, and reported a net loss of $58 million. A week ago, traders who wanted short Trump Media shares had to pay up to 900% in annual financing costs, meaning they would need a then-$30-per share drop within a month to break even on their trade, Dusaniwsky said. Since then, however, financing costs for short trades in Trump Media had sharply fallen, to 200%.

Read previewRussia has been pounding Ukraine's second largest city with strikes, intensifying its missile, drone, and glide bomb attacks on Kharkiv in recent weeks. The situation is dire, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said, and highlights the desperate need for more air-defense systems to keep Ukraine protected. On the heels of the attacks, Zelenskyy said the "situation in Kharkiv is very harsh," noting that "Russians began using guided aerial bombs against the city almost daily." And from March 18-24, just a six-day period, Russia dropped a staggering 700 glide bombs on Ukraine. Speaking about the Patriots on Saturday, Zelenskyy said that "there are air defense systems around the world that can help.

☆ Trump Media is the most expensive U.S. stock to short — by far
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-03 | by ( Dan Mangan | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

Trump Media, which began being publicly traded last week, is now far and away the most expensive U.S. stock to sell short, according to S3 Partners , a leading financial data marketplace platform. You need a lot of cash — and guts — to short Trump Media stock right now. "It's the most expensive stock borrow," Dusaniwsky said of Trump Media. As of Wednesday, the short interest in Trump Media — or value of shares borrowed for short trades — was about $255 million. The investors who are able to borrow shares from their brokers for a Trump Media short sale are "good customers" of those brokers, he said.

Moscow launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure Friday, with a mass barrage of 99 drones and missiles hitting regions across the country, Ukraine's armed forces said. Ukraine's state-owned grid operator, Ukrenergo, said Friday's attack deliberately targeted thermal and hydroelectric power plants across central and western regions. Five people, including a 5-year-old girl, were wounded during the attack in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, said local Gov. He later said that another man had been killed and one more injured in a separate drone attack Friday. Vyacheslav Gladkov later said on social media that one man had died as the result of a separate drone attack which struck an apartment block.

☆ Trump Media is a risky bet, whether you love it or hate it

Those who have already swallowed the high borrowing costs to short Trump Media are getting hosed. But if the stock price keeps going up, there’s no limit to the amount you’d have to pay to replace the borrowed shares. “But…long shareholders have a much different and much more positive view” on Trump Media. Bottom line: Trump Media, trading under the ticker DJT, is a classic meme stock (if “classic” can apply to a three-year-old concept). Whether you’re going short or long, “think of that as you’re making a political statement,” said Laurence White, an economics professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business.

In other words: It seems like a perfect candidate for short sellers — investors who bet that a company's stock price is overvalued and will fall.

The Ukrainian air defense is working “at the edge of its capacity,” Oleksiy Melnyk, co-director of international security programs at the Kyiv-based Razumkov Center think tank, told CNN.
