Truth Social reaches a tricky milestone. Will Donald Trump cash out his stake?-NPR
"The stock price of Truth Social is like his crowd size," said professional investor Matthew Tuttle, in a reference to Trump's ongoing fixation with the attendance at his rallies and other campaign events.
"He's not going to want to see the stock price go down. And if he sells, it is going to do down," says Tuttle, who runs the investment firm Tuttle Capital Management, and who used to trade the Trump Media stock personally.

Note last night from Jefferies on AI energy needs.....
The International Energy Association (IEA) believes AI/datacentres will be 2.6% of global power demand by 2026 from 1.7% in 2022.
Electricity demand from data centres is, forecast to rise at around 16% CAGR, while also potentially boosting renewable deployment.
On the importance of ASML.....
Front-end leading edge equipment is therefore just as important in reducing power consumption
This is where the tools of semicap suppliers ASML and ASM International come into play.
On the one hand, ASML’s lithography machines are a key enabler of transitioning to smaller node sizes since they use a UV laser to draw the transistor’s blueprint onto a wafer.
The company has developed its tools over time to enable continuous node shrink – and therefore Moore’s Law – with their leading tool son sale today using EUV to facilitate 3nm transistor width.
They have a report entitled : Data Centers & AI: Powering the Future.
They mention a bunch of global names, most have been on a run. Copper is one area that they talk about as a need from data centers. Some of those names look a bit more interesting.
Looks interesting here, nice little double bottom.
The also mention AR as a name providing AI power generation.
AR would be more interesting if it can break above the 200 day.
If you would like a copy of the report send me a DM.
I continue to love the self defense theme........
