    Yet if the average corporate person does insider trading it comes with a prison sentence not pricing.

      It’s wild how utterly predicable this was and yet it was the chosen path.

    I still remember when Obama wearing a tan suit was controversial.

    Crazy times we live in that a president can do this.

    This creates an incentive to post things that cause high volatility (even in the downward direction) as that creates a "subscribe if you want early warning of market dips" pressure factor.

      Maybe we can keep going to a point where it's so ridiculous that people realise the financial markets are the useless money laundering loop that they actually are

    If you pay to have the info a few seconds before everyone else, does this make it insider trading?

      You don’t have the info “before everyone else”. You have it after the ones who are guaranteed to benefit from knowing it and/or from disseminating it. Whether you can benefit from it or are the mark is debatable.

    The epstein-guest-pedo-leader of the "claim-to-be-leader-nation" monetize billion in crypto, poorly chineese manufactured phone and sells access to own market-manipulation-intended-texts. It's so much bad stuff that poor people don't even know how to start battling with it...

    The music on this sinking ship will keep playing till the very end. It's a decline. There is no observable way up from this point.

    Seriously, there are no limits to his graft. This is commercialisation of insider trading. He is shameless.

      Elon Musk must be rolling in his shallow grave, out of which he climbs at night, for not thinking of this before Trump.

    Insider trading as a service. They're not even pretending not to do it, utterly shameless.

    Does anyone have a link to the source that the BBC is reporting here? I couldn’t find it anywhere online.

    Given the BBC’s misquoting of Trump on several occasions I am skeptical of their coverage and would like to see the actual announcement from Truth Social itself.

    If the actual announcement is simply a paid API offering for Truth Social, available to anyone that wants it, then it is nowhere near as nefarious as the BBC is painting it to be.
