Okay let's give some context here : As if things for $DJT couldn't get any worse : DJT’s revenue last quarter was $1.67M, while it spent $46M on operating costs and lost $238M. Now the movement is dead, and the entire business literally, very literally, ends once Trump (80) moves on. As if things couldn’t get worse, they just cleared the SEC to merge with TAE. To do it they’re issuing another ~293M shares, roughly doubling the share count and cutting current shareholders to about half the company, for a business that has generated essentially zero revenue and has burned around $1.8B. Now you may be wondering why in the world DJT severely diluting its shareholders for a zero revenue cash incinerating science project ? Such intentions or anything near it were never discussed or disclosed ever it seems very very dillutive and random.... but once you understand the literal russian state along with putins closest envoys and oligarchs were are the founders of this multi billion dollar cash incinerator it suddenly begins to make a lot more sense.

From the Lionsgate Studios $LION fiscal Q2 2027 earnings release: "Television Production segment revenue increased 56% year-over-year to $309.5 million, and segment profit increased 73% versus the prior year to $21.6 million. The results were driven by a significant increase in scripted episodic deliveries, including Power: Origins and the second seasons of The Studio and The Hunting Wives. The Company anticipates doubling scripted deliveries in fiscal 2027 relative to fiscal 2026." That last line:

That’s a good question Drew and I guess if it is certain there will be a payoff eventually with a good ROC adjusting for time value of money then no. I would lean to $MELI due to logistics being pretty certain in getting that payment, as to the TVM of money part of that equation I have no idea. I remember Wall Street got really mad at $COST due to basically this and that’s when Nomad invested. Maybe I am being too harsh. You’d do it better than me but I’ll do it if you won’t, analyzing $MELI from a Sleep Zakaria scale economies shared framework that they used on GEICO, $COST and $AMZN. I cherish your thoughts and insights so I would love those

Honestly my English and prose is sometimes poor, leading to me missing things that are frankly really important. $ARKO was a good example see comments by NA. I read all the reports and calls on $TLK for weeks I started looking 10/20 during the initial crash. I dictated key points and audited it thoroughly for days, editing it how I saw fit and removing things I didn’t like. I can find messages with time stamps to prove this. Would love your thoughts on this in terms of using AI as someone who isn’t a Warren Buffett level writer to help with the English and prose/structuring style of things. All quotes and case studies are from me. I would say it’s a good writeup I wonder if you agree?
