Is Investing in Trump Media Stock a Risk Worth Taking?

[Nunua Toka UK]

Trump Media is pretty much tied to Donald Trump, who owns around 57% of the company's shares. The stock's performance is heavily influenced by the former president's status.

Since it began trading on the Nasdaq on March 25, 2024, the stock has been quite volatile. On its first day on the stock market which it opened at $66.22 per share under the ticker symbol DJT. At its peak, Trump’s total wealth surged to over $8 billion.

But by the end of the lockup period on 25 September 24, the price had plummeted to as low as $12.

Things turned around when Trump told investors he had no plans to sell his shares. As a result, In less than six weeks, the sp has increased significantly even quadrupling at one stage.

Today was Election Day, and the stock shot up about 15% before taking a dive and ending up in the red territory at $34 a share.

No matter how the election pans out—whether Trump wins or loses—the future of this stock is bound to be affected. If he wins, the potential for gains could be significant. On the other hand, If he loses, his reputation will be dragged through the mud along the stock.

So, do you think it’s worth taking the risk? (This question is aimed at those open to considering the investment, regardless of their feelings about Trump.)

DJT is currently up 35% in pre-market trading. I am looking forward to see its performance during market hours.
