Put a good chunk of cash into a 1-year JPMorgan Chase CD at 5.5%. The cash was making 5.17% in the Schwab MM so a small upgrade. Yes, it's callable, but good for at least 6 months.
Put a little play money into COM (DIREXION AUSPICE BRD CMDT STRG ETF). I've held it in the past and it's a fairly conservative play on commodities. May be a little late but hopefully it could last a while longer.

Down another 3% after hours- brings today to -22%. Now $25 and change. My oh my.

Nasdaq HQ in Times Square is real.

-17% today as of 2:50 PM.
Genius at work.

Wasn't it "Super Genius"? No, wait - that's Wile E. Coyote. Ah, yes, he is the self-proclaimed "stable genius".
Next stop - $18.
Can he also lead an insurrection to the Nasdaq exchange - is there an official Nasdaq office building?

From Investor's Business Daily-

Well, that didn't take long. Investors already lost $5.3 billion on shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) — with Donald Trump himself eating most of the losses.
Shares of the money-losing holding company plummeted 59% from their high notched on March 27, erasing $5.3 billion in wealth, says an Investor's Business Daily analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence and MarketSurge. The S&P 500 in that time is only down 2.4%. Just Monday, shares of Trump Media & Technology plunged more than 10%. *

* Make that "plunged more than 18%" as of this minute.
Well, at least all of this may serve to take Trump's mind off of the jury selection as he sits there...

-17% today as of 2:50 PM.
Genius at work.

"It'll still go to $1000..."
"I keep buying but it still goes down...."
- some of his rubes

-17% today as of 2:50 PM.

Great! If that's true and he times it in his always perfect ways maybe he'll be able to add another felony to his list.
"Under federal law, the crime of Securities Fraud is a Class C felony, punishable by up to twenty years in prison, three years of supervised release, and $5 million in fines."

BOOM.
Buried deep in the prospectus, in the list of 'Selling Shareholders' Donald J. Trump​ is listed as making 114,750,000 shares available under this offering at that insanely-deflated strike price. We all knew it was a matter of time before he would try and dump his shares to raise cash.
I wonder how many other shares he might indirectly hold thru some of the entities listed there as well.

options/warrants typically have exercise prices ABOVE the current prices
Typically, one expects a stock's price to increase.
Historical prices for DJTWW (warrants).
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/DJTWW/history
The prices seem to be moving in the "wrong" direction. It may not be long before the market considers the warrants to be worth less than $11.50. That is, the market may soon conclude that buying and exercising a warrant will get you a share of DJT worth less than $11.50 under the terms of the warrant.
(I haven't read the doc closely for terms and conditions.)

And the hits just keep on a coming. Article
You've got to get the money from somewhere.

DJT secondary filed for 146,108,680 shares of common stock and 4,061,251 Warrants (exercisable at $11.50; STRANGE, as options/warrants typically have exercise prices ABOVE the current prices).

That smells fishy to me ... I don't remember seeing this happen before, and you're right in how you described it. Frankly, it makes me think of the 'options backdating' scandal from 10-15 years ago, except this time it's games being played with strike prices, not issuance dates.

It's about oil that had runup already to WTI $85 and Brent $90. But it didn't move much after that. Similar for gold. Only cryptos showed real-time moves (at one point, Bitcoin -8%, digital-gold +32%) when none of the markets were trading, but those have calmed down too.
But we haven't seen the end of the story yet.

What's a "TV Guide?"
To clarify for those who aren't old, a TV Guide is a weekly magazine that kept you up to speed on the latest details for complex sitcoms such as "Three's Company" and "Mork & Mindy". TV Guides may still be available at your local supermarket, but nobody actually purchases them.... they will typically be covered with dust, read only by the poor souls stuck waiting in line while the store clerk figures some old lady's 60 cent coupon issue.
DJT "bounced" back to $32.59 after touching $29.57 intraday on Friday. Next stop....$25. Woot-woot!

“ Yes. We'll surely be taking a peek at futures after 8pm EST tonight and the Asia markets.
FINVIZ offers a quick and dirty look for some items. As with viewing now (10am), and then peeking again this evening .”

Right on @Catch22
The cross-currents on the investment front are profound. Guess Jamie Dimon has it about right when he sees rates somewhere between 2% and 8% at year-end. (Yogi’s earlier thread)
A few personal observations:
- Several “white-knuckle” foreign issues ongoing …
- Frayed domestic politics - seemingly heading for some sort of cataclysm in November …
- Some U.S. equity markets (especially tech) sizzling hot (up 30% + in a year) …
- Consumer staples & value stocks in a prolonged slump …
- Commodities and and gold surging …
- Inflation running hotter than the Fed or anyone else wants …
- A Fed Chair who appears very much disposed to lower rates while dissent among some of voting members appears to be surfacing …
- Longest running inverted yield curve in memory (or ever?) …
- 7+% mortgages on new homes while those with older 3% mortgages are reluctant to sell …
All this … and as Yogi Berra might say - “You can make 5% without even trying!”

I can still recall the Columbia record deal insert from the weekly TV Guide. It was something like "$.01 for 10 records". You later had to buy 1 additional album per month for life at approx. $14 each - that was a lot back then.

What's a "TV Guide" :-)
My impression of the Columbia records is that they were specially pressed and lower grade (cheap vinyl, compressed dynamics and/or poor remastering). Way too long ago to remember details, but Columbia House (marketing?) and Columbia Special Products (records) ring some bells.
The way to go was with high quality, solid performance Musical Heritage Society recordings. Promo was something like: buy three albums and we'll throw in Pachelbel's Canon for free. No further obligation (except for the monthly mailings: if you don't decline, we'll mail you this month's album and bill you).

There is not much that trades over the weekend. VIX was to be trading 24/7 somewhere in the world, but it isn't there. Even gold trading takes a short break over the weekend.
But, cryptos trade all the time. So, looking at it over the last 12 hours,
Bitcoin initially fell 8%, but now down only 4.5%,
Digital-gold (Pax Gold) spiked to $3,098, but then has stabilized around $2,450.
The US futures markets and the Asian markets will open on Sunday evening. The European markets open on Sunday night.
The US market open on Monday should be interesting.

@Old_Joe Who you call'in 'old'? :) We're well seasoned older humans with brain cells full of experiences and knowledge.
I kinda liked the bread toasters and other items offered by banks to open an account. I still recall promotion tables being set up in the customer service area with 'gift' choices in place. :)

Never had bank gifts, but I do remember S&P Green Stamps....

Wow.... memories.... S&P Green Stamps... I don't remember them that well but I do remember them. I was in elementary school at the time. I just googled them to jog my memory, they were actually S&H Green Stamps. For some reason it reminded me of when I ordered my Beatles wig from Cousin Brucie (NY radio dj) -- I never got it!

S & H Green Stamps. I knew that's what you meant. :)

Well, crap !!!
