Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Question: why did this stock have some trading history in the past five years, if it started trading this year?
Digital World Acquisition Corp was a SPAC that was traded on the NASDAQ already. It merged with Trump Media and Technology Group to create a new stock ticker. So the trading history is mostly DWAC until it ceased to exist when it was merged with TMTG.
Bet you'll never guess when that happened.
Lol, did the holders of DWAC stock get to keep them? Or were those diluted? I guess what I wonder is, if I held DWAC stock, then the merge happened, then the stock price increased, could have I sold this stock at its peak or not?
Investors holding DWAC pre-merger would’ve been able to sell it off as DJT as soon as the merger was complete. Trump can’t sell his shares for six months after the merger without permission from his company’s board.
Instead of buying regular shares of DWAC, some people invested in warrants which can be turned into ordinary shares in the future at a price of $11.50/warrant. Those can’t be exercised until 30 days after the merger and are trading under the ticker DJTWW. DWACW (now DJTWW) was trading at $20 just before the merger, so people who bought at that price essentially locked in a future price of $31.50/share of DJT once the added cost of exercising the warrants is factored in. That could’ve been a nice windfall if DJT maintained its spike of $70 after the merger, but it isn’t much of a deal at today’s closing price of $26.61 and they still have about ten more days to go until they can trade in their warrants. Most of the time the warrants traded at a much lower price than $20, however. Whoever was selling when they were at $20 probably made a decent profit.
