Did Someone Short Trump Media With Advanced Knowledge of Assassination?
QUESTION: Marty: You are the one who discovered that people with knowledge of an event take positions in the market to make a profit. I think the government used your discovery to search trades on 911. Would you comment on this relation to Trump Media and the assassination attempt? It seems everyone is pointing the finger at a Texas firm in Austin.
Someone with a real computer forecast needs to step in here.
Thanks

ANSWER: It appears the Computer was indirectly forecasting the assassination would fail. Back-to-back directional changes targeted the weeks of July 15th and 22nd. Curiously, the Sepetember period, that has been giving me heartburn, shows up here in Trump’s share as well for the week of September 16th.
It is absolutely clear that Trump Media Technology has been the target of political activity rather than bonafide professional trading. The stock took off on January 16th, 2024, when it was clear that Trump won Iowa. Ever since there has been politically motivated shorting of the stock since there is no legitimate trading pattern that would have warranted a huge short position of this magnitude. The trading pattern clearly suggested that Trump would survive this first attempt to assassinate him.
I can say that whoever decided to take such a huge short position was clearly acting politically and not as a professional trader. When we look at the monthly level, July was a Directional Change, and we still see September as a turning point. However, the volatility will rise after that during October and November, with the latter being a Panic Cycle. Then, we see a string of Directional Changes between November and January, when the inauguration will take place.
What I can say is that it will require an INDEPENDENT investigation – NOT FBI or anyone connected with the Biden Administration. You are looking at motives and backers behind such trades, but what is absolutely clear is that this trading is motivated by politics. No professional trader would short this pattern in size other than a day trade.
