Trump the meme stock. How does he actually cash in? Very few people have figured out a way to monetize inflated meme stocks bc as soon as they do, the bubble bursts. What they CAN do while they've got this positive momentum, issue new primary shares and load the company w/cash 👇
They can use that cash to basically buy anything. It is funny money. They can acquire a real businesses and turn this into something. But it's unlikely they want to be that strategic. If they really just want to get the money out, they can pay dividends to all shareholders. 👇
They can probably raise 1B of cash in an at-the-market offering and pay it out.Trump would get his cash with good tax treatment. Issuing more shares would dilute Trump's position,but he'd still be able to cash out with A LOT of money.This would be the easiest way to monetize this
@SRuhle So, the typical Wall Street strategy: Acquire a company, borrow a shit ton of money, pay it all out to preferred stockholders, file for bankruptcy, and then raise the principle officers' salaries so they can bleed the rest of the cash while guiding the company through bankruptcy.
