Now to be clear, the most recent action weâve seen on Trump media stocks has been... [Energy and Capital Header] Practical Investment Analysis for the New Energy Economy URGENT: Read this now if you own Trumpâs Social Media Stock Jeff Siegel | Apr 12, 2024 If youâre investing in Trump media stocks, do it because you believe in his ability to help you create wealth. Not because you like the guy. [Trump media stocks] Look, I like a lot of people, but not very many can lead me to profits. It seems like common sense, but sometimes itâs easy to get caught up in current trends and political leanings. And when you do that, you can easily lose sight of why youâre investing in the first place: to create wealth. Now before I go any further, understand, when it comes to Republicans vs. Democrats, I have no horse in that race. Iâm an unapologetic libertarian. And to be honest, I find the whole two-party system to be one of the greatest scams ever perpetrated on our democracy. But Iâm not here to wax poetic about politics. Instead, I just want to show you how you can make a lot more money from one single biotech stock than youâll ever make from Trump media stocks. And in this case, weâre clearly talking about Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT). One American Firm's Top-Secret AI Tech Could Help Defeat Hamas One tiny American firm is working with the FBI, CIA, and NSA to develop advanced AI technology. Itâs the most well-connected AI firm in the world... This firmâs technology has already disrupted Syrian air defenses, destroyed an Iranian uranium facility, and thwarted cyberattacks on U.S. power plants. Not to mention, Ukraine would not have made nearly as much progress repelling Russiaâs invasion without this advanced AI tech. Now this tiny AI defense firm is set to turn the tides of the Israel-Hamas war... And hand its early investors as much as 10x their money. [Learn more about this small AI defense company before its stock soars.]( The Trump Media Stocks Dilemma On October, 2021, a SPAC called Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: DWAC), announced it would take Donald Trumpâs social media platform public. Following that announcement, the stock gained more than 120%. No matter how you feel about Trump, the bottom line is that this guy has a lot of fans. And indeed, the Trump brand can still put asses in seats. The action we saw on DWAC after that announcement is proof of that. Make no mistake: that trading action was the result of the Trump name. It was not the result, however, of careful analysis or due diligence. If it were, itâs unlikely the stock wouldâve moved at all. Truth is, even if you think Donald Trump was the greatest president the U.S. has ever had, his track record on taking companies public is not a good one. In fact, the last time Trump took a company public, it ended up being a miserable failure for shareholders. Dan Alexander from Forbes summed up that debacle pretty well when he wrote about Trumpâs previous public company, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts. Check it out: Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts started with just one Atlantic City casino, but Trump personally held another two outside of the firm. Less than a year after taking the company public, he used it to buy one of his two other casinos, the debt-burdened Taj Mahal, in a deal that valued his stake at $40.5 million. The transaction improved Trumpâs personal balance sheet, but the company suddenly had a disastrous amount of debt. As part of the agreement, Trump also collected $51 million of cash and $11 million of stock, in exchange for land that he had previously rented to the company for about 5% of that price annually. A couple of months later, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts announced that it was going to pony up roughly another $500 million for Trumpâs third Atlantic City casino. At the time, one analyst estimated that the property was worth more like $400 million, suggesting Trump was essentially robbing the public company of $100 million. Investors smelled a rotten deal, and shares plummeted 37% within days. In 1998, Trump treated himself to two personal loans from the company, taking out $11 million in one instance and $13.5 million in another. Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts racked up an estimated $13 million of expenses. This was for things like entertaining at other Trump properties, using Trumpâs personal planes and leasing space inside Trump Tower. Trump also collected lots of fees. He had one agreement that paid him based on the performance of a particular casino. But according to the deal, Trump had to âpromptlyâ pay back the money if things went south. Things did go south, but Trump kept the $1.3 million. The publicly traded company eventually ended up crediting the missing funds against later earnings. In a different example, a separate Trump company collected $1.3 million as part of a âservices agreement.â According to the SEC, however, Trumpâs separate company was ânot required to devote any prescribed time to the performance of its dutiesâ in order to collect the money. Such nickel-and-dime machinations added up. From 1995 to 2004, Trump personally received an estimated $50 million in fees, salaries, rents and so forth. Over that same stretch, the company lost $647 million. In 2004, it declared bankruptcy. His track record with private companies isnât so hot either. Trump University, Trump Steaks, the Trump Shuttle airline. These were all huge disasters, and his social media company will be no different. 9 Billionaires Shifting Funds Here (Plus Warren Buffett) The smartest investors in the world are making a BIG move right now. David Tepper, Steve Cohen, Bill Gross, Paul Tudor Jones, Jeremy Grantham, George Soros, Carl Icahn, Jim Simons, and Larry Fink... They're jumping into oil and gas stocks with both feet. Meanwhile, 99% of investors canât see whatâs coming. According to Keith Kohl, our oil and gas analyst, three powerful economic triggers are converging on the oil markets right now... A "perfect storm" unlike anything weâve seen in 50 years. The last time this happened, a small group of oil companies made 20x returns in a few years. Some gains were as high as 3,000%! Thatâs exactly the type of oil company Keith is recommending today.  Heâs calling it "the No. 1 oil stock of the decade." [Get the name and ticker here before oil prices surge higher.]( Now to be clear, the most recent action weâve seen on Trump media stocks has been fantastic for day traders. Trump Media and Technology Group absolutely soared after it merged with DWAC. The stock gained more than 50% on that news.  Since then, however, the stock has begun to shed the gains from that âbig day." And I predict the stock will be trading for less than $20 before the end of summer. [DJT chart] Understand, this is not a criticism of Trump as a presidential candidate or entrepreneur. Itâs just an honest observation of an investment that isnât worth your time or your money. Truth is, while some folks are still chasing DJT, weâve been making a fortune in the biotech space with a few EN-23 stocks that are riding high on FDA approvals. I actually told you about one last month called MindMed (NASDAQ: MNMD) right before it shot to the moon. If youâre new to Energy & Capital, hereâs what I wrote... EN-23 is a valuable class of molecules that drastically improves brain function. Itâs actually one of the biggest breakthroughs medical science has seen in 50 years. Not only can it treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and addiction, it can also help you lose weight, treat chronic pain and extend your life by up to 20 years. I also included a link to [my write-up on MindMed.]( About a week later, the company announced it received breakthrough designation status from the FDA. If youâre unfamiliar, the FDA grants breakthrough status for drugs that treat life-threatening conditions. Hereâs how the stock has performed since I first told you about it... [mnmd411] Make no mistake: THAT is how you get rich. Not by chasing Trump media stocks. Now here's the good news. While MindMed already got breakthrough status, there are a few more that are about to get it, too. And you can [read about those stocks here.]( You can also check out this short presentation on [my top 3 EN-23 stocks to own before next week.]( To a new way of life and a new generation of wealth...
