Suspicious. Stock Market Was Shorting Truth Social Days Before Assassination Attempt

Short positions against Truth Social more than doubled in the days prior to the assassination attempt. It means, the market was betting heavily that the stock price would fall significantly...something that would have happened had Donald Trump been killed.


Other social media companies, such as Meta, did not have the same sort of activity...in fact, the short positions declined over that same period. This means the market wasn't betting against social media in general...just Truth Social.

A similar phenomenon occurred prior to 9/11, when the market increased put options 6 fold against United and American Airlines.
