evidence: Along with inspiring former President Donald Trump to alter his Republican National Committee (RNC) speech and – judging by the results of the 1984 elections – creating the conditions for a proper red tide in November, the July 13 assassination attempt had a significant impact on the shares of Trump Media (NASDAQ: DJT). [...] As it turned out, extensive stock market activity targeting DJT also preceded the assassination attempt. Austin Private Wealth, LLC, a financial planning company based in Texas, bought put options on as many as 12 million shares of DJT just one day before the attack. The short position taken by Austin Private Wealth on July 12 was also the largest among those listed – the second-biggest being the 1.677 million short made by Citadel in May.
