I hope SEC keeps an eye on Jacks activities and some of his close pals to see if any of them were shorting this stock before he banned Trump. This result was fully expected when he was banned.
Advertisers are going to have much fewer eyes on their products and they won't be very inspired by the of the alt-left losers who dislike America. "You're racist, xenophobic and a dirtbag who shouldn't be allowed a life. China is the place to be" Yeah, that really gets me in the mood to buy some junk from an advertiser.

Twitter Inc. shares fell 7% in pre-market trading after the social media platform permanently banned outgoing President Donald Trump.
The company confirmed its decision in a blog post on Friday, saying Trump’s tweets breached policies by risking incitement to violence. It cited his posts on the riots in the U.S. capital last week.
It’s a watershed moment for technology platforms that have faced conflicting pressures on one hand to restrict misinformation and hate speech, and defend free speech on the other.
Twitter was Trump’s preferred channel for amplifying attacks on his rivals, spreading conspiracies and provoking other nations during his four years in power.
Mirabaud analyst Neil Campling said the ban shows the company is making editorial decisions, and opens the door to more regulation of social media under the next administration.
“In the U.S., it’s about how are these companies being regulated, are they regulated, should they be regulated?” Campling said by phone.
What’s more, Trump is “the most popular character” on the platform, he added.
