📉 Down Goes Frazier

So does $DJT, the overall market, and my golf game. But at least summer's here, right?

Happy Friday Zingernation! It’s that time of the year when I accept the fact that my baseball team won’t be winning the World Series, this won’t be the summer I break 80 on the golf course and the only way I’m getting that six-pack I wanted is if I hit the beer aisle at the grocery store. But hey, at least I might be able to afford a house someday after all.

Basically: The multi-week criminal trial against former President Donald Trump has come to an end with a guilty verdict on 34 charges of falsified business records.

Some Context: After weeks of jury selection and 22 witnesses testifying on behalf of the prosecution and defense, the jury reached a verdict yesterday, as reported by NBC News.

Some Details: Closing arguments in the trial presented on Tuesday centered on Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen, who testified in the case. The prosecution told the jury that Cohen and key witness Stormy Daniels may not be perfect people, but they could help corroborate how Trump knowingly was involved in falsifying business records ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

What’s Next: With a guilty verdict on all counts by the jury, Trump's team will likely appeal the verdict. Trump is unlikely to receive prison time due to having no criminal record.

The Price Action: $DJT shares traded at $46.50, down 11% in after-hours trading yesterday. The media company, which was co-founded by Trump, has been heavily volatile during the criminal trial proceedings.

Everyone wants to live healthier and longer lives. Longevity research leader Telomir Pharmaceuticals ($TELO) has a solution that could help — and it’s as simple as changing shoelaces. 

Telomeres are protective caps found at the ends of our chromosomes, akin to the plastic tips on shoelaces that prevent fraying. With each cell division, these telomeres gradually shorten, a major contributor to the aging process.

To fight this, Telomir is testing its unique and innovative Telomir-1, the first and only age-reversal technology with the key to extending telomeres and reversing the negative effects of aging. As a non-toxic oral therapy, Telomir-1 offers a safe, patient-friendly alternative to existing treatments, ensuring maximum efficacy with minimal side effects.

Early preclinical studies indicate Telomir’s potential efficacy in telomere elongation and age reversal, and its addressable market exceeds $7.4 billion worldwide, positioning $TELO for unprecedented success. 

With more milestones on the horizon, Telomir Pharmaceuticals is on the brink of a medical revolution. Join us in our quest to unlock the secrets of age reversal and transform lives around the world.
